Th3mandalorian (DayZ) 7 Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Hey guys! Im fairly new here. I was reading the forum a lot last year when i was watching dayz lets plays on youtube waiting for the standalone.Thats why now, after watching so many vids im not a "100%" noob. And know how to play. But... The lootable buildings. Sometimes I can play for one hour without finding any loot. When i see an open door to a house it instantly means - someone was here, dont waste your time.But some other time i can find good loot like weapons, cans etc. But could you tell me what can i expect raiding NORMAL buildings? I dont mean like police station/barracks/supermarket. I mean normal houses. Is there a chance to find a can opener in them or a flask? Or i have to raid a superstore? For the moment i found cloths and cans and rotten fruits in normal one story buildings. Thx! Edited December 20, 2013 by Th3mandalorian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tegla (DayZ) 112 Posted December 20, 2013 You don't need a can opener anymore, you can open cans with any sharp object as of last patch. The thing is, loot spawning is bugged now in a way that loot only spawns after server restart (once every 4 hours). Most of the coastline is probably looted by fresh spawns therefore. Try heading inland, i have no trouble finding loot in every house up north Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khad (DayZ) 293 Posted December 20, 2013 In my opinion, the civil-loot is really random and don't work proper for the moment. But there're announcements, that the loot-system will change.I'm looking forward to a realistic loot-solution like food in fridges, can openers near the cupboards and clothing in the wardrobe.

Th3mandalorian (DayZ) 7 Posted December 20, 2013 I know i dont need can opener. For the moment i use a knife. But its for another playthrough...The servers restart every 4 hours? Good to know... Is there a message in the chat box telling about the restart? And Tegla, I know to head North ;) Its the first thing i do. I open a chernarus+ map i look where i am and i head to a mid north town to resupply, then ->barracks -> airport -> City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the meantime, you can pretend that the people living in the houses were in a rush to escape and grab supplies, whick ended up in a few things being scattered all over the place :) edit I know i dont need can opener.

Not sure about the message, haven't seen it yeat. There should be some kind of a warning i believe.There is a chernarus + map? Oh boy, now i feel dumb looking at the old one and wondering where did i make a wrong turn :P Edited December 20, 2013 by Tegla 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Th3mandalorian (DayZ) 7 Posted December 20, 2013 The map is the same (roads) but the buildings in the cities and location of some military bases has change. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
