For those having trouble finding tents

[SentencedToBurn 39]

Me and few of my mates spent a couple of nights searching for tents and the two tents that I found were in the same room (albeit different buildings) and on the same floor. Here is where I found mine just in case anyone else is struggling to find one:

 

- Go to Cherno, Novoselky or Dubky

- Go to any tall apartment building (the one where you have to climb up the ladder first)

- Once you get off the ladder go up 1 set of stairs

- Enter the 2nd apartment from the left like here:

 

And it might be in this room here - the other time I foudn it in this same room it was sitting on top of the bed:

it also spawns on balcony, its luck bra :D

It spawns all over the place in those apartments.

I'm gonna try to revive this thread.

Can someone confirm that tents spawn all over the place in the tall apartments?
I've spent 417 hours of playing DayZ SA, never seen a single tent! Damn!

My team [FroBad] will be releasing a tent hunting tutorial soon. 

 

They spawn throughout the large tenements. Check balconies and even the roofs!

Got it.

Subscribed.

Waiting.

They spawn all through the building. Check everything, not just the rooms where OP found it

You mean only the tallest building? Should I search the 5-level houses too?

Well, supposedly they spawn in the smaller ones, but I have never had luck in them myself.

They do spawn in the smaller ones as well, but its a waste of time to search them as they have way less spawn locations than the large ones.

Just go to Dubky or a similar complex of tall apartment buildings and search floor by floor, room by room. It is tedious, but you will find the tent eventually.

 

I personally like Dubky for this, as it has 6(i think) buildings right next to eachother, and you can cross to the next one through the roof

Yes, in any room in the ghetto like, tall apartment building. Have to go through every room, every floor, in all of those type of buildings for 1 tent.

But the tent holds 100 slots and is cool as sh!t.

[saamohod 45]

do the tents spawn in deer stands?

If you are searching persistent servers Novoselky/Chapaevsk have a lower chance at being looted in my experience.

Confirmed.  Logged out in one of these buildings in Chapaevsk yesterday, then saw this later in the day.  Spawned in today and the first thing I found was a tent.
