After a lavish stagnation, the update 1.04 is finally here for all the console DayZ players. This means that the new weapons, throwing grenades feature and more is finally here. The announcement came from DayZ’s official Twitter Profile, on which the developers have also posted a link to all of the changes.
Previously, the deployment of patch 1.04 was absent due to bad submission on the PlayStation platform, for which Xbox One users had to wait as well. For that matter, the developers have decided to push the update only on the PC platform, while the consoles had to wait for a little longer.
Luckily, everything seems to be working as intended and patch 1.04 is available to download on both the PS4 and Xbox One.
