Where the heck is the long range scope?

[yorkmorgan 191]

I've clocked in over 100 hours and never seen one, looted fresh airfields, barracks, piano houses... WHERE ARE THEY??

Dude You can find them in barracks quite easily I found one just today check under beds in barracks is where I found mine

[Toby2k3 10]

I've personally seen them in hangars and air traffic control towers.

Thanks. maybe the dayz gods are just not in my favour...

[Gunslinger63 27]

I found mine in a hanger on the NE airfield . 

[Knock (DayZ) 111]

I'm personally wishing I could find a Pristine or worn PU scope... I never find them in good condition anymore now that I actually have a use for them.

[ASDF991 8]

freshly restarted server, NE airfield  ATC and the 2 hangers = easy to get one.

[raezion420 97]

Don't feel bad they hate me too, I've cleared so many airfields and everything over the past couple weeks since they were made rare and haven't found one that spawned. I don't server hop I just usually do the berezino, shipwreck, NEAF, loop when I die. Resulting in tons of gear, sooo many weapons, I find PU scopes a lot, but no long range.

 

Only one I found was off someone I killed.

on me, seriously i passed 4 up and have 3 in my pack right now. going to dump them in the woods. look in barracks, and hangars.

Where are all the LRSs?

 

Well they used to be here, in my backpack,

But now they are rotting under some random bush in the far north.

 

Sorry snipers you no can have.

 

Actually I'm not sorry HA HAHAHAHAH!!!

The LRS, ACOG, M4 Silencer, FNX Silencer, MRD, and RIS spawn frequencies have diminished greatly.  I seem to run across the PU, Mosen Compensator & Bipod at a slightly higher rate and the weapons flashlights seem almost common at times. Not to make lite of your luck, but I picked up a PU in pristine condition just this morning in a garage.  I don't have a use for the PU just now, but I couldn't leave it there ya know? 

 

I'm not a hopper, so I can't say if any given server change improves the odds. I've circled the map many times but typically move from Svet head West to NEAF, to Kras, Gvoz, Grish then on to NWAF, might catch the little military base too. Then off to  Vybor and then head South down to Povlo and then backtrack all over again up North and then East to Svet.  I like to stay North as you can tell.

 

For a PU, the best places to look are the garages imho.  Actually, not just my opinion, but based on my experience.  If you have a M4 Silencer, we could possibly work something out.  However patience seems to be the best, most rewarding aspect of the game.  I was looking for morphine over the course of a week+ to give to the medical team since broken legs had spiked and only found one.  In the past 24 hours I've found four of them...

 

Good luck!

That actually represents a few weeks worth of surviving and hitting the NWAF after the noon reset (no one on then) every other day or so on my hardcore character.

 

Server hoping you could probably do that in a few hours.

 

Here is how I see it:

 

Never leave a LRS behind, it will only fall into the hands of a recently deceased server hopping KOS sniper who upon finding it will immediately head back to the coast to kill freshspawns to work of his/her rage at being killed by a freshspawn so he/she can get back to the business of killing freshspawns while clear headed.

This guy is obviously looting them from nighttime servers. Look at how gamma-corrected that image is.

Good call!

LOL true, my favorite hardcore server is night time most of the time.

[Super_Duty 466]

Yep, same thing here. Though I catch the early shift, 6:00am resets before heading into the office.  Early worm as some say.  Nothing like a nice quiet stroll around Chernarus on a sunny morning.

It seems to me you either need to server hop or be very lucky... I have about 120 hours in game and have hit numerous military bases (many ((seemingly)) unlooted) and I've never seen one. :(

 

I refuse to server hop mil bases, but damn it would be nice to find one one day!

Your mom's house lolololololoooleelellelelelelelel

 

Seriously though, start exploring the rest of the map instead of hopping airfields and certain buildings.  You'll be surprised what you can find and where.

More like copying items over and over - known exploit with weapons. 

[Mr Sinister 167]

Found mine in one of the hangers on the NW airfield, didnt spot it at first, those things are too big to have one item at the back of them, ha :). But, it was there for me.

Shhhhhh dude, you know how many people look in the door then move on, it's like a hidden treasure trove back there.

 

edit; from what I can tell, the spawn rate drop's again on experimental and the mosin dmg has been nerfed, expect 2-3 shot to kill instead of one.
