Not to be outdone by the announcement that DayZ is coming to the PS4, SOE has detailed some new details on H1Z1, also finally confirming that the game is indeed coming to the PS4.
Airdrops will provide survivors with ammunition, food, water, weapons and other supplies. These aren’t free supplies being handed out by a group such as the Red Cross or anything either: they are purchased via the in-game store.
Players will need to pay the organization providing the supplier money – and watch out – your payment can be in vain as other players will be able to see the planes and supply drops. This means they can snatch it before you get to it and there is no assurance the drop will land near you.
SOE boss John Smedley stated on reddit a few months ago the supply drops would be along the lines of The Hunger Games: “a mad rush for supplies followed by a tense standoff.”
“Basically think of it as instant chaos,” he said. “How is there anything flying? A few pilots manage to scrounge together enough fuel to make these runs.” H1Z1 is coming to PC and PlayStation 4, with an Early Access release coming to PC soon.
