A complete guide to loot on .57 (Work in progress)

[tandwan 250]

So I am going to do a loot list of what i've found and where. I know people have found things places and have found loot in random areas but I am more concerned about where I find it and where it's going to spawn. So this will be a basic (or not) guide to everything I find in DayZ and where it comes from:

 

College building : (This is the large three story building in Elektro that has research rooms, an open bottom area and what looks like a basketball court) - Mostly hunter pants here, I have yet to find anything in regards to clothing tops but there will always be hunter pants spawning here in abundance. I have found other clothing here, random things like raincoats and jackets but they're random and rare and I feel they were left by players.

 

Gaurd shack / entrance shack : (http://img.dayzdb.com/img/buildings/land_mil_guardhouse.jpg) - This seems to be the high end military loot spawn since barracks are dry. You can find everything that would normally spawn at barracks coming up here so I won't go into detail. I have even found some rare gems like 300 rd. ammo boxes and AK-47's.  These loot spawns should be a first priority over going to a barracks because these will contain everything military you could want.

 

Destroyed BMP : (http://img.dayzdb.com/img/buildings/land_bmp2_wrecked.jpg) - While I have found quite a bit of loot around these one that always strikes me as true will be the one near Vybor military base. This is the base located at 045070 and while it has three barracks and a police station I will often as not completely bypass the barracks or go there last for this loot gem on the west side. Of all the destroyed BMP I have seen in this game this one is an absolute treasure where I have found AK scopes, SKS, AK-47 and even the rare landmine. This spot actually outshines the rest of the compound which usually carries a few stoves, sometimes magazines for makarovs and what not. Don't forget on the eastern side there will be a Guard shack worth checking as well.

 

Chopper crashes - There are three, and they are static however they do shift slightly. These three chopper crashes will vary from what type they are to where they are placed however they will always spawn in the following general areas below. The problem with these chopper crashes is they are almost always looted and there are people who watch the clock and login directly on a server restart to check these crash sites. It used to be these chopper crashes spawned loot on a long cycle but this doesn't seem to the case anymore as they will always spawn new loot on a server restart. I usually log out at a chopper crash when I know a server restart is coming and then kill the server hoppers for a good 15 minutes then move in to loot. This usually nets me the good gear and all the server hoppers gear as well.

 

023 051 - West of Lopatino in a fairly open field. You should see an industrial building to the north if you are in the right spot.

 

062 069 - North of Stary Sabor. This is an open field again with very little cover. There should be a farm building to the west if you are in the right location.

 

040 073 -  Southeast of Vybor. Open field with sparse cover. Bushes all around and Vybor military should be directly northeast if you are in the right location.

 

Prison Island : 027 140 - The prison island is your one stop shop for all clothing military. I have found random weapons but they are very, very rare. The prison island will always have various sorted military clothing that you can get such as Orel Uniforms, TTSKO uniforms, Gorka uniforms, Police Uniforms, Prisoner Outfits and rarely some varied common clothing. You will still find handcuffs, stun batons and other items here but they are rare. I have seen weapons spawn here but they are extremely rare and hard to find.

 

There will always be more to come, however if you are looking for a specific piece of loot then please post below and I will do my best to go out and confirm it. I play on a very low population server and I do my own lists of what spawns where so if you are looking for help, i'm willing. Thank you.

Well, what's up with all the guides?

I'm certain people can figure it out eventually.

the "college" as you call it can spawn the m65 jacket.

I've found that some loot that spawns at various locations has changed since .57 stable was first released.   Spawn rates as well.  For example, I used to find MP5Ks and RAKs at cop shops all the time, now they seem to be really rare.  Further, I'm pretty sure they can change spawns on the fly, with the new CLE.

 

That all said,  Tanks, Humvees, Military building front steps, and Deer Stands are good for weapons.

Agreed. We saw this week that nails have been added to the spawn cycle. I don't think they were there the first week of .57. 

 

@OP: if you are truly able to kill the guys looting the choppers, you will never need another loot spot.

But as seen in some videos showcasing the new nail bats, incorporating new items on the fly is not alpha-proof. But when it's working properly, I hope to see more improvised items and other goodies added more regularly than they have been thus far.
