NVG drop from "pilot zombies".

[The2ndLink 156]

I heard that the pilot zombies that only spawn at heli crashs have a chance to drop NVGs.

Anyone can confirm that?

[hunter2123 106]

I've heard stories about teh same thing.

[trichome (DayZ) 198]

Yup they do but the percentage is extremely small as you would expect but the chance is there :)

[Gogster (DayZ) 626]

Military pilots... I would have thought the chance would be 100%

[Cannabeast 4]

Heard it too. Never seen it. Always check them like a fool though.

It's the army. How reliable are they?

(Especially when they crash on an island during a zombie infestation, which as far as I can tell is completely unable to do anything about flying vehicles.)

Anyone actually found NVGs on a pilot?

Also if the percantage is over 1% it might be worth farming them.

I always kill military, including pilots, zombies to find military ammo... never found any goggles though. I'll keep trying though, since it was already my policy to kill them.

barracks NVG % is 0.11%

crash site NVG is 0.89%

pilot NVG is prob somewhere around 0.0001%

I heard stories they drop Radios... dun dun dun dun!

I was farming pilot zombies with a Mk48 and a backpack full of 100 round boxes to get the NVG drop.

At 732 zombies i just gave up. Forever.

I can confirm that I have looted NVGs off Zombies at Chopper Crash sites and Military Zombies at deer stands. The only way I have got NVGs in this game are off Pilot Zombies at crash sites, Military Zombies at deer stands and by looting other players, their vehicles or tents. Ive never had NVGs from standard "in building" loot drops.

EDIT: Although I don't loot the military loot places often as I suffer from the graphical glitches and I nothing Ive tried works.

[BlindProphet 34]

Yup. They do indeed drop. Picked up one or two sets that way.
