New on Xbox and desparate for pliers

[TayAI 2]

hi, I'm new and playing on Xbox official servers. I've been trying to find pliers now for two weeks, and it's limiting my enjoyment now, all I can do is search and store some loot in a barrel I managed to hide. Does anyone know a sure fire place, or maybe have a spare? I'm online most every day (EU time zones).

Thanks!

Lol, I find them all the time and don't need them! Typical of the dayz gods. But next time I'm on, if I find some I'll  message you. Hopefully you'll have found some before then though! 

I'm guessing you've looked in the usual places, sheds, garages, industrial buildings etc.

final update: after some digging I found how I can improve my chances, considerably it seems. My hideout and barrel collection 🙂 are currently adjacent to a city ("Town" according to the game files at https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Central-Economy/blob/master/dayzOffline.enoch/db/types.xml

Pliers are limited to Industrial, Farm and Village. So, I have to focus on sheds etc. in Villages instead of the Town I am almost entirely scavenging in... They don't have a Tier assigned (I think this is limited to Weapons) meaning any village from the coast to the north west should be good.

See excerpt below for the Pliers entry:

<type name="Pliers">

<category name="tools"/>

Wish me luck!
