dayy 173 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi my bud and I found an M4A1 with a prisitne acog and 60 round clip :) Would return it, but we love it now, and you'll have to fight for it back... Point of this post: We were on a low pop server, and were looting Elektro. My bud was scrounging the pub when we came across that beauty in the bedroom in back :) There was no body, sooo either somone left it 'highly doubt' or it somehow spawned there. Anyone else found something similar or heard of this??? Is it a new spawn...Or something else... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 680 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) It's an unfortunate bug in the game currently. Someone logged out in that spot and intentionally or unintentionally "exploited" the bug. Doing so placed the weapon at his feet where he logged out. You came along later and found it. Don't ask about the dupe bug because it shouldn't be discussed on the forums. That would just lead to unwanted proliferation of a problem that is already widespread. Edited March 12, 2014 by Dagwood 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvsilverwing 241 Posted March 12, 2014 People who loot on low pop servers are annoying.Why? Because the only kills you can get are poorly geared players while camping loot spawns on a high pop? You should recognize not everyone wants PvP encounters everytime they go out to loot and respect that they want to play the game a different way than you instead of bitching. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted March 12, 2014 It was probably a guy carrying 2 primaries, one in hand and one on back.. I won't say why on one of the reasons, because it has to do with an exploit of sorts, but that may explain it. Also aside from the exploitish factor, he may have just dropped while eating or something and did not realize it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing on a low pop loot up and then switching to a high pop server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
over9000nukez 199 Posted March 12, 2014 someone duped it by accident, when you have a gun in your hands and on your back it lays the gun from your hands on the ground. when they log back in they will still have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dusty_nuttles 130 Posted March 12, 2014 People who loot on low pop servers are annoying. Your annoying. Like who's going to loot on a 50/50 and expect to find anything. Its called brain power. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funyun 15 Posted March 12, 2014 Where else are you supposed to loot basic gear, it's all gone in 5 mins on the high pop servers... Since is takes way longer than 5min to run across the map, that is simply impossible. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagwood 680 Posted March 12, 2014 I have lost any shred of faith that I had left for this forum's community. I say, "let's not explain how to exploit the game with the weapon dupe. Doing so will only make the problem worse". And then 4 people after me do just that...And then more people in the same thread argue that looting low population servers is the only way to find loot... With a public hive, privately operated servers, and a community that always chooses the fast and easy route to "success", this game is doomed. Unless the devs start actually implementing some anti-game features and content that make the easy route improbable, dayz will forever be an MMOGTA woodland expansion. I hate the immaturity that has taken over this forum since the release of the dayz SA. Rant complete. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your game gets popular expect a ton of shitty people to play. Also the dupe has been around for a whole month now people know about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I won't say why on one of the reasons, because it has to do with an exploit of sorts, but that may explain it. Also aside from the exploitish factor, he may have just dropped while eating or something and did not realize it. If I find another rifle that I have ammo for, I'll take it into hand and load it. OK, so I have to drop it to use something else, but it's an extra weapon. It will remain at my feet after log-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Where else are you supposed to loot basic gear, it's all gone in 5 mins on the high pop servers... No it's not. We play medium (20) to high (40) pop and hours after restarts we are still finding stuff. Not just hats, M4's, Sks, Mosin, Pistols, food, backpacks, vests etc. I have never found a fully looted server..ever.

Try heading northwest to find that the military camps haven't even been touched. Nobody seems to bother with Green mountain either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Facetentacles 92 Posted March 13, 2014 Maybe the guy found a different gun in there and, like myself, doesn't like carrying around 2 guns. Run speed too slow. I've found mosins in that exact room before, and if I had a LRS with me and some mosin ammo I'd drop that m4 in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point of this post: We were on a low pop server, and were looting Elektro. My bud was scrounging the pub when we came across that beauty in the bedroom in back :) There was no body, sooo either somone left it 'highly doubt' or it somehow spawned there. Anyone else found something similar or heard of this??? Is it a new spawn...Or something else... Most likely a server hopper who duped his gun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrelist 236 Posted March 13, 2014 I found a multicamo Mosin with the LRS in one of the Elektro flats recently. I guess this explains it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valadain 270 Posted March 13, 2014 So... Not that I don't get the inherent unfairness of looting up a low population server while others are trying to loot on high population servers, but my question is how low population servers will ever get to be high population servers if nobody joins them? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solodude23 649 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) So... Not that I don't get the inherent unfairness of looting up a low population server while others are trying to loot on high population servers, but my question is how low population servers will ever get to be high population servers if nobody joins them?There's no need to fill up empty servers if the more populated servers are not full. Never have I found myself in a predicament where I've HAD to join a low-pop server. If the demand jumps fast, servers fill up fast. The main point is - there's no point to be on a low pop server unless you're testing. Gearing up on a low-pop server is besides the point of the game anyway, especially in its current state.

Bando13204 2 Posted March 13, 2014 This thread is getting pretty off topic... There are threads for bugs and exploits. And I'm sure there are threads for whining about people who choose to play on low pop servers. Although how they annoy you or affect you in anyway is beyond me. As for op no I would assume that someone dropped for any of the previously stated reasons. Congrats and enjoy :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
