DMstratz 5 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) This is how to find an M4 extremely quickly and safely. Step 1: Find an empty server or one with low amounts of players.The Loot wont be taken on it.Step 2: The North takes to long, Balota airfield has barracks with good gear in it!Step 3: There may still be players here, but go to the Balota Control Tower. There should be Mountain Backpack (35 slots). Potentially some camo clothes aswell.Step 4: Go to the Barracks, if you are in a low pop. server its almost guarenteed to have n M4.Step 5: Stock up on ammo (this can be found throughout the airfield)Step 6: Take your fully geared character onto a full server and enjoy. This isnt for the taste of everyone as its very easy to get these weapons / items without a challenge.But its easy for sure. Edit: I'd rather they changed it, then no-one else can use this method to get the best gear (currently) instantly.. but if they add it into the game, there should be no complaints when people take advantage of it.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted December 19, 2013 They need to make loot spawns relative to current server population. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sobieski12 835 Posted December 19, 2013 If there was a rep system... Fuckin' minus 1. Actually this thread should get more attention, so the developers can understand how players are exploiting the game.* Thousands of players are doing exactly this and it's causing massive balance problems to many players. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sobieski12 835 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) They need to make loot spawns relative to current server population. While I thought this was the solution but there is a problem.* Items spawn once at server restart... right...* Server restart comes up and the server is 0/40 If rocket enables loot that continuously re-spawns then this system would work.

NuckFuts 265 Posted December 19, 2013 Ahhh, thats right! Show all them fire extinguisher wielding survivors out there how to become even more deadly! without having to venture to far from the coast! I know.. Why not show them how to find a gun. >:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kichilron 8550 Posted December 19, 2013 Advertising serverhopping. Nice.That's definitely not the reason it appears to be easy for you.I'm not surprised, as you're actively abusing a gamemechanic exploit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashjones86 8 Posted December 19, 2013 Or just play the game as its intended, find gear and survive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could simply have the items 'spawn' but not visibly on server restart and then as more people connect a higher percentage of the loot appears. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted December 19, 2013 Actually this thread should get more attention, so the developers can understand how players are exploiting the game.* Thousands of players are doing exactly this and it's causing massive balance problems to many players. And the devs were never aware of this problem at all :rolleyes: ....they already know the solution but they seem chicken out when they have to do a decisive step. Fuck the public hive go single server database, rent only no setting up the server how you want ( 24/7 day, loot leaking out of uranus ). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mzltv 2281 Posted December 19, 2013 Actually this thread should get more attention, so the developers can understand how players are exploiting the game.True, but at the same time, it advertises and teaches people who have never done it before how to.Double-edged sword.

CornProducts 315 Posted December 19, 2013 Let the kids have their Balota. It's kind of like a murderous day-care. While they are busy down there racking up kills to call in their killstreak attack heli the rest of us can loot and explore in peace up north. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weedz 1105 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) My first time playing I joined the fullest server, spawned in balota, and found 2 m4s in the first building I went into at the airfield. Had 3 clips for it by the 5th bldg. People don't know how to look for loot. Edited December 19, 2013 by Weedz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weedz 1105 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) thats just luck.2nd life; spawned in Kemenka, found 2 edible kiwis 2cans of beans and some other food in the first room I walked into, found a pistol upstairs. People are just looking for piles on floors still. Found a 80% full canteen in second bldg.Found food and drink first life too ...but this read is about guns not food hence why I posted about guns. ..not food. Again on 2 different 39/40 servers.

spliff (DayZ) 24 Posted December 19, 2013 This is a pretty lame technique. If you do this I think this might be the wrong game for you.. this exactly. cheating to have a good gun is so lame like using aimbots in cs/cod/bf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
