CZ550 and heli crashes

[Hayabusa (DayZ) 18]

Ok so me and a buddy were running around ALL DAY today looking for heli crashes and barns for the ever elusive CZ550 (just barns for the CZ550). We found 0 helicopter crashes and we searched maybe 27-30 barns and found only 1 CZ550. As i equiped the CZ550 I decided to keep my AK and CZ550. I went to put the CZ550 in my backpack and it disappeared. WTF?!

Has anyone had trouble with the spawn rates since the recent patch? It seems the only thing we found after maybe 8-10 hours of playing was tin cans, and hatchets, and a few AK-74 (worst weapon in the game). Of course we found a few other stupid weapons but nothing of worth.

im surprised that some is is actually looking for CZ550 ...

Items dissappearing when you try to put them into a FULL packpack is an old bug, you should count slots needed and clear your backpack beforehand. I had no problems with loot on the newest version either.

Bad luck. Spawns have seemed the same since the update for me.

[Naein (DayZ) 2]

backpacks can hold weapons but you need enough slots, a primary weapon takes 10 a secondary takes 5, if you try to put it in without enough slots it will dissapear on you sadly, had it happen to me a couple times.

a winchester is just as good and any weapon imo, well except for the range.

CZ550 are a lot more rare now than what they used to be. I managed to find someones camp with a friend and we got 1 each :), otherwise i haven't seen any in barns for ages now, although ammo for it is very common i find, especially at Cherno/Elektro. I still think barns are the best bet though because i have found some in there before in earlier patches but who knows aha.

Alice pack has 14 slots.......

And i look for the CZ550 because its the highest chance of a sniper rifle that is feasible for me to get. We killed 2 players today that had M107 and one guy disconnected so his body sank into the ground and the other was looted and when we logged off and relogged after 5min piss break the weapon was gone.

First off, the Ak is not the worst weapon in the game, it may not be the best but it's surely not the worst.

Now crashed helis are quite uncommon, but you have to explore most of the areas north, northwest, northeast, and west. They spawn in fields and on the edge of treelines and I believe only 3-5 spawn on a single server. Now the CZ is pretty rare for a civilian weapon but I can see why. It has been rare since a few patches ago so keep looking.

What makes getting bad loot spawns makes a player bad? I had 14 kills with an AKM. Not some stupid sniper bullshit

Here's a very simple rule when storing / changing weapons:

ALWAYS make sure you have at least 10 free slots in your backpack, or the weapon WILL disappear.

When switching weapons from your backpack to your main weapon area, ALWAYS switch the one in the backpack into your inventory, and not the other way around.

Anyone can kill noobs on the coast. Also, the AKM is a very good gun, it kills in one hit.

Right i did that but my alice pack had 14 free slots. It shouldnt have happened

I was at Stary Sobor....

Oh and the AKM does 4499 dmg/per hit and you have 12000 health. please learn to play before making post on bugs or trouble shooting. It just makes you look like a noob with down sydrome

and the switching from backpack to inventory makes mroe sense. I will remember that and hopefullyit will save me a headache

I can play the game fine, which is why I always get 1 hit kills with the AKM. ;)

Show proof. It takes 3 rounds to fully kill a player unless they bleed to death. You are a terribad at this

I guess hitting people in the head is hard with those arthritic retard hands of yours.

Oh so my makorov kills in 1 shot too in that case. Fucking retard

Show me proof of you getting a headshot at 300-350 meters with the AKM and ill shutup. That is where i took 90 percent of my shots today and got 13 kills. 3 shots to the body to kill a player.

He obvious is only killing zombies.

In any case, I was there. 2 servers, tons of barns, no real loot of worth (not even any M16/M4 variants or AKMs. No scoped weapons of any kind, and the few pistols we found were makarovs). We even hit balota and berezino just to be sure.

Oh, and he had 14 free slots, which was more than enough for either his AKM with 2 mags, or CZ550 with 1 mag. He didn't make that part very clear, and instead said the ALICE has 14 slots, he meant he HAD 14 slots available. I double checked, as I was the one taking his items to make room so he could pick it up.

Oh and to the guy that says killing newbies on the coast is easy... Newbies don't pack DMRs, M107s, or similar high powered weapons. They don't pack NVGs, they don't pack M4A1 SDs, or anything else. So shut up before you have any proof that newbies are being killed by either of us. (I have shot an unarmed player, but he was leading a zombie train at me)

But seriously, what is up with crashed helios? Bugged servers or is the crashes not spawning?

Gonna have to guess he was just unlucky then, I have a SAW in my bag and that looted just fine.

Might be some problem when looting a weapon off the ground straight into your bag tho. ( pickup the weapon you want to have in your bag first then put that into the backpack, then loot the weapon you want equipped from the ground.)

[Zeromentor 169]

ITS A TRAP!

[m.waaagan@gmail.com 0]

As for heli crashes there are 3-4 per server restart across the entire map, checking every spawnpoint would take ages if you're unlucky with spawns.

I found one yesterday (hence my post about the SAW)

This map might be helpfull if you dont have it allready : http://dayzdb.com/map
