gacsibeni 5 Posted February 16, 2015 Hello!Currently I'm on a mission of trying to make a ghillie suit. However, I don't really know where to exactly look for burlap sacks. I've made my way from Cherno to Kamenka and north from there towards Zelenogorsk, only to find 1 burlap sack in the industrial shacks of these premises. Is it only me, or are Burlap sacks this hard to find, or is it just bad luck? Where do you find your burlap sacks?Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krazypenguin 174 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) They can technically spawn in a lot of places but it feels to me like they are more common in out-buildings, like sheds, garages and small workshop type buildings. Basically, any rural building that's not a house - places like these: The best way to find lots of them is to stop wanting them - then you'll find them everywhere... ;-) Edited February 16, 2015 by krazypenguin 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nexventor 429 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) As above but get off the beaten track. Your hitting all the major towns, everyone wants burlaps, so you have to go the towns less visited. I found 7 tonight in about an hour and half on full 50 pop server. Edited February 16, 2015 by NexVentor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gacsibeni 5 Posted February 16, 2015 Well, I'm gonna check it soon, but when I alt-tabbed out to see the replies I might have gotten rekt, because when I alt-tabbed back to the game I was unconscious, so now I have to get decked out first.Damn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foolee 43 Posted February 16, 2015 They are hard enough to find. The other problem is anyone and everyone almost immediately picks them up when they see them. Burlap stips and protector cases are the going currency in DayZ. With those two items you can pretty much buy anything on the trading forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted February 16, 2015 Almost all my chars ( 4 or 5 now ) have impro courier bags and several stripes of burlaps. I wish i could Transfer them between the chars :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarcifer 102 Posted February 16, 2015 Besides the out buildings; check car wrecks. I seem to find them in Novo in the Wrecks quite frequently 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star-lord252 83 Posted February 16, 2015 The medium sized gray shed usually has them I have a ghillie gun wrap now after looking in these always check rural towns were most people don't go like staroye and myskino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gacsibeni 5 Posted February 16, 2015 The Novo car wreck hint is spot on. I immidiately found one on top of a red Skoda.I have found 3 in a 1-hour session: I spawned in Svetlo, so I took it up north. I found one in one of the rural villages that have no POI buildings in it, in the medium sized garage-like barn. I found the second while going to Svero in a small industrial building. I will check out the inland villages that nobody gives a shit about now, and will report back. Writing this from the Steam browser with my mosin pointing at the door in order not to get fked again.

There everywhere and no where lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) They can also often be found on the top floor of those 3 story town houses. This room with the shelves: It is also a great gun spawn location, and in my experience not a well known one, as I have often found guns up here when the rest of the town seems completely looted.

Krawallkurt 118 Posted February 16, 2015 Go inside a Barn and hop servers :rolleyes: .If you look in all the Barns on the pics you should need 2- 3 houres. Never took me longer to find all i need for Hood Wrap and Rag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B) This is my new mission! I find burlap sacks just about anywhere but the sheds are a likely source. Ghillie suit mission after next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted February 16, 2015 If Mogli to Kozlovka is considered safely off the beaten path, then I've been playing way to conservatively.Well, let's non-scientifically weight how likely you are to run into someone at each of those cities... all of those coastal towns I'd give a 5-10x more likelihood of someone hitting due to the PVP zerg fest going on between Elektro and Cherno (especially Elektro). Anyone who gets a spawn nearby there will hit those tiny coastal towns first before heading back into the PVP fray. I really don't think the average joe would spend the time to head inland first. Those towns I rarely see anyone, even on 35+ pop servers, I almost consider them safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasn't been an issue for a while, I have magical trees full of pants and bullets, and I try not to die on Tuesdays. I just always use extra care near those small town you mentioned, seems like a good place to do counter-banditry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
