DAYZ Update 1.21 Revealed
DAYZ programmers discussed the nearing new content update 1.21 for the first time during a live webcast on April 18, 2023. One of the notable additions is DayZ's first-ever spring-powered weapon, the crossbow, which can be loaded with a variety of bolts and fitted with different sights and scopes.
The projectiles can be recovered and are animated upon impact with an entity, making the ballistic properties and recoverability the most complex aspects of the crossbow. Quick slots have been rebalanced, fall damage has been made more readable, and the in-game UI brightness can now be adjusted for improved readability.
The lighting of the inventory camera has also been adjusted, and thrown items falling through the ground have been fixed. Players can now spawn bushes, trees, and rocks through the server-side object spawner, and the Linux server distribution is in the final stages of testing.
We have given the complete DAYZ Update 1.21 Patch Notes in the section below. DAYZ Update 1.21 Patch Notes that was released on 20th April 2023 is an Experimental Update.

DAYZ Wiki
An exclusively online survival video game called DayZ was created and distributed by Bohemia Interactive. It is a standalone game based on an ARMA 2 mod of the same name. The game officially came out for Windows in December 2018 after a five-year early access period, and it was released for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2019.
The backdrop of ARMA 2 was the hypothetical post-Soviet Republic of Chernarus, where the majority of the populace had been transformed into violent "infected" by an unknown plague. In order to survive the outbreak, the player must forage the environment for food, water, weapons, and medicine while also killing or dodging the infected and murdering, dodging, or collaborating with other players.
When Dean Hall, the mod's creator, joined Bohemia Interactive to start work on the standalone version of the game, DayZ's development got in the way. The main goals of the development have been to adapt the engine to the requirements of the game, create a functional client-server architecture, and add new features like diseases and a more effective inventory system. Over three million copies of the game were sold during the early access period.
DAYZ Gameplay
DAYZ is a survival video game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Players must scavenge for food, water, and supplies while avoiding zombies and other hostile players. The game features a large open-world map with various locations to explore, including cities, forests, and military bases.
