I see them pretty often in the little brown jeep-type vehicles that are scattered around military bases and cities. I also see them outside of the small building that spawns all the loot on the steps. It seems to be some sort of military building with an office and a bathroom in it. I've been having a lot more luck looting military vehicles around the bases rather than the buildings, as the buildings don't seem to spawn much nowadays.

I think NEAF has 2 APCs, a Humvee, and 4 of the small brown military trucks that all spawn AKMs. I've only been to NWAF once briefly since the recent patch and didn't spend much time looting there, but I've heard others say that there's not much loot there since the patch. I could be wrong about that though. Right now cars, military vehicles and police stations seem to be the best places to loot. I've seen a lot of good stuff in all civilian buildings as well but not many guns in them.

I've seen several the past few days on the APCs and little brown open-top military trucks around military bases and a few other places. NEAF is a good place to check. You might be safer just looking for one there rather than risking what you have to some rando who might shoot you rather than trade with you. They really aren't that hard to find. I've seen quite a bit of ammo and 75 round drum mags as well.

I listed it under off-topic because it's not especially important and in my mind, unimportant things go in the off-topic section. If I'm wrong, Admins please feel free to relocate this thread. Not a big deal really. As for the gasoline I'd say there is a fair chance he drank it. Is there a way to check whether it's water or gasoline in a container? Unless he was clever enough to drag the container onto the chainsaw to see if it gave him the refueling option.

To the guy who shot me in the back as I ran out of the Gorka police station last night, I hope you drank that gasoline in my PET bottle. If you didn't, enjoy my chainsaw because I carried that thing for HOURS searching for gas for it and only got to slice up one zombie with it before you took it from me. Seriously though, I'm not upset because I found an AK and drum mag within two minutes of respawning. I'm just really curious to know if you drank that gas in my PET bottle, thinking it was water.

I probably best fit the Neutral Friendly category. Once or twice I set out to murder people but that was more of just an experiment. I'm typically friendly towards everyone I meet unless they show hostility. I like to get very well geared and carry as much loot as I can then search for people so I can give the stuff away. I also take big risks. I don't usually bother being all tactical and paranoid. I put myself in harms way quite a bit for the sake of helping others and entertaining myself, which is usually what gets me killed.

Completely understandable, though it doesn't justify elitist vets being douchebags to anyone who doesn't want exactly what they do. I don't want this game to be anything like CoD, but I also don't want to fight a horde of zombies with naught but my fists. I lean more towards the pve side myself, but for the sake of fairness, it would probably be best to have a more diverse game than just "lets run from zombies until our lungs burst if we don't starve first." If people wanna fight zombies, bring hoards of zombies. If they wanna pvp, give them tacticool stuff to search for. If they wanna play the cowboy way, give them firepits and repeaters. There's room for all, and devs seem to be doing the best they can to satisfy everyone. That's what makes this game great, the freedom to play however you like. If you want to move away from player interaction, then there is really no point to DayZ even being an online game. As OP said, they have offline zombie games already.

Found tons of 30 round mags for MP5 in every police station I've been to. Also found the actual gun itself in the 3rd station I checked. Saw a RAK and it's corresponding mag in a police station a few nights ago. Found an AK-74 sitting on top of a ruined APC at NEAF a few days ago. Also found tons of ammo, AK-74 mag and an AKM mag in and around other vehicles at NEAF. I've checked tons of civilian buildings and haven't seen many guns at all, but plentiful ammo. Besides a few locations I'd say guns are pretty rare presently. On a separate note, I haven't seen too many axes besides a hatchet. I hope they make them more common as they are pretty important for many things.

Oh I agree with you about not wanting strictly another pvp game. I'm into the whole survival sim thing as well. I think the game has managed to be a good outlet for many playstyles. Survival sim, pvp, pve, rp, social experiment, etc. I think it would detract from the overall experience of the diverse player base if the devs were to focus solely on fighting zombies and eating berries. Just not really diggin the holier than thou attitude some veteran players seem to have.

No need to be a jerk about it, my friend. I've noticed on other threads you're pretty quick to attack people who don't want exactly what you want out of the game. The guy is just voicing his opinion. He's saying he wants them implemented in a challenging yet not impossible to deal with sort of way. Seems reasonable. I think he's also referring to this small, smug, elitist group of players developing on the forums who tear into anyone who doesn't want a death-by-zombie simulator. Personally, I'm pretty happy and impressed with the development of the game but I don't expect it to be made exactly how I think it should be and you probably shouldn't either. Just relax man, I'm sure it'll be a great game and most of us will enjoy it.

I had a drum mag equipped on my AK and it disappeared as soon as I logged on yesterday. I had a banana as well and it didn't disappear. Also found a second banana at NEAF yesterday so they are still spawning.

This would make a good public awareness firearm safety video. Seems like a commercial I would've seen on shitty local TV in the 90's.

I like the pew pew noises.

While the new zombies have problems, I think the difficulty in dealing with them is being a bit overblown on the forums. They certainly are more difficult. I can't dodge them as effectively by dancing around them. They don't move like robots anymore. Looks much better. I played all afternoon, looting small to medium sized towns. Even made a trip to the NE airfield. Never had more than two of them on me at a time, and I killed all but two of them with a fire axe. It does take 3-4 hits from the fire axe to kill them now. Either they nerfed the axe or buffed the zombies. They did beat the hell out of me when I had to deal with more than one at a time. Oddly enough, as much as I was pummeled, the only articles of clothing that took any damage were pants and shoes, both ruined. I was wearing a plate carrier so that may have protected me and my jacket from taking damage. From what I've seen, it seems that the best strategy is to head inland off the coast immediately after spawning and start looting small villages. I actually saw a ton of military clothing and vests and such in civilian buildings. Like a high-cap vest spawning on a civilian car. I saw fewer guns than I normally do in civilian areas but besides that I quite like the changes to the loot economy. For anyone having problems I'd suggest heading inland and staying away from larger cities.

Kind of an anticlimax but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
