I went to the prison expecting an Aladdins cave...

[Shiva_O 10]

Instead, all I got was hypothermia, 400 pairs of pants, 200 pairs of ttsko jackets, 20 plate carriers and some t-shirts.

 

I went onto the gangway at the top of the main building, and you couldnt see any of the metal, it was just a huge trail of clothes, probably about 60-70 different items.

 

Is it worth staying? I was on a low pop server, but is there combat around there? Spent 2 days getting here, dunno if i should stay.

 

The only good thing is i came across an obvious cheater/server hopper in cherno.

 

I ran down the road along the coast, and just saw the roof of the small jail building that always spawns tons of loot on it's doorstep. I thought i'd take a quick look, and I needed a drink.

 

He thought he was safe, because there was only 4 people in the server. Couldnt believe it when I turned round the concrete wall and he was stood there, 15ft away with his back to me.

 

He got a full mag of PM75.

 

He had 3 of those yellow boxes, all smersh gear, green sks, two AK74's, and about 500 rounds of AK and SKS ammo combined. Even if he wasnt a hopper/glitcher, I bet he was pissed :lol:

Two days getting to prison island? Did you crawl there? Lol

The jail is only good for a few items right now. Plate Carriers if  you want one but the pouches and holster do not spawn there. Pants... maybe some basic gear. 

 

 

The easiest way to find constant action and combat is to play BF3, COD, or some game designed for constant combat, not a survival game with combat in it. ;)

I'm just going to assume this was on Stable right? I visited the prison with some friends and we found some pretty neat stuff, and unlike Mercules above me says, we found pouches there (Found the holster later at a military base though)

[Avant-Garde 229]

I like the prison tbh, lovely place. I usually close all the doors and hang out there for a while, has such a different feel from the rest of Chernarus, the artist who did it is very talented in my opinion and I would really like to see places with more complex interiors like the prison, maybe a scary ass Psychiatric hospital. Also prison outfit looks *gorgeous* on my survivor so totally worth it, I always end up going there.

 

Now that you can make fire without any matches I have absolute zero problems going and getting back from there.

 

But I wish I could find at least a shotgun you know, I'm not even asking for AKs here lol. Pump action shotgun and I'm a happy man.

I've been playing experimental for a better part of two weeks. When I started first thing I did was get a canteen and go over there. Testing loot functions I did server hop and I stayed in prison island for days. Best loot was a Tortilla backpack and PM73 RAK complete with 25 round mag. That was with days of server hop, never leaving island, and only playing about 30 minutes at a time. Come .58 in 2 days, loot will be dynamically spread. Go where nobody goes to consistently find civilian loot. (food, tools, civ weapons). Police cars and heli crashes are the most reliable for non-civ weapons and gear.

Correct, I only play stable.

[KandyCid 30]

plate carriers you say!  B) been looking for this :thumbsup:

[Conrad_The_Comrade 577]

Correct, I only play stable.

Alrighty, well fear not, the loot economy is gonna change a lot once .58 is pushed to Stable (This Wednesday I think)

In 0.58,  prison island is a place where nothing of interest spawns. Thers is a barrack but its always empty. Its a bit sad that they made it a pointless place.

Ehm maybe it's temporary? The new enterable guard buildings won't spawn loot either because they had the lootsplosions that have to be fixed. After they sort out the stuffs and things prison island will probably spawn loot normally.

[Killawife 599]

Maybe. It was more fun when there was a lot of guns and clothes though. They could make some boats though so you don't have to swim.

You just said exactly what I was thinking. I wish I could give you a whole truckload of beans.

I agree as well - plus it's impossible to find enough ammo for constant action now anyway since the guard buildings are no longer loot pinatas. Well, maybe if you're really good at tracking people down and head shotting them... but even then you're going to spend a lot of time tracking geared people to do that. People need to kick back and relax, survive, and take encounters that make sense rather than attack everything that moves.

Don't bother in .58, there's pretty much nothing there at all.
