DayZ gets a major update with explosive chaos

DayZ update 1.18 brings explosives, weapons and a new dynamic event.

After the helicopters, the DayZ map is now filled with wrecked trains, from civilian to military trains, which can lead to completely unexpected encounters and, above all, organized ambushes. To complete them, players can use the M79 grenade launcher with three different 40mm rounds, sawed-off shotguns for the Blaze rifle and revolver (reduced weight and number of required inventory slots), smoke grenades, explosive grenades, rare P-OX Grenades containing lethal gas, and Claymore mines. Note that a timer or detonator can be used to remotely trigger new plastic and homemade explosives.
