DayZ 1.10 Patch Notes

After the pilot phase of 1.10 on the experimental servers, the long-awaited DayZ update 1.10 is now out. The patch notes for the 1.10 update have finally arrived. Breaking legs has become a possibility once again. The new DayZ is stretching back to its roots, as players will have to deal with multiple “old but new” features in the latest update. The update is already available on both consoles and it just became available on PC too.

Among other things, new items, bug fixes, mechanics, and a bunch of other stuff aims to bolster the game’s popularity even further. Bohemia Interactive’s DayZ already offers some of the best and most realistic survival experience, and if you’re a lover of survival games, then you shouldn’t miss this gem.

With this update, Bohemia already spoiled me too much. I have to dive back into it as soon as possible. Reading the patch notes excited my friends and me as we’re already plotting our tactics for when we join some high pop server. But, without further ado, I leave you with the patch notes listed below.
