The standout feature of update 1.21 is the arrival of the bow, DayZ's first ranged projectile weapon. This deadly ranged weapon gives survivors a unique advantage in their encounters. Thanks to its ability to fire lethal projectiles and adapt to various targets and aiming points, the bow offers a new and exciting gameplay style for those who prefer a more stealthy approach. Although ammunition is recoverable, remember that each shot reduces its duration. However, don't worry about losing your resources: you can create improvised ammunition to replenish your arsenal.
Apart from the bow, a multitude of replica medieval objects and clothing has been scattered across Chernarus and Livonia. Survivors will discover a selection of armour, including chainmail, greaves, helmets and Norse-style helmets.Arm yourself as a valiant knight ready to assault enemy fortresses and keep your sword at the ready.
