Bohemia Interactive has released DayZ Update 1.87 (Internal Build 1.30.1) on October 21, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This hotfix primarily addresses technical instability introduced with the recent expansion, focusing on vehicle physics and character interaction exploits that appeared following the launch of the 267 km² Nasdara map.
Motorbike Physics and Technical Fixes
The primary focus of this update is the stabilization of motorbikes, which were introduced in the previous 1.86 update. Players reported significant collision issues where hitting small objects or driving across bridges would cause motorbikes to launch into the air. Update 1.87 corrects these physics behaviors to ensure more predictable vehicle handling.
- Vehicle Collision: Fixed an issue causing motorbikes to react violently to small world objects and bridge geometries.
- Lighting: Corrected the headlight configuration for motorbikes under internal tracker DZEXP-92.
- Audio: Restored missing sound effects for dogs when they are hit.
Survival and Interaction Adjustments
Several bugs affecting survival mechanics and world interactions have been resolved. A notable fix concerns environmental health hazards in the new map areas. Previously, water sourced from irrigation tunnels incorrectly caused cholera in characters; this has been patched to reflect intended water quality levels.
The update also addresses a significant interaction exploit identified under tracker T187421, which allowed players to perform actions regardless of their distance from the target object. Additionally, the interaction menu has been reordered (Tracker DZEXP-164) to prioritize the “Drink” action over “Wash Face” when both options are available at a water source.
Map Context
Update 1.87 serves as a hotfix for the 1.30 cycle, aimed at refining the experience following the introduction of the Nasdara map. These technical adjustments are intended to stabilize the server environment for players navigating the terrain of the map introduced in 1.86.
For more detailed technical tracking, players can refer to the official documentation on UpdateCrazy regarding the 1.30.1 build.
