plexico 386 Posted September 1, 2014 I think after 10 mins your body disappears and leaves just a pile of loot, and your gear doesn't go away until someone picks it up or the server restarts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnabus 1708 Posted September 1, 2014 I think after 10 mins your body disappears and leaves just a pile of loot, and your gear doesn't go away until someone picks it up or the server restarts.There is no "pile of loot", I wish there was a pile of loot, it all goes away unfortunately. I have made my way back to my body several times and it has all been gone, I even watched it disappear while I was fighting the zed that killed me, believe me there was no pile of loot. And that was in less than 10 min. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tamashii 10 Posted September 1, 2014 If you take the gear off the body and sit it on the ground it lasts a long time, but if it is on the body it will dissappear when the body does, im sure it lasts 5-10 mins, often you can run back to your body and get your gear back (depending on the circumstances reguarding death) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJFlint 357 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Dead body's stay for 10 minutes from what I seen. If your in a group and you die, one of your trusted friend's take your gear off, and set it off to the side and guard you gear til you are able to make it to where you died at...your good. If you do that then you just have to worry about a restart. I have pulled this off a few times, it works...if you group is holding ground and able to stay with your stuff. Its not to hard to do it. If your by your self your pretty much fucked unless you can reach your body in 10 minutes. If I die at the hands of another player palying solo, I pretty much would just write it off, that's why I try to not to die at all costs solo. If your were shot by another player, the odds of your stuff still being there is slim. Most KOS's are dicks, they quickly loot your dead body, some will kill you then hide your body...and even wait around for you to return and shot you again LOL seen it happen Here's whats really fucked up about DayZ, Much of the time if they don't get a good head shot in...and they shoot you multiple times....your gear is ruined when you die...So when die at the hands of a bandit or whom ever, its pretty much just for a kick or thrill for them or a rush...and that's it..nothing more nothing less. They don't get anything out of it really, nothing really. Yet it goes on all the time. Edited September 1, 2014 by CJFlint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When patch 0.49 is out of experimental and into stable is when we'll see persistence across all servers. So right now on 0.48 some servers are without persistence and the body and loot will disappear. On persistence servers they shouldn't.

This was actually on experimental in .48, sry should have made that more clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd stash my ruck before entering a danger area or if I were bleeding out and unable to bandage. Then I could usually get back before server restart and I was golden.

I said persistence will be on all servers in 0.49 as stated in the status report. Which is still in experimental. We are in 0.48 and persistence is only on a few servers.

Rags! 1966 Posted September 1, 2014 If you kill a person and you look at their gun, you can loot just their gun and it will show all the items that the player was wearing, even though the body itself is gone. #justdayzthings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FREDDIEkillz 18 Posted September 1, 2014 When you die, your body stays on the floor with everything on it. Some of the items might get ruined depending on where you got shot. Someone can come up to it and loot your body and then hide it so that no one will be able to loot it anymore. The body disappears within 10 minutes but if someone is in the vicinity, it can stay there for as long as the person is around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
