TheSneakySpy 1 Posted June 23, 2012 I've ran around the coast into a few houses and barns, and have found no melee or guns around. I also explored Elektro a bit, and i wouldn't find a gun in any of the few main spawns, since i just started playing today, my first gun was a makrov with no ammo i looted off a poor guys body who got sniped right next to me :( After that i have found no more weapons, but plenty of shotgun shells. It took me 4 hours to find a gun, and it wasn't even in a loot pile, have gun spawns been decreased, or am i doing it wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castle (DayZ) 23 Posted June 23, 2012 Gun spawns haven't seemed decreased to me. The loot rebalancing however made crashed helis have asstons of guns every time.I just went through quite a few lives today, the only time I didn't find a gun absolutely nothing was spawning except this hatchet I found, which I used to kill a guy with a gun (as he killed me unfortunately).

VFR 41 Posted June 23, 2012 Try getting away from the coast. Imagine spawning 20 people/hour looting the few places. Once you are 10-15 minutes into the mainland, you should be able to find quite some guns. I never understood the people going right to Cherno/Elektro right after spawn, those cities are deathtraps. On the other hand, you have not much to lose, so I guess it's a valid tactic. I for one always ran into the woods right after spawn, and I usually end up with an AKM, Alice, all the basic tools for hunting etc. within 2-3 hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gopblin 0 Posted June 23, 2012 If you run into e.g. Cherno you can end up with a gun and all the basic equipment in 20 minutes. The downside is that you can end up sniped.Best wishes,Daniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rowrin 2 Posted June 23, 2012 what version / beta patch are you guys running and are you noticing a lot of chemlights or some other object?I'm in the big NW military airfield and finding nothing also. My only reason for heading there was because I was finding so little down by the coast and cherno as well. Just tons of chemlights and bottles.i've basically found a m4 in like 7-8 hours played. I have a 1911 that i found on the way there (to the airfield) but not finding any ammo for it other than .45 acp every rare now and then and converting them.i'm on 1.7.1.5 running 93965 beta launching through steam.

There was only like 5 people in the server so we were able to just wander around each of these towns looting as we pleased.We found a total of four guns (makarov, g17, m4a1, AKM) and we checked every place there is to check in all those places.

TheSneakySpy 1 Posted June 23, 2012 Now i am afraid to log into my server for fear of losing my precious makrov. Oh how times have changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
