Infamous ArmA 2 mod, DayZ has been patched, which throws in an excellent collection of new features for the game. There's a collection of food; featuring chicken, rabbit, mutton, bacon, and cooked counterparts, which can affect your infection. Weapons added include a Czech assault rifle, sniper rifle complete with mossy camoflauge, and the American G36 assault rifle.
In addition to the weapons and food, two new vehicles have been added, and zombies have been given the ability to damage, or even pull drivers out of them.
