Sorry but what? By farming one would assume you mean loot cycling or server hopping or some other shady tactics.

If you are asking how hard is to get the best equip now, then it depends.

 

Was on NWA last night, somebody already went through it, so I did not find AKM of any type.

Still there were several SKS rifles,  tactical vests, pistols and crazy ammount of AKM magazines. Found like 10 in total, 2x drums and also few mags for AK101.

 

Before going to NWA I found just shotgun and Blazer (twice) and some pistols.

So maybe the answer is, that it is a bit harder to gear up, but maybe it just depends on your luck.

 

Still there seemed to be too much stuff at NWA to be honest.

Depends but definitely trying to farm for anything like a High Capacity vest or Press vest is a real pain right now.

Idk what the developers are going to do to combat this kind of metagame thinking in regards to loot. People are even server hopping to find supposedly random heli crashes.

I guess a balance between the previous experimental's loot scarcity and the current stable branch's over abundance of loot combined with te new loot respawning mechanic would be a start. Loot is still far too abundant
