Bohemia Interactive has recently launched the Badlands expansion for DayZ. This expansion adds a massive new area for players to survive in. The significance of this update lies in the fact that it alters the scale of the game in a fundamental way, adding the biggest official map in the game so far. Players will have to adapt their survival techniques in order to deal with the new area and scale.
Bohemia Interactive adds 267 square kilometer map and rebuilding system
The Badlands expansion takes place in the province of Nasdar, which is to the west of the original Chernarus area. The new area adds a whole new look and challenges for the DayZ game. Players will find unique types of infected, weapons, and gear for surviving in this brutal environment.
The new Badlands map is 267 square kilometers in size, which is a massive increase in the amount of space to explore and fight in. 'Rebuilding' is a new mechanic that lets players repair or barricade buildings to defend them. The rebuilding mechanic adds a new level of strategy to base building that wasn't there before.
In addition to the Badlands expansion, Bohemia Interactive also launched Patch 1.3 for the Experimental branch. The new patch adds new visuals to the UI and improved infected animations for an improved immersion. Motorbikes have also been added to the game as a new way to travel in the huge new map.
