DayZ update 1.18 has arrived on the stable branch of the zombie survival game and will make its mark. That’s because this patch adds an insane amount of explosives, including a grenade launcher, fireworks, mines, and more.
The first DayZ grenade launcher comes in the form of the M79, first used by the US military during the Vietnam War. It is a single shot bolt action weapon capable of launching a 40mm grenade up to 300 yards. You can load it with smoke grenades (black, white, red, or green) and frag grenades. Bohemia Interactive says that they also added another type of grenade that you can find in infested areas; we think it contains something poisonous.
Update 1.18 also adds the Claymore mine, which can be activated remotely. You can also make new improvised explosives by combining protective casings with explosives and some sort of trigger (can be an alarm clock, kitchen timer, or remote detonation device) which can also be used with the new added plastic explosives. in this patch.
Here is the trailer:
For something a little less destructive, there’s also a new firework launcher that you can find in abandoned amusement parks. Judging from the patch notes, it looks like they can be useful for distracting the infected.
Bohemia says that the planned DayZ vehicle simulation update was not ready for this update and that they will have more information about it soon.
