Deer stands

First of all, they aren't fucking deer stands goddammit. The Russian military doesn't hunt deer. Whatever >.>

Anyway: "Deer stands" are literally EVERYWHERE in the game; giving them good loot would be stupid.

Most arsey post for no reason goes to.....

I thought the OP's point was fair, the deer stands (they are deer stands btw, that's what the game calls them) currently spawn literally trash and are close to pointless for checking, those no one ever does. I personally thought the whole point of them was to give players a chance to find some other loot apart from the the primary hotspots and add some interest to the other areas of the map aside from Cherno/Elektro/Stary and the airfields. That IMO is a good thing, if people think they can find a half decent rifle at Deer Stand you will see more people going to them adding more interesting PvP elements out in the middle of nowhere which will add to the game.

They are also not literally everywhere. Ignoring the 4 at Balota which are really part of a military camp there are by my count about 55. To get a CZ you would have to visit each one like 20 times on average! If you also look at the map you will notice that are hardly any near Cherno or Elektro and very few near either airfield. I don't think that is by accident they are supposed to encourage people to visit other areas of the map to loot not get drawn to the big cities ALL the time. The greatest concentration of them are by the Kamenka spawns.

No one is saying that they should easily spawn all these high grade weapons easily but there should at least be a reason to make the trek to them, currently there isn't. The loot table changes in the new patch make them a bit more worthwhile.

Christ I hope that was sarcasm if not you are a grade A moron because guess what? THEY ARE DEER STANDS (or more correctly deer hides).

As for the OP I wouldnt go as far as saying they are useless, especially if you are a new spawn and need everything you can get. True I havent seen any military weapons spawn since the patch but I have picked up some AK and DMR mags from them since the patch. Saying that though unless im desparate for some military magazines I generally cba to check them.
