As you might expect zombies are wondering around the landscape so players must be on guard. Unlike many other zombie games players have a whole host of problems that may occur. So what is the aim of the game, you may be asking? Well players have to stay alive as long as possible during a zombie outbreak in DayZ Mod. Required before installing the Arma 2 DayZ mod: Meaning that the modded version can be rather dull with no one to play with. Although players can still play the mod it’s very rare that other players are online. This was due to the fact that the mod was no longer receiving updates because the switch in developer focus. Because the mod moved over to its own game the mod actually lost the majority of its community. Which in fact got it’s own debut release on Steam early access in 2013 and is set for full release in 2018. Even though the mod uses the core mechanics of the game, it actually plays as a standalone game. Players were purchasing Arma 2 so they could play the mod, without even bothering to playing Arma. The mod itself was a huge success with numbers reaching over a million players in the first 6 months.

The Dayz mod was released back in 2013 as part of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead.
