The zombie-filled world of DayZ is expanding even further with the game's latest update. The new patch adds some bug fixes and deals with optimization issues, while also tossing in some new map areas and additional weapons.

DayZ players can now explore the region of Novodmitrovsk, along with its industrial and tenement areas. Karmanovka has also been after previously being closed off. Inventory additions include flashbang grenades and hand grenades.

Dean "Rocket" Hall already has an idea of what the next DayZ update will contain, hinting on Twitter that ragdoll animation is on the way soon.

For the full changelist, check out the DayZ forums. Thanks to Chatty's niceguynick for the tip.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
