We have a bunch of AK101 fully tricked out they're not the problem, the M4 is the one that can't be found!

Honestly I've just about lost all hope. 5+ guys playing hard post hotfix and not a single one of us has found an m4 spawned. Has anyone found one post hotfix?

With the bipod its usable and good overall. Without bipod good luck

Put in a ton of hour on 0.58 on exp and a group of us has put in a ton of hours on 0.58 stable, but 100s of heli crashes we have found nothing but AUGs and UMPs. The only spot any of us has ever found an m4/ak 101 is in the officers barracks. Can anyone confirm these two guns do in fact spawn at heli's?

Like I said, when this was a bug on experimental 0.58 it was whipping ALL loot spawned in the towns as well. Since I've yet to once see this happen on live, I'd assume it's fixed. My camp is within the range that was getting whipped on experimental and on live it's been completely fine.

This was a bug on the experimental version of 0.58, heli's & poilce cars despawning would wipe everything within a certain radius (camps, normal loot in town, etc.). They said it would be fixed prior to 0.58 going to live, since all the towns that had little to no loot on test are now full of loot constantly, I believe it was fixed.

Has anyone refueled a V3S on 0.58 stable yet? The refueling was bugged from containers on 0.58 experimental, hoping it got fixed.

I'm not sure why who ever posted about the heli radius's didn't also include police cars, but they should have and lets hope the devs include them in the fix for dynamic despawn events.

I can't remember if it was in this thread or reddit but I know someone else responded to this saying that barrels and tents are persistent, however they have an in game lifespan of X days unless they are picked up and put back down. I want to say it was 45 days of day z days, but Im not positive. So unless you empty the tent or barrel, pick it up into your hands, put it back down they will by default disappear. I could be wrong on this, just passing on what I read somewhere else.

SVD does spawn with a scope on it, found it at a russian heli within the past week, just lucky I made two passes around it because I missed it on the first one!

You might be on to something with this. It would explain the constant presence of loot in the towns north of the NW airfield (From severo and west of it) because they lack cop car spawns. It would also explain the complete lack of loot in towns such as stary/vybor/pustoshka/zelenogorsk/etc that have a bunch of cop car spawns. Yet in other towns south of the airfield (that lack police car spawns), it wouldn't explain the non existence of loot, unless the radius of the dynamic event despawn is insanely big and it's a result of heli spawns. Any thoughts on the bigger portion of my post regarding full loot on one server and essentially no loot on every other server after a restart (or is that would that still be from a dynamic despawn event from prior to the restart)?

I have somewhat of a grasp on what the loot system is supposed to be and yet I feel like I'm completely lost. After the server restart I figured I hop to see what difference in servers at a particular location after a restart. Hoping Stary Sober this is what I found and dont understand why I found what I found: 1 server had full loot in tents and town (this time and one other time in the past I've logged into this server and found guns spawned in the tents, the other 100s of times i've been there on various and this server nothing)1 server had low loot spawn in the tents and town 8 servers had essentially NO LOOT spawned what so ever (an item here and and item there at most)Can anyone explain why this is? Is the CLE still just completely screwed up? I've noticed that north of the airfeild, pretty much every town has a ton of loot when I get there, south of the airfeild there little to loot when I come in. I did test what someone had described earlier in the thread, that the loot re spawn is based upon your time spent in the vicinity of the spawn point. I made 3 laps around a police car spawn in Novaya, aprx a one block radius, and each time there was more or previously unspawned loot at the cop car and each building I entered.

Didn't believe the SVD existed, missed it the first time around the chopper, glad I made a second SVD SVD (been a long time since I posted images in a forum, coudn't get the it working right so I just linked it, apologies)

Just stand around with my thumb up ass while someone or a zombie kills me? I don't think so! Again, I am log'd into the server, everything can see me, I just can't see the actual game......it sits on the black screen.
