Description:
The DayZ: Livonia DLC is a major expansion for the open-world survival game, adding a completely new map for players to explore and survive in. This DLC provides an entirely new experience, with a different atmosphere and set of challenges compared to the original Chernarus map.
The Livonia DLC includes the following key content:
-
A new map: The Livonia map is a 163 km² (63 sq mi) area, offering a dense, forested landscape inspired by the real-world region of Poland. This is in contrast to the more open, post-Soviet industrial landscape of Chernarus.
-
New wildlife: The dense forests of Livonia are home to a new apex predator, the European brown bear, which poses a significant threat to players. Other new animals, like wolves, also roam the wilderness.
-
A different kind of survival: With more forests, the Livonia map encourages a different approach to survival. It features more frequent rain, which can affect your character's temperature and health, forcing you to find shelter more often.
-
New military zones: The map is dotted with new military bases and abandoned towns, which are a source of high-tier loot but are also very dangerous and heavily guarded by the infected.
It's important to note that the Livonia DLC has been integrated into the base game for all new purchases. As of a recent update, the base game of DayZ now includes both the Chernarus and Livonia maps in a single, unified product.
