DayZ developer Bohemia Interactive plans to release a new patch, fixing some of the pesky issues that plague the current alpha state of the game.

Dean Hall, head of the DayZ development process, made a post on the DayZ forums informing players what to expect in the next game update.

The list is quite extensive, but among the most notable features will be solving an issue regarding backpack nesting that currently allows players to have infinite inventories, and the addition of a hacksaw and shotgun to the weapon roster.

“This build is being tested on experimental branch, and contains a number of fixes and changes that have been in preparation for the last two weeks. Please note that we do not expect that this build will be quickly posted to stable branch as we anticipate at least one more update will occur to Experimental prior to being pushed to stable,” Hall said.

The patch is scheduled for January 20.
