timedance 120 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Yo yo :D I only have 1 question regarding my gear, that I have...For expample, lets say... - before I go into cherno or electro(or going into a dangerous situation), I lay down all my gear(hidden in bush)How long will it lay there? (I mean in the case, that nobody finds it...) The idea behind my action is, when I will be shootin down in electro or cherno by sniper etc.... - I respawn and can collect my gear ^^ ...?

rossums 2190 Posted September 13, 2013 nice :DYep, sometimes it's useful to stick items in your bag and hide it while venturing into some of the more dangerous areas.It means if you do actually get killed the nasty bandit won't get a hold of your gear - there is always a chance that another player may find it though so don't leave it for too long :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bludy 324 Posted September 13, 2013 and to avoid it sinks underground i suggest you to leave your stuff in a lootpile..but nowadays it's simple since when you drink/eat canned products you create a lootpile usually accessible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jex 1104 Posted September 13, 2013 Until the server restarts. Is this accurate - I've seen things disappear in front of my eyes before but on different mods of Dayz, not vanilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted September 13, 2013 Is this accurate - I've seen things disappear in front of my eyes before but on different mods of Dayz, not vanilla.Some stuff can glitch out and get completely removed from the world or appear underground when dropped.And items spawned by the loot-system can sometimes refresh even though you're right next to them.* *May not be applicable to variations of the DayZ mod.

BigChef 55 Posted September 13, 2013 Don't drop items while on a raised platform, second story room or on a roof...many things disappear this way.However even the ground isn't safe, like Bludy said, drink a soda and put your gear on the empty can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.Ender. 42 Posted September 14, 2013 just make sure you note the coordinates of where you dropped the loot. It makes it easier for the rest of us to help you locate it incase you forgot where you set it down :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bludy 324 Posted September 14, 2013 server restart time is accurate imo..objects disappearing just sink or go in a near lootpile..even when you put something in a full tent or in a bag, you can find it sometimes in a 3m radius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
