DayZ Mod version 1.8.2 has been released, and a variety of fixes and updates have emerged via this.

DayZ Mod was launched by Dean Hall for Arma 2 in 2012 but it went on to become an independent game. However, there has been strong support for the mod.

The new update will see some changes like the build mode camera and addition of the wooden fence system.

Some of the fixes introduced via this update are: crossbow flashlight issue has been fixed, infested waterholes will now load correctly, UI icons going blank is fixed, the fly sounds from dead bodies have been removed.

DayZ was released on 16 December 2013 as a multiplayer open-world survival horror title by Bohemia Interactive for PC. The PlayStation 4 edition will be coming soon, Bohemia Interactive announced at Gamescom 2014.

The game allows players to traverse on the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernaru, a place known for the outbreak of an unknown virus that has turned all its inhabitants into violent zombies. Survivors should scavenge the area for food, water, weapons and medicine. They can either kill zombies or avoid them.

DayZ has sold more than 2 million units since after its alpha release.
