BulletCatcher (DayZ) 7 Posted June 28, 2012 It's probably just my imagination but I am starting to think that the spawn lists change depending on what gear you are carrying. I'm sure we have all experienced a moment when we are in desperate need of a particular item only to be unable to find it no matter where we search but this phenomenon seems to have been taken to an extreme during my latest playthrough. I have only been playing for about a week so I am still learning as I go but a few examples of what I have encountered recently are... I newly spawn close to Cherno and proceed to search the town. I find a 1911 in the very first place I enter but over the next hour only find 1 magazine of ammo for it. In the process of searching I do come across over a dozen Markov (sp?) mags but no Markov. I also find ammunition for several other weapons but never come across any of those either. As I am leaving town I finally find a Markov so I decide to go back and pick up some of the plethora of ammo I have seen for it. As luck would have it I can no longer find any ammo for it but I do find 4 1911 mags that weren't there before.Since I first started playing I have seen animal roaming the countryside and forests quite regularly. I have always left them alone as I have never found a box of matches so their meat did me no good just to carry around. Today I finally found some matches. Since then I have not seen a single animal though I have made my way across half the map north of Cherno. These are just a couple of examples andby themselves mean nothing but my suspicions are growing. Maybe it's just paranoia from playing too much lately. Note... this is not a complaint. I enjoy a challenge and this mod has provided me with several of those. I am just curious if this is an intentional game mechanic or bad luck on my part.

schmotto 32 Posted June 28, 2012 haha, feels like it sometimes, but no In honesty I don't think so.Little tip, at the moment if you have revolver ammo you can right click on it in your inventory and change it into 1911 ammo and vice versa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSexyGoat 5 Posted June 28, 2012 I've experienced that. I was finding revolver ammo like crazy and as soon as I picked the revolver up I coulnd't find a single clip. It's actually really weird, but I don't think it's supposed to be like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unyaro (DayZ) 4 Posted June 28, 2012 Makarov clips are much more common then M1911 clips as far as I've seen, M1911 is a much rarer find compared to Makarov as well.My current playthrough I've found 15 makarovs, 1 G17, about 20 variants of AKs(AKM included), a ghillie suit, 15 different shotguns.... no M1911.
