While PC gamers often tout the benefits of the PC platform such as the modding scene, many of them never actually delve into the world of mods. There are a lot of reasons for this, but probably the biggest one is many people are scared off by actually getting a mod to install and function properly. Well the barrier of entry has been reduced significantly for DayZ, as the wildly popular Arma II mod now has an easy access and install page right on Steam
While the original method of installing the DayZ mod was not difficult, making things even easier for your community is always a plus. The page for the Steam installer is available here. Please note however that you will still need Arma II and Arma II: Operation Arrowhead to play the mod version of DayZ, remember this is not the much anticipated standalone version of the game, just a way to make installing the existing DayZ mod. If you can’t wait for the standalone and want to desperately try DayZ, the Arma II: Complete Collection is only $39.99 right now.
