DayZ developers decided to test the new wardrobe

After the premiere of the motorcycle DLC, Bohemia Interactive studio has introduced a number of character appearance changes for their multiplayer zombie apocalypse survival simulator. The DayZ patch received version number 1.29 and is currently only available in test mode, but users can already see how the pilot's leather jacket and Soviet camp quilted jacket look on their characters. The set also includes headwear, footwear, and some other changes. Let's take a closer look at them.

Harsh survival conditions dictate special fashion. Therefore, characters are offered jackets with fur lining, quilted jackets, fox and bear fur hats, felt budenovkas, and sturdy insulated boots. Among other improvements, it's worth noting the changes to the Sakhal bunker—it has received an additional entrance, among other things. Smooth transitions between different types of terrain have been created, assault rifle and pistol sounds have been reworked, and the weapon arsenal has been expanded. Bohemia Interactive employees continue to make the game's servers more performant during high player traffic—significant progress has already been made. At least in terms of frame rate, as initially, maximum load dropped the framerate to 9 fps.

The group respawn system has also been updated, although it still leaves much to be desired, as the developers themselves admit. A special surprise has been prepared for amateur mod creators—they will be able to customize not only item locations but also, for example, their characters' animations. It is known that the stable release of game version 1.29 is expected after the trial period, which traditionally lasts from four to six weeks.
