Irish. 4886 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Im just wondering what everyone's experience is as far as best places to find an ACOG.. its the one thing I cant seem to find really anywhere. I've seen doubles of so many other rare items back to back in buildings... but no ACOG. (btw, the 3 door small garages 'garaz' I think is the placeholder name is the best place to find PU scopes from what I have seen) So any helpful advice?.. I know where they spawn, and will just keep checking all the spots. But maybe someone can say they routinely find them here. Maybe not. Worth a shot Edited February 20, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth a shotTry the improvised 2 story bunkers near airstrips, they tend to get passed over by server hoppers, aside from hitting up hangars after a server reset its your best bet. Its also in my experience a lot less dangerous to take a pass at them and run like hell than to search the hangars. Good cover for approach and exit, as apposed to being totally exposed to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to take a pot shot at anyone who steps on the tarmac.

savini 587 Posted February 20, 2014 I've found a couple in the tents by Balota. Last I heard though, the loot spawns for those tents aren't working currently. I could be wrong though. I've also found a couple at the very top of the ATC tower on the airfields. It's pretty high risk standing on the roof though. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Zealous 12 Posted February 20, 2014 I think that it is partly just luck whether you find the more rare items. I have seen several ACOG's but until last night I had never seen a long range scope. Then last night I saw three of them at NWAF. I had seriously gone over 100hrs without seeing a single one. It took everything I had not to be a greedy bastard and take all of them for myself! I really shouldnt have even taken the one I did since I dont actually plan on using it. I was just so excited :blush: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that's not always true, but it is true often enough that I refuse to leave them behind, hence my collection across hardcore and regular of 7 or is it 8 LRSs, I really need to run up north and dump them in a bush again.

Mullraugh 1151 Posted February 20, 2014 I find the Military Hangars at all the airfields are extremely good places to find Weapon Attachments for the M4. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I find the Military Hangars at all the airfields are extremely good places to find Weapon Attachments for the M4. Same here.. they seem to be the best so far. Truth is I dont really need an ACOG, but its literally the one thing I dont have. Fully geared to the teeth.. but its like my end game now, LOL :) Edited February 20, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullraugh 1151 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) haha. I reached that point and said "well.. this is boring". So I went down to the coast and gave some newspawn my stuff. I later found out he was killing newspawns with it, so I cut his head off with a hatchet and took it all back :/ Edited February 20, 2014 by mullraugh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are probably right. But I dont want to deny someone the chance of finding there first LRS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The jails, that used to be the tec buildings? Im lost on that descriptionIn the tent camps north of the NWAF and at Balota, bunkers with a top floor draped in camo net, they still spawn loot. As many as 3 military loot items per spawn including LRS's M4's and all M4 components. The only weapons attachments I have never found in them are the sights and suppressor for the FNX tho I believe they can spawn there as well. Spawns may also be occupied by high end clothing, food/drink, ammo or ammo boxes Edited February 20, 2014 by Franchi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soulfirez 901 Posted February 20, 2014 Best luck i've had is in the hangers at North West Airfieldyeah good spot to find them just a dangerous one those hangers are easy sniping i know my favorite sport when i am bored is set up there in a small guard tower lay down and shoot server hoppers who just pop up in them ( walk in i hold my fire just blink in and its click boom ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its beautiful the way they all stop to see if its pristine, allowing the snipers a perfect shot. Edited February 20, 2014 by Franchi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mareak 50 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) oh very nice! I thought they were all barren of loot so I ignored them altogether. Thanks man! :D Tent still empty of loot after the recent patch. If you want the LRS, you can find one in barracks or hangar and it take some luck to get one. As it is rare now.
