DayZ Receives Tons of New Content in 1.17 Update

DayZ update 1.17 is live on PC and Console Tuesday, April 19th, 2022.

DayZ, the hardcore open-world survival game, has just got its 1.17 update, and it's bringing a lot of new content. Which fans of the game seem to be pretty excited for since it's the last update, 1.16, came out over a year ago. So, understandably there is a lot of hype when Bohemia Interactive drops a new update with tons of new content, bug fixes, and even a pretty intriguing trailer.

The added content is coming in the form of new weapons, loot, and even crafting methods. Not to mention changed content and a plethora of bug fixes. And if you've ever played DayZ, you know there's no shortage of bugs riddled throughout the game. Since DayZ's release, players have had a love-hate relationship with the standalone version of the game. Hopefully, the slew of bug patches has rounded DayZ into a better version of itself, and the extra content has helped the game reach its full potential.
