Boogiewoogie 0 Posted March 16, 2014 So I was exploring this empty non-looted server all by myself when I ran across this shotgun. I decided to saw it off and had to find a hacksaw, which turned out not to be that easy. I'm 100% serious when I tell you that I searched every house, every flat, every hospital / fire station and every shed in the entire city of Elektro, AND i later ran down to Kamyshovo with no success. The server was empty and unlooted. In my search I ran across over 6 weapons, a couple of bipods and a scope, but not a single hacksaw. So my question is, WHERE THE HECK DID ALL THE HACKSAWS GO? Has anyone else experienced the lack of hacksaws around? /A very upset shotgun-less man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone else experienced the lack of hacksaws around? /A very upset shotgun-less man. there is something weird with the loot tables.. for example.. i found 1 protector case in a firestation in elektro, i bet my mates there would be at least 1 more in the other one.. and there were 2 more. so, if you find 1 item, there will be more. If you have trouble finding an item but find a lot of other stuff, it is not one of the items in the random generated loot table for that part of the server.. wait for a restart, or go to another big city. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StoutAle 69 Posted March 17, 2014 Loot tables are quirky, never know when something is going to be elusive so I carried a hacksaw around for like a week before I found a shotgun. Of course I found enough hacksaws at that time I could have built a house from them just not the shotgun. Murphy lives in DayZ just like real life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iBane 381 Posted March 17, 2014 I always have the sawed-off disappear out of my backpack when I re-log (experimental and stable branches). Anyone else have this happen to them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jex 1104 Posted March 17, 2014 4th rule of Dayz.....expect to find every fucking thing thinkable EXCEPT the thing you want. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess Dookie 35 Posted March 17, 2014 I've seen them in many buildings actually; they are quite rare. Consider going to Svetlo and look around in there. I have found them in the dark orange building, fire stations, markets, 2 story green houses, apartments; Random but rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maxotaur 135 Posted March 17, 2014 For a time, i was lacking hacksaws too but you seem to find them when u arent looking for them, a good place to find them is the jail house upstairs, but also, every industrial style house spawns them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
