In the zombie MMO H1Z1 two important new features are set to be added in the coming weeks: female characters and grenades.
H1Z1 is currently in an exciting phase as the developers are gradually implementing their announced plans. And there is certainly no shortage of ideas and features that have been promised. Last week saw the introduction of bees, before that handcuffs and makeshift armor crafted from duct tape.
Next up, as studio head John Smedley tweets, are “grenades” on the menu. They are set to be introduced into the game this week, likely on Thursday. Last week, the first throwable weapons were introduced with Molotov cocktails.
And the weapons master responsible for such things, Jimmy Whisenhunt, delivers the appropriate video:
In the coming weeks, Smedley tweets, they plan to introduce “female models”; right now everyone looks the same. They hope to have it ready by the end of next week, which would likely be April 30.
hoping to get the female model into H1Z1 in the next 2 weeks. trying for late next week.

And you should also be able to become a zombie
According to the H1Z1 roadmap, the virus that gives the game its name is also set to find its way into the game on April 23, surely another important addition for the game. Infected players are expected to develop a sort of zombie sense, take on certain powers, until they ultimately succumb to the virus and resurrect as a zombie. The zombie can then no longer be controlled by the player. At least that was already indicated in earlier announcements by the developers from September 2014.
By the way, a “Quality of Life” patch is planned for May 7. No new features are set to come, as they want to focus on improving the existing elements. Recently, Thursday at 12:00 PM our time was “patch day”, so one can expect the same on April 23.
