Newest update dried up weapons and items?

[buzzburke 0]

Is it me or did i miss something (hadnt logged on for a while) that all the M4, FN45, and other weapons, attachments, and items/loot seems to be no where on the map anymore?

 

All i seem to find at any military base or anywhere for that matter is boots and crap.

 

did they just make all those items really ultra Rare to find and are trying to make it so much less common to find a decent weapon?

 

also i want an Mp5 to use in game, anyone have good luck finding common spawn locations for them?

Hmm, you seem to be late on info.

 

Since 0.45-0.46, the M4 and FNX only spawned at UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crash sites. Since 0.51, those crash sites have been changed to Bell UH-1Y "venom" helicopter crash sites, and they added the Steyr AUG and pistol grip shotgun to their possible weapon spawn.

 

You can find AKM, AK101, AK-74 and AKs-74u with their attachments in barracks at military bases.

 

There's lots of other weapons that were added and lot more weapon spawns in civilian locations and houses.

 

Anyway, if you want an M4, you need to look for these. Good hunting!

Aren't heli crash sites still bugged and completely invisible?

 

Or are they actually fixed now?

They are bugged. You need to join a server with persistence disabled as they are invisible on persistent servers.

Anytime!

The MP5 and it's mags spawn either at the police stations, or dynamic police car spawns. Again, those seem to be affected by the persistence and share the same bug as the heli crash sites.

 

And try to find a Nato suppressor for the M4 or AUG, or an Eastern suppressor for the AK101 or 74 family, as they currently work. Although the sound is only a place holder, and the infected don't seem to care what so ever about the sound of the weapon and will aggro anyway, they work like a charm as for "silencing" your weapon past 25-30 meters. The suppressors spawn only in teddy bears under the Christmas trees. They will probably be removed with trees and teddy bears, and added to the crash site loot tables with the 0.53 stable patch. Nato suppressors will probably spawn at the UH-1Y (smoking one) and East suppressor at the Mi-8. (pistol suppressors don't seem to spawn at all) Anyway, have fun!

is there a way to know if a server has persistence disabled or not?

add "off" to your filter. Most will say persistence off, other than that there is no way to tell. That helps narrow it down a bit.

And sometimes those that list themselves as "P: ON" will spawn visible crash sites - either because the server has been changed from the default "on" status and its title not updated, or because (perhaps) there is some evidence that crashes do spawn visibly on persistent servers immediately following the Wednesday wipe.

 

Either way, it's a tough and confusing time to be hunting crash sites.
