DayZ Landscape

Frostline

The DayZ Expansion Frostline is set in the rugged volcanic archipelago of Sakhal, this 83 km² explorable map offers a variety of environments, including frozen lakes, snowy forests, tundras, and volcanic mountain ranges. Realistic snow dynamics, which change depending on altitude, and harsh weather conditions create a unique challenge for players. The beautiful but hostile terrain of Sakhal pushes survivors to the limit as they battle the environment, wildlife, and volcanic hazards.

Frostline’s winter landscape is impressive and realistic, the snow levels change depending on the altitude. Snow-covered trees and frosted rocks enhance the immersive experience. Surviving in this extreme climate, with temperatures as low as -30°C, requires careful heat management to avoid frostbite. Players can build fires, seek shelter, or find hot springs to keep warm and heat frozen food before consumption.

 

New wildlife, including rabbits and reindeer, adapted to the cold environment, present additional hunting challenges. Frostline also introduces revamped fishing mechanics, new diseases, and winter gear, such as thick gloves and wolf-headed hats, which add to the complexity of survival.

To access Frostline, you will need the base DayZ game. The expansion will be included in future DayZ packs, and a major update will be applied to all maps, making the Livonia map free. This update not only fixes bugs and balances but also improves systems such as fishing.

 

The expansion will be available for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, with an expected price of around $26.99. It’s important to note that DayZ is known for its mature content, so it may not be suitable for all players.
