Bohemia Interactive has just released a new Dayz update 1.11 which brings in a new rifle in the game called SVAL. In addition, the update also completely wipes the characters and official servers, which has been anticipated for quite some time now.
The update is now live on all platforms including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Players can expect a significant improvement to the overall gameplay experience. This includes the behavior of zombies, interaction with vehicles, sea fishing, horticulture, damage triggers, server capacity and more.
The wipe means that you can step back into Dayz with a fresh start. A trailer was also released for the Dayz update 1.11. Check it out below:
Players will also be excited about the new weapon that has been added to the game, which is the new SVAL rifle that you might spot near helicopter crash sites around Chernarus and Livonia. If you are wondering, the SVAL is a Czech word for muscle. There are also new 20 rounder magazines for the 9×39 ammo, which you can use for both the SVAL and the VSS.
Bohemia also talked about the base building contest that took place last year in September, adding that the winning flag designs are now available to use in-game. Lastly, the update also brings important optimizations fixing bugs and improving stability.
These are some of the changes you will encounter:
- Fixed various zombie behaviors such as the infected colliding and going through the player’s character.
- Interaction with cars is more realistic, fixing random character bugs when entering and leaving cars.
- No more strange interruptions when sea fishing
- Huge improvements to horticulture
- Polished damage dealing and triggers
- Massive improvement on the engine script, allowing servers to load more mods than ever before.
