Antibiotics are too rare.

[B1rd_of_H3rmes 12]

I have looted 3 hospitals and 4 medical tents in my short time playing DayZ, and not once have I found antibiotics. I have been sick twice, first from a wound, then from being cold (I didn`t know I was until I started coughing). I get quite pissed of when I risk my life going into Cherno and don`t find any after an hour of proning through the city. To cut this a bit short, I think antibiotics should be more common, and in the medical boxes in the hospitals. It should be quite easy to do in the next patch if everyone shares the same opinion?

They don't often spawn in medical boxes, they'll spawn on the floor with a blood bag and morphine or something and they are hard to see in the piles, I have found them often.

Very rare indeed, I have search and farmed for these, to no avail!

Antibiotics are being made more common in the next patch; bad news is that infection chance from contact with zombies is going up by a factor of twenty.

The game is supposed to be hard, enjoy the struggle ;)

eB, I know that they spawn on the floor not in the boxes. I`m glad to hear that they are becoming more common, even if the infection chance goes up. I`ll just hoard 3-4 in my backpack :)

They're common rare. I have a tendency to find them way more than I need them, but that's due to frequenting high value military spawns. And unless they changed the behavior of boxes, they never spawn in boxes, only in ground loot piles.

Now matches ... shit. I can never find matches when I need them, but once I have them they're everywhere. The random number gods are a cruel and capricious lot.

Do you really need Antibiotics? NEVER had a cold on any other map than Namalsk, and lets face it guys, you spawn with a cold on Namalsk.

I have never had an illness so never had to look for them - must be luck I suppose

I do see them about, Never at hospital's but seen them at barracks and deer stands before - might have been dropped by other players

[Marmoo 32]

Ah yes

Only just noticed that

Well spotted

I've found maybe 3 at their spawns in several months and countless visits to hospitals and med tents. I've only gotten sick once but I actually had antibiotics at the time. Yay.

Never caught a cold on Namalsk despite all the firefights on and around Nitija and Saraja, maybe you're your playing wrong.
