Balota no longer spawns tac vests/certain gear?

[exomonkeyman 103]

Been to balota lots and lots and i can NEVER get a tac vest anymore? Are they more rare or do they spawn only in certain airfields now?

 

Cheers

I havent seen one in a while. Hopefully they make all armor rare ;)

[MysticL 71]

tactical vest do not provide armor, btw

[exomonkeyman 103]

Were do you find them?

[deewd22 32]

Think they it out of the game until it's fixed. The Model didn't fit the character properly and could cause bugs while beeing prone and using a scope.

I put this into my Thread in Gallery however this is relevant to the conversation.

In the video I find the Press vest and it reveals the building it always spawns at.

 

obviously it is not there all the time however I am sure if someone server hopped they would find one quickly.

Darn. Looks like you're going to have to leave the coast! (what a shame)

I never go to Balota now. Not that it was high on my list of places to visit in the mod but in the SA anyone with a decent scope has a direct line from the new tower blocks at Chapa, it's nothing but a duck shoot.

Oh no... too late already at an airfield. Anyway the coat is fun. Many people to save shoot and well... most people hang around there. It's more fun, why go miles out to a place with only two barracks + towwers and a station when at the coat you get 3 barracks + towers + tents. I mean there are no stashes out there near the airfield. I'm guessing tax vest there just more rare now.

 

Still looking.

The point is to go explore the map rather than hang around on the coast and murder people all day long

[exomonkeyman 103]

I'm not sure what the interaction is between arma 3 bohemia and the DayZ team but i noticed in arma 3 the tac vest is used there to.

 

Maybe that's the reason why DayZ dev team took it out ):

But when did you find it?

 

Found two yesterday on experimental branch.  Military base SE of Vybor, not Balota.  

[Window Licker 504]

Don't know about bolota but they are at NEAF and NWAF plus the random mil outpost's around the map on the experimental guess they are fixed and ready to go back in.

[Sencha 100]

Can anyone confirm that the tactical vest is still in the stable release? I have only found UK assault vests so far. It's been ages since I saw a tactical vest.

I'm sure the server has restarted since then, but you'll find a press vest where I picked one up ;)

[Leo Balzac 190]

They're still there.

[cptavpr0metheus 14]

They're still there.

Stable or test? Proof?

[Krawallkurt 118]

Does OP mean the Tac vest or the Ballistic Vest? 

Tac is still droping in Firestations and Baracs all over the place.

Ballistic is not in game atm!Except for the Press Vest.

It doesn't spawn at the moment. I challenge ANYONE to provide a screenshot within the last few weeks of them finding a Tactical Vest. I have server-hopped like a mother trying to find one. I know where they used to spawn, but they just don't spawn now. The same goes for the claims of people finding the Riders Jacket on stable.

 

If someone can do that, I will humbly admit their eliteness.

somebody said press vest ???
