Bohemia Interactive's survival game DayZ is currently featured in Steam's Zombies vs Vampires Fest with discounts up to 50% on the base game and its bundles. The sale runs through June 2, with the highly anticipated Update 1.28 scheduled to release the following day.
Major Update 1.28 Brings New Weapons and Vehicle Improvements
Survivors in the post-apocalyptic world of DayZ have plenty to look forward to with Update 1.28. The update will introduce two new firearms and three new scopes to the game's already extensive arsenal, including the powerful 10x long-range Marksman Scope that should dramatically enhance long-distance combat options.
Perhaps most exciting for veteran players is the significant improvement to vehicle synchronization. After years of notoriously unpredictable car physics, players will finally be able to perform controlled drifts with vehicles—a feature the community has requested for years.
What's Included in the Steam Sale?
The Steam sale offers substantial discounts across all DayZ versions:
- DayZ Base Game - Up to 50% off
- DayZ Deluxe Edition - Up to 50% off
- DayZ Cool Edition - Up to 35% off
- DayZ Frostline - 26% off
What's New for Frostline DLC?
The Frostline DLC is receiving substantial content updates with dynamic events being added to refresh the Sakhal map experience. Players can expect to encounter helicopter crashes, boat wrecks, and medical events scattered across the frozen landscape, providing new opportunities for gear acquisition and player encounters.
These dynamic events should help maintain the unpredictable nature that makes DayZ such a compelling survival experience, while giving Frostline owners more reasons to explore the winter wonderland of Sakhal.
When Will These Updates Launch?
The current Steam sale runs until June 2, with Update 1.28 scheduled to release on June 3. This timing provides a perfect opportunity for new players to purchase the game at a discount before experiencing the fresh content drop.
