Tents and Vehicles

[Hobobian 0]

Somebody told me that the gear in Tents and vehicles will get reset when server reset happens. Is that true or false?

[Macenzie 79]

False, our tents have been fine.

Sometimes if you are unlucky and the tents do not save properly before a server crash you may loose the contents

[U.B.C.S. Ravin 326]

False. Sometimes they will disappear, if they do simply re-restart the server. Should correct the issue.

Ok thank you, Is this also for a vehicle?

[Doug (DayZ) 0]

True, contents of tents will sometimes disappear. Usually after the first server restart after placing the tent(s). It's hit or miss.

[syncmaster (DayZ) 63]

Which is safer, tents or cars?

[Doug (DayZ) 0]

They are both pretty unsafe. Don't get attached to your gear, you will loose it.

[U.B.C.S. Ravin 326]

What Doug said, don't get attached to gear. x3

[syncmaster (DayZ) 63]

Of course not, never get attached to your gear.

I just always wondered if one was better than the other. It still never hurts to increase your odds right.

Edit: Also, I read that items in backpacks (in Vehicles) get deleted with every server restart. Maybe someone got confused?

[U.B.C.S. Ravin 326]

I would say tents are far more stable. Cars are far more liable in PVP, but make you a pretty big target for other bandits.

Really, the choice is yours. I use both, make sure you always hit 'Save' before you log out or a server restarts. Youll lose whatever is inside the vehicle or tents.
