Matches loot spawn

[mind_grenade 24]

Is there somewhere that matches spawn more than other places?

I've only seen one, and that was on my previous life. I've got a Czech pack with enough to get me through WW Zed in it at the mo' (about 6 cans of beans, here's hoping I don't get shot), 4K blood and about 6 "raw meat"s, wood is everywhere, but no matches!!!! : /

I've barnhopped (probably about 9 in total) from the east coast to the NW airfield, through Stary Sobor and it's supermarket, hitting deer stands (~12) and stables and misc buildings along the way and back down directly south to Bor just North of Chernogorsk, and now just outside of Cherno and I haven't seen ONE stinking box yet. Hell I raided ALL the hangars at NW, TWICE, the fire station there and the comms tower. NOTHING.

Just want to cook ma' damn meat.

According to the loots list you can find them in residential areas, offices, and churches all at the same rate. They're not terribly rare, but it's not hard to understand having some difficulty finding them.

Ahhhh, ok , thanks for that. I've typically avoided residential areas for safety and just stuck to barns, supermarkets and deer stands (easier to loot, good stuff in them :P) with the occasional building. I've got practically everything else except NVG's :P

That said, the one box I did see was in a barn : /

Oh, that makes sense. There's a pretty high chance that a generic item will spawn in barn and one of those items is a matchbox. Offices still have the best chance though.

Thanks! I haven't seen one of those offices, do you happen to know which town they're in? Or just the big cities? I'm near Zeleno atm

You don't need the big cities just make sure the town you go has the building you need.

Matches can spawn pretty much everywhere, ordinary homes, general stores, churches, offices except industrial&military buildings and barns.

So you are near Zelenogorsk. Good! Zeleno has a church and general store.

[mind_grenade 24]

I'm at Bor, I'll just head NNW 'till I hit Zeleno, smack the church and general store while I'm there :) I didn't know it had a church, I just went direct south through the forest and past the big tower

Thanks heaps guys :D cook me up some meat and hold it in a forest for a while :P

Check the general stores, i've found all my matches in them.

[mind_grenade 24]

Just checked the general store at Zeleno, 100% empty. Absolutely nothing in it : /

Will hit church and the pub in north Zeleno later on :P

Absolutely nothing:huh: weird but you are seeing zombies around town right?

[mind_grenade 24]

Yes, my lad, one of the sneaky fuckers even followed me in (his mistake, bolt to the head :D). Probably about 10-15 I eyeballed on my entry to the South side of Zeleno.

Oh, there was an ALICE (thank god!! more than Czech) pack in the back room, but nothing else at all, not even any tin cans.

Ok, nevermind I just made it to the church, I thought I could get in but the doors didn't open and I had one after me : / died. 6 hours of gameplay, 9 cans of beans, 10 mak mags, compass, knife ALICE pack, AK + 3 mags, all gone. Sigh. Should've checked it was enterable :/
