Well thanks for your help, it was worth looking into. I guess im going to have to keep hitting up hospitals frequently until i get stashed back up.

Right, I usually only play on regular dayz hive servers, and usually stick around in the same server for several weeks at a time, and at any point in time have 3-4 servers i like and get good ping on. as far as i know the servers ive been playing on have all been vanilla, no mods. and over the course of the last several months when i was playing, i was seeing an incredible amount of loot everywhere. and then suddenly a patch hit back in october that made things seem to chill out with the spawns. i was mostly ok with it becase my character has been survival ready for ages. plenty of food, water, guns and ammo. until 3 weeks ago i didnt need to actually go into town except to get blood bags and other general medical supplies. after making a trip into berezino for the hospital, i found mothing but 3-4 tin cans, 2 bandages, and a couple morphine injectors. i cleared out the loot, and then waited for the stuff to respawn, and only got more cans. I switched servers, and did this on 2 other servers, yielding nothing but cans and bandages. This is when i stopped playing waiting for another update. i see that something changed with the loot, but couldnt find any explaination as to what. I am continuing playing, but still on a never ending search for blood bags it seems.

I have been playing off and on again for a year or so, and i have been doing just fine in the looting sense. About a month ago, i thought the loot on any particular server was getting outrageous (as in being able to find 8 guns in the balota military tents, and just generally tons of loot everywhere). I was a little glad when i saw that there wasnt as much loot laying around anymore, but ultimately didnt know anything about the new loot spawns. I ultimately thought it was broken when running around as a new character and couldnt find anything along some of the more remote ares of the coast, not even a can of beans. i kept playing, having made it to cherno and found some food and water, but no weapons, which i was fine with. I then traveled up to stary and berezino, checking the good military spawns, and not finding a single gun. This is when i stopped playing, waiting for another patch. I started playing again last night, finding a new update, and the same low spawn rates. I got one answer on the server i was on about a time based loot spawn, but couldnt get anything else. so i searched google for some vague terms. couldnt find anything. so i searched youtube real quick but stopped after nine out of ten videos were about hacks. and now im here. TL;DR- I'm bambi again and don't know how the loot spawns work. help please?

After a couple days of stealing busses and tractors, i found a couple different sniper rifles. including an m107 tws, which i thought was bugged from the get go because it did not have a portrait when it was equipped. too afraid of making noise, i did not try to fire the weapon. i decided to go with the as50 as i didnt want to have my inventory bug out and get erased. the next time i logged in i was expecting "my" new tractor to be gone, but it was not. having the time to think about it more and talking to other friends, i decided to but the m107 tws into my backpack and keep my akm ready to fire. noticing that we were the only ones on the server, i tried to fire the m107 and i could not interact with it in any way. is this gun bugged or hacked in somehow, or was it removed at some point. just looking for a definitive answer here, sorry if it was posted somewhere else, there are major sections of the forums that i cannot access for whatever reason.
