DayZ dogs detailed in new video

DayZ creator Dean “Rocket” Hall has been showing IGN his plans to bring dogs to DayZ. They’ll act as faithful companions that can track down animals and, eventually, will defend you from zombie attacks. The German Shepherd can be given orders, but the extent to which he’ll follow them depends on how experienced he is. A young dog will wander around trying to find you after 30 seconds if he’s not well trained.

Of course, owning a dog brings with it the possibility of losing your chum to the zombie hordes. That’s a harrowing thought. I love dogs, even virtual ones that sit so still it looks as though they’ve died and been replaced by a stiff taxidermy replica. Their addition to DayZ will surely make the entire experience that much more fraught. See an early build of the dog update in action in this very video.

The DayZ Arma 2 mod is being updated alongside development of the standalone version of DayZ announced earlier in the month. Evan had a chat with Dean Hall recently about the future of DayZ, we can look forward to much more than dogs.

I'd be hyped for this if it wasn't for hackers wasting your time. I never got deep into the game because it was already too late and hackers were taking over but I don't see a reason to invest your time if a hacker can just teleport you and Cujo to the middle of the ocean or teleport you into the sky and watch you die [pic]

If I'm not mistaken this is probably the last update the game is gonna see until DayZ stand-alone game comes out.

yea my coworker loved the game for about 2 weeks, then couldnt take it any longer cause of how much the hackers have taken over. [pic]

1. They are working on both the standalone and the current version side by side.

2. I have only ran into ONE hacker in over 300 hours and 4+ months on DAYZ [pic]
