[slyrez 0]

hey im getting the hang of dayz. i love the game. i just dont know how to loot. first what does the icon with the bullets mean and what does the icon with the gun with the arrows around it mean. i was playing yesterday and i came across a dead body. a good one! he had military clothing and an m4 rifle. i opened the loot menu and it only showed empty cans? i didnt see a gun on him anywhere or any ammo. ive heard people say use the scroll wheel. How do you use the scroll wheel in looting and how to you loot everything. thanks.

ok, im just gonna give you a run down on how exactly to loot what you want.

so if you come upon a gunwith arrows circling it, its symbolizing that you have something to swap out for an example if your inventory is full it will show te symbol and usually say pick up ____ drop ____

a gun just means its lootable

scroll til you see "gear" and clic on it it wil open yourgear and it will show the loot with a (1) nextto it, you clck on the arrow pointingtowards your gear, and it will put it in your inventor

Sometimes if there are two loot piles close together one takes precedence over the other, regardless of the observer's direction or angle of approach. This is particularly true if there's a backpack in the pile. To solve the issue, just pick up all the trash and drop it "over a bit". Once that's done, you ought to be able to retrieve the item(s) that you expect to find.

Hope this helps, ac
