[previewyoutube=JhNHYLe5aI0;full][/previewyoutube] Greetings, survivors! DayZ update 1.21 has just been released on all platforms! We’ve got something unique for you this time around because we’re traveling back to medieval times! What does that mean exactly? Let’s dive right in and find out.

The crossbow is a ranged weapon that can shoot deadly bolts and fit a variety of sights and scopes. The bolts are recoverable, though they will suffer a loss in durability every time they hit their target. In case you can’t find your bolt after you’ve shot it, you can always create improvised ones to replenish your supply.

We don’t want to spoil the fun by going into specifics, but let’s just say there’s enough variety to equip a survivor knight who’s ready to lay siege on a castle base. In other update news, fans and winners of last year’s Lights Out event will be happy to learn that the winning flags have made it into the game and can now be found in Livonia.

As we announced at the end of April, we’ve decided to wipe characters and server persistence files in order to freshen up the experience and facilitate central economy adjustments on the official servers. The wipe is not mandatory for community servers. If you’d like to learn more about update 1.21, you can find a list of all the changes on our official forums [url=https://forums.dayz.com/topic/254894-console-update-121/]Here[/url] We hope you enjoy this latest update and wish you many great adventures!
