New items, mechanics, and crafting materials will be added to DayZ as part of the new update. Here’s a quick rundown of what new content to expect in patch 1.10:
- You can now break the players lower leg, damage is applied by falling or brute force (walking/fighting with a broken leg will result in shock damage)
- Added the Signal Pistol and its ammunition (in various colors)
- Added crafted Tanned Leather using Garden Lime
- Added crafted Leather Backpack
- Added crafted Improvised Shelter
- Added localization for Brazilian-Portuguese
- Added the crafted Splint
- Added Tarp (material)
- Added the ability to replace ruined parts of tents (entrance-/window-covers) with tarp
- Added the Pipe Wrench
- You can now repair a damaged car engine with the Pipe Wrench
- You can now repair parts of the vehicle chassis with an Epoxy Putty
- Clothing items now have an indicator for their insulation value
- Exposure to wind will make your character freeze more (forests can provide cover)
- Food decays over time
- Items dry up over-time when put on the ground or in a cargo space on the ground (proximity to a fireplace is no longer required, but the area of a fireplace dries items faster)
- Items cool down over-time in the player’s inventory and on the ground
- Added a heat buffer to supply an overtime heat bonus to the thermal comfort of the player character (you receive a temporary heat bonus after spending time near a fireplace)
- Added a smoking slot to several types of fireplaces, used to dry meat
- Added additional coastline details between Storozh (prison island) and Ostrog, making the sea traversal easier and more interesting (Chernarus)
- Punching now deals damage to gloves and can cause bleeding to bare hands
- Added a visual effect to increasing shock damage (both reflecting getting hit, and current state)
- Added damage when jumping out of a running vehicle (also including a chance for broken legs and death)
- New visual heat haze effect for the fireplace, flare, road flare and torch lights

Consoles players will no doubt be wondering what the devs are planning for DayZ on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Bohemia have confirmed that the popular sandbox survival game will be available via backwards compatible on both systems for those who already own a copy of DayZ. They haven’t announced a specific update for these new consoles though according to Bohemia, there’s a noticeable improvement in general performance including a more steady framerate.
