As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the new Sakhal DLC for DayZ is a game-changer. Coming from someone who has braved the unforgiving terrains of Chernarus and Livonia on PC, this new map offers an entirely fresh and exhilarating survival experience.
The latest addition, dubbed the “Sakhal DLC,” marks a thrilling new phase in the official content of DayZ, brought to us by Bohemia Interactive.
While PC players have long enjoyed access to a variety of modded maps, including jungle, snow, and desert terrains, console players were limited to just two official maps.
Now, we’ve added a new official DayZ map by connecting Chernarus and Livonia – the third one is called Sakhal, priced approximately at 25€.
Sakhal 1.26 – What’s new?
Sakhal emphasizes the grueling task of enduring the merciless chill. Rapidly locating suitable attire, a means to ignite heat, and sustenance becomes crucial for one’s survival.
The map presents a variety of chances for survival, as it includes villages with distinctive areas for valuable finds and fire sites.
Along the way, you’ll encounter wildlife, infected, and, of course, other players.
Geothermal Factory
On the map of Sakhal in DayZ, the geothermal power plant stands out as a notable landmark. Yet, have you ever wondered about its inner workings? What’s the purpose of that large fan-equipped building? And where do all those pipes lead? Join us on this journey to learn some fascinating engineering facts, so you can impress your friends with your knowledge during your next visit! (1/10)

Right in the core of this map, you’ll find the geothermal factor. It used to be a rather uninteresting spot with minimal military loot and a bland layout. But now, thanks to the feedback from the gaming community, Bohemia Interactive has given it a fresh makeover.
Now, with visual improvements, this zone is positioned to become a key area of interest.
South-Eastern Coast
One persistent issue in DayZ Frostline is wet clothing—a familiar nuisance for players.
On the winter map, however, it’s a critical hindrance, with icy swims often leading to hypothermia.
In this newest release, I’m thrilled to discover more territories have been added along the southern shoreline, making ice traversals easier and significantly decreasing the chances of developing hypothermia. What a fantastic improvement!
Loot & Player Spawn Fixes
In the game DayZ, tall structures have been notoriously poor in supplies. Many players emerge from hours of rummaging through them with nothing to show for it.
Bohemia has tackled this issue by increasing the number of loot spots for valuable items such as food and weapons, not just in smaller structures but also in larger ones.
Additionally, players can discover items appearing on various objects such as crates, wooden pallets, and shelves, a characteristic that was only present in custom community-made maps until now.
High vantage points like harbor cranes and lighthouses now offer better loot chances.
Furthermore, freshie spawn areas have been introduced along the southeastern coastline, providing a mix in the early game travel paths.
Loot & Player Spawn Fixes
Additional adjustments encompass expediting the thawing process of frozen goods, enhancing the audio effects on boats, and addressing issues where items appear underneath other objects.
The top-tier military equipment found within the Sakhal Bunker area has undergone a modification, with the glow plug now becoming available only after completing the scientific mission.
