Monkah 0 Posted July 12, 2012 So I fell in the water by the docks of Elektro because it was pitch black and I wandered off the side. I've been trying to search the forums, and thought I saw mention of recovering said pack. Is that possible? I tried to view the thread but can't because of the recent forum updates.

jetao2008@hotmail.com 175 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Dude i'm sad to tell you this but i'm pretty sure you won't get it back.A lot of people lost all kinds of gear in the last patch and nothing could be done about it.I think you'll probably need to find another back pack.This happened to me sometimes but not in the water, i dropped the bag while trying to trade it for another one and my previous one disappeared, several times.But anyway, i believe you'll find another one pretty soon :) Edited July 12, 2012 by Fenrig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkah 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Well, the good news is I found everything I needed between the supermarket, the school, and the hospital in Elektro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sephka (DayZ) 51 Posted July 12, 2012 You can only get your gear after losing it in water if you lost it in a shallow area I believe. If you're out too deep, it falls to the floor and there's no way for you to recover it.You only lose your gear in water if you're swimming while tired I believe, so don't just try to swim constantly like you do running, rest yourself up a bit, you should be able to get back to land without losing your gear. Assuming you don't constantly head towards a tired state while swimming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurritoBandit 24 Posted July 12, 2012 Someone once showed me that you can retrieve lost gear, but it must be really shallow water. He kinda dived into the water by going prone while at the edge and we was under water, pressed G and he was able to get his gear back. He might have been trolling, but it seemed legit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
