Prague, 29^th Aug 2023 – The post-apocalyptic survival game DayZ once again beckons its community with the rollout of much-awaited Update 1.22. Accessible on all platforms, this update brings forth an array of intriguing enhancements, including a new low to medium tier of bags, revised combat mechanics, and superior server browser features, all of which combine to offer an improved and enthralling gameplay experience.

Diverse Array of Bags
Topping the list in Update 1.22 is the diverse range of bags for every survivor's needs. From the Sling Bag available in three distinct designs to the robust Leather Duffel Bag with three unique looks, players have numerous options to choose from. Additionally, those looking for expanded craftable items will be pleased with the Craftable Drysack Bag, which is available in three styles and ensures your goods remain dry and safe.

Reworked Combat System
With a spotlight on melee combat, the new update has shifted gears on how bleeding is induced, as it now takes into consideration the specific type of clothing worn by players. The distinction between tools and weapons is also more pronounced, with clear differences in terms of damage and protection.
