Patch 7.8 has gone live and brings players a lot of new content, including a new area in the middle of the map containing a village claimed by fire and new debuffs that must be cured with antibiotics and bandages.
Another impressing addition to the game is the rather sizable list of new items, recipes, and containers that this update adds, allowing players to craft and build items like pillars, special doors and the all-new .44 magnum. Besides that there are also some cool visual and auditory changes, such as better pain animations for the zombies, as well as very long list of changes and bug fixes.
Overall this seems like a very good update to me, so if you are interested in seeing what else it adds and changes, then the full patch notes can be found on the official website sourced below.
