Duping is back! But this is also why: Posted every single day. Answered every single day. If you are on console and duping has returned , then that is the #1 reason. If not duping, then this situation is inevitable on console and pc. Short answer. Some items are rare, on purpose, and spawn in limited quantities. Long answer: All items that spawn have: LIFETIME on the ground RESTOCK timer until placed into the spawn queue. MIN/MAX(NOMINAL) before any respawn is done. Once its at max, no more will spawn . When it hits min, more are put into a queue to spawn in an appropriate place. QUANTMIN/MAX are for items with capacity like water bottles, canteens, mags, etc Flags to decide what to count (can be IN_CARGO, IN_HOARDER, IN_MAP, IN_PLAYER) Also flags for crafted and DYNAMIC EVENTS (deloot/heli crash) Spawn Location - class of buildings/location (Military, Police, Farm, Village, Town, Hunting, School, Industrial, Medic, Firefighter, Prison, Coast)(floor, shelves), and tiers (1,2,3,4) Tier 1 is the SE coast and tier 4 is the NW woods. I don't know the exact dividing lines, but you get the idea. Gun/MAX/HeliCrash? [Spawn Locations] BK-18(IZH18)/100 [Farm, Town, Village, Hunting - Tier 1,2] BK-133 (MP133) /100 [Police, Farm, Village, Hunting - Tier 1,2,3] CR-61 Skorpion(CZ61)/30 [Police] CR-527(CZ527)/50 [Farm, Village, Hunting - Tier 2,3,4] KA101(AK101)/5 [Military - Tier 4] KA74(AK74)/10 [Military - Tier 2,3,4] KAM(AKM)/10 [Military - Tier 3,4] LAR (FAL)/4/Y [Military - Tier4] M4/10 [Military - Tier 3,4] M70 Tundra(Winchester70)/15, [Hunting - Tier 2,3,4]] Mosin/70 [Town, Village, Hunting - Tier 2,3] SG5-K (MP5K)/20 [Military - Tier 1,2] SKS/30 [Military - Tier 2,3] USG-45 (UMP45)/20 [Military - Tier 2,3] VSD (SVD)/4/Y [Military - Tier 4] VSS/3/Y [Military] [I believe the HeliCrash weapons only spawn there, but the loot table entries have other notations I left in for completeness] The loot state is not affected by a server restart. In general, the low end weapons are counted on the ground(which is basically what's spawned at that moment). Some weapons (KA74, KAM, M4A1) are counted in storage/cargo/map, but not players and some (KA101,LAR,VSD/VSS) are counted on players too . It makes them all relatively rare, on purpose. The best gun is the one you have.

I will agree with you, but it can also happen if the game kicks you too. In my opinion I don't think they will get rid of the restart because it helps the spawning of items. No restart would me very few items.

I have put thought into how duping can be mitigated. After playing since launch i have noticed that people by nature want to dupe the best stuff (mainly weapons) my proposed solution is to make it so any Rifle (M4/MOSIN/AK... ETC) prohibit people from putting these things in any container. have it so these weapons can only be picked up and placed on the shoulders - no backpack, tent, sea chest. that should allow the spawning of the weapons to still be organic and not be counted against as it would only be on players.
