Matches?

[secretagentman 0]

First off, I'd like to thank rocket & co for this fantastic mod I've only been playing a few days now but have had some very memorable experiences and generally good experiences with other players too.

My question, which I searched around and checked the wiki for but couldn't find an answer for, is what types of areas do matches spawn in? I've found tons of nice loot, and plenty of firewood in the few games I've played but I've yet to see a single pack of matches! Maybe other players are just cleaning them out first, but any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Cyd

Matches can be found in any civilian area including houses, churches, offices, and supermarkets.

Here's a handy list: http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html

I find them quite often, in the areas mentioned above.

I dont have an ounce issue with finding matches.

Edit: I've been able to find them everytime I've started over....

I have found matches two times, one in chernogorsk and one in elektro(the supermarket)

Just bad luck I guess, my last run I went through most of the buildings in Cherno including supermarkets and didn't get any. Thanks though, at least I know to keep checking these areas!

It's probably just a weird coincidence but I've played dozens of hours and never once found matches.

I don't see how people cant find them, i find them all the time, once with 3 in the same building lol :P

try going for the forts in the map. They tend to hold knifes, matches and tons of nice loot. Not many players seem to be going there either, since they are off the beaten path and on high peaks in the landscape. definately worth a go.

i've allways checked the maps wiki for locations but have never found them..

only time i seem to end up with them is from dead player bodies i stumble accross!
