Niner 27 Posted February 10, 2014 Just the other day I was doing a long play through and decided to test my bravery, so I went to Bolota airfield for teh lolz, every door seemed to be open, and I managed to get through the whole airfield without being shot. In total, I found a hunting backpack, 3 forty round magazines, two ten round magazines, and then I came across a fully equipped M4? It had an Acog, Mp butt stock, bipod, tac rail, and suppressor, is this a normal spawn? Or did someone just throw it down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragor69 12 Posted February 10, 2014 it will have been swapped out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannynickelov 126 Posted February 10, 2014 Was it painted tan/green? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerrocK (DayZ) 39 Posted February 10, 2014 yeah like who would want an M4 at its current state? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niner 27 Posted February 10, 2014 Was it painted tan/green? It was not painted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niner 27 Posted February 10, 2014 it will have been swapped out I was just curious because who would swap out a M4 with all those attachments? My small squad we prefer to have at least one man with an M4, I would have at least taken it and carried whatever he/she may have swapped it for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corto 34 Posted February 10, 2014 You probably found my M4 outside the brig building in Balota after I got killed by some guys hiding in the bushes. I know the guys who killed me didn't take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This one was dropped inside the barracks next too two forty round, grey magazines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
real meatshield 424 Posted February 10, 2014 could have been left as bait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corto 34 Posted February 10, 2014 What where the chances you actually stumbled upon my M4. Next time I'll be sure to add a "hehe" at the end of the sentence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat 131 Posted February 10, 2014 It could have been cloned/duped, has happened to me quite a lot lately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rybo 171 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Someone was carrying two weapons. When you do you have to keep the second in your hands. Anytime you want to eat or switch weapons etc you have to set it on the ground. Now add in game crashes and such finding a fully kitted Mosin or M4 is not uncommon in the most commonly looted areas. ie. Bandit grounds (Air Fields/Elektro-Bolota/Berinzeno/beach). My group has found 2 or 3 so far in Bolota alone. Mostly on the very top of the A-Tac-Tower. A favorite noob sniper spot. I figure they ended up getting caught swapping weapons and tried to log-out under fire from another player. Edited February 10, 2014 by RyBo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes when you swap weapons just to check the other one, the weapon you put in the floor dissapears (oddly) just for you. But the rest (by this i mean "you") can find it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BossFi 90 Posted February 10, 2014 Because you sit down at log out, you can't hold a weapon so the 2nd weapon your holding in your hands drops to the ground, because you already have one on your back. That's why its there, some one logged out in the barracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyT 554 Posted February 10, 2014 Might have been left behind when the player logged out if he had two long arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so it was all my fault.....I goofed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illville502 44 Posted February 10, 2014 Might have been left behind when the player logged out if he had two long arms. Nah I logged out yesterday with a m4 on my back and a sks in my hands and signed back on later with both on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowless_m3rk 2 Posted February 10, 2014 I fill backpacks with loot all the time and just leave them in open places its like my little gift to my fellow survivors who are to cowardly or I'll equip to make it to a base 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twizzm 34 Posted February 10, 2014 If it was hidden in a spot someone would likely log out, it was a dupe. Not gonna say how but if you read the dev bug reports it pretty much says step by step. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when you left, you left the SKS behind. Someone else entering the place would have found it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish the person luck finding it in a wall. It would be hard to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted February 10, 2014 It is an error that was introduced at the last patch. WHen your character sits down to wait out the 30 second timer, for whatever reason he drops the gun on the gound. It remains after he disappears and is freely available for anyone to pick up.
