maxotaur 135 Posted January 30, 2014 Sorry if this has already been answered, but i have been playing about 3 hours today and 3 hours yesterday, i have 10 clips of M4 ammo, lots of gear, a revolver which took me hours to find and a pistol which is already damaged, no clip for it but lots of rounds, i have lots and lots of food and water but i can't find a primary weapon, not even a shot gun, i was in the barracks at the NWAF when the server had just restarted, and i ran around looking quickly for a gun and i couldn't find one, not in the barracks, control tower or fire station, not even any attachments for it, besides an atlas bipod i found in a car. Is there a reason for this? I apologize if this has already been answered again, thanks for your time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Munchermanjz 36 Posted January 30, 2014 The spawn rates have been lowered, significantly, the M4 was too common so they made it harder to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jezza93 44 Posted January 30, 2014 M4 spawns have been reduced dramatically, I got lucky. A few days ago I died by glitch and a friend got my perfect M4,Thankfully he was willing to swap a Mosin with 2.5x scope I found. So now I am once again happy with my M4,ACOG and 580 rounds. But I know that if I lose it a second time,I won't get it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted January 30, 2014 They still seem to be relatively common in office buildings. Haven't found a magnum for a while (while .357 rounds are all over the place now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gungza 29 Posted January 30, 2014 I have no problems finding m4's, they are rare but still can be found. Long range scopes on the other hand, man, those things are like super rare now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faramon 66 Posted January 30, 2014 I like how rare they are now, all weapons seem fairly rare (actually I have found a fair few shotguns but they are new so I suspect the spawn rate is higher so we can test the f*** out of them?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

real meatshield 424 Posted January 30, 2014 Lowered spawn rates do not change the fact that chance has a lot to do with the loot drops. I was essentially fully kitted at the shipwreck yesterday when I started playing, and went from svetlo- krasno/ NEairstrip- NWAF. Along the way I saw 4 M4's and 2 Mosins, along with countless pistols and weapon accessories. This was also in a 30 man server that was essentially full, yet they were all apparently coastal residents because my northern trek yielded no contact and I saw no previously looted buildings. I saw one person, finally, at NWAF, who wisely maintained distance, yet for all I was hunting for (an upgraded ACOG) its likely he also found more loot than he needed.

worst2first 71 Posted January 30, 2014 They're still spawning. I've found them in office buildings (third floor center room with shelves) and in military barracks. I've also found several Magnums in military buildings. I haven't seen the FNX .45 or long-range scope though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
