LawsOfFire 21 Posted October 28, 2012 You won't lose your gear by swimming, it was changed quite a while ago.i think its up to the server owner. i would guess regular servers usually have it off. so find a low-pop reg server and try to swim. if the gear falls of. pick it up and try a new server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hawc 63 Posted October 30, 2012 well since the release of the latest patch you don't lose items in the water anymore thankfully, though if some admins have the ability to change those options it would be private hives onlyIt's a server setting just like 3rd person so any server admin can change it.

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted October 30, 2012 It's a server setting just like 3rd person so any server admin can change it.hmmm in that case i would suggest using another server to get to the island then hop back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
