DayZ‘s experimental build has been updated to .45.12499 as of earlier today, and with it comes a whole lot of things to get excited for. While there was no official changelog for .45.12499, fans on the /r/DayZ subreddit have been keeping track of new changes to the game, which should theoretically release to stable build before the month is over.
For starters, animals have finally been added to the game. Pigs and deer can be found roaming the land, with players having free reign to kill them for their tasty flesh. The ability to now cook, a feature that has been delayed for quite some time, has also been added. Berry and apple picking can be done from the right type of fauna, and chopping down trees for wood and tinder can also be done.
Two new towns, Novo and Karmanovka have been found and feature unique building types. New items such as road flares, fireplace kits, uniforms, and weapon parts have been added along with a host of gameplay tweaks.
All in all, this is a pretty big patch. There’s even helicopter crash sites!
