DayZ 2 + Badlands · How to read it
Sources and how to read them
Blogs first, thumbnails last
Short answer
dayz.com, Bohemia recap blogs, Unite coverage, Steam wishlist. Creator vlogs are color, not patch notes.
Secondary
KarmaKrew and creator Unite write-ups are useful for what was in the room. They are not Bohemia. If only one streamer said a feature, it is a rumor until a blog repeats it.
