AK 101 mags sure are uncommon...

[Ransurian 23]

Maybe it's just misfortune on my part, but it seems as though AK 101 mags are much more uncommon than AKM drum / box mags. I server hopped through at least eight or so empty servers and didn't find a single magazine in Balota, although I did find enough AKM ammo / mags to start a small war. That's pretty ridiculous. :/

Hate to be that guy but... Server hopping karma can be a biotch :)

[Katana67 2907]

Well, for one, I think magazines should be spawning empty. More or less always.

 

But, try the jails and barracks (I suspect this is where you're trying already). I haven't found any AKM magazines other than, oddly, the 75 rounder in these buildings as of late. Whereas I've found at least five AK-101 mags.

Hating me with all your guts doesn't have a great deal to do with the abysmal spawn rate of AK 101 mags. I'd imagine players that don't server hop are having a relatively tough time finding any ammunition at all.  :P

New loot respawn system should encourage loot farming on one server instead of server hopping.

I've tried jails, barracks, the air control tower, and the tents in Balota on countless empty servers. Again, maybe it's just breathtakingly bad luck on my part.

 

Shame, since I wanted to test my AK 101 out with a few full-auto sprays.

And so did at least 100 players before you.

 

"Empty" servers are prime target by server hoppers. They might by empty or have 1-2 players on them but there is 10 server hoppers logging out and in ever minute.

Not during off hours. Generally speaking, closed barracks doors are a good indicator that the area hasn't been server hopped.

Well, Balota ranks pretty high on the spectrum of frequently visited high-value locations.

 

Try Zelenogorsk. Out of all of the barracks/jail locations, I'd say it's the least frequented.

 

Not that I encourage server hopping. But yeah.

Do the full path of the warrior. You will have more fun and find more stuff.

[stielhandgranate 480]

You think thats bad? Try using the damn thing when your mags run dry and there is no loose 5.56 anymore.

[kakysas666 191]

if you are in hardcore struggling with 101 mags, I can help you out. I am in balota now myself. PM me, give you a couple of mags.

Sounds trustworthy enough to me. Incidentally, I'd be more than happy to "give" you some of my ammunition, as well. It's unfortunate that your benevolent soul plays on hardcore, though, because I'm usually on normal servers.  ;)

no. I actually get tons of ak 101 mags just lying around. just empty em and throw em back down. Dont server hop and maybe you could check other places than one military base. bugger

[Grimey Rick 3417]

You'll want to hit Pavlovo's military base. I've had the most luck finding both AK-101 magazines and AKM drums there. They tend to spawn mostly in barracks. I've found the odd AK-101 magazines in jail buildings, though. Never an ATC or hangar.

Nah, I was serious, it's easy for me to get more 101 magazines. I ditched my ak101 in babycore for dat m4 with magic mag :)

I thought the M4 was removed from the game due to hacking, confirmed by Rocket 100% no doubt?

Not really, I never let a single door opened. I'm sure I'm not the only one

Found 2 AK 101 mags in one balota loot run with my buddies the other day. And I don't hate you. Just pity. Like I pity players that need to hack to get enjoyment out of a game.

The gun is rather uncommon anyways considering it uses Nato Rounds Rather than the standard Russian ones for AK's.

 

It also hits WAY more accurate than the AKM.

Go to military base. Get inside barracks and prisons and pick up everything you see. Drop it outside. Go back inside and watch the magic..

Am I the only one that still has a tricked out M4?

Try looking in the back of UAZ jeeps, I find them there more often than anywhere else.
