One and a half hours game time, and that includes getting shot fully geared up near Myshkino and then rerunning back from Cherno, looting Balota and visiting Zeleno. About four loot circles of the tent camp West of Myshkino just to see how long gear kept spawning for and decided to call it quits and go look for some heli crashes. Left seven or eight backpacks full of gear and a platoon sized wardrobe of clothes on the ground for anyone else who wandered up there.








If you had a group of three of four you could gear up extremely quickly the way they have it working atm, wonder how they will get around it. Only way i can think is they dump a few more random little worthless joints in the loot bubble that will spawn crap items making it much more time consuming and not worth the effort.

Edit - Dammit ! Just noticed i left my sunnies in a backpack !

You always show some cool stuff that I never see. I have never seen a clip for the carbine before. I also have a lock pick but haven't found a door for it yet. Handcuffs maybe. Still hunting for heli crashes and tents. Have not tried a snare yet. Haven't found a knife anyway. Finding lots of .45 ammo but no .45. Last update was .45 all over the place but no ammo. Finding lots of Makarovs.

Lock a door with the pick wink Just make sure it isn't already badly damaged so it doesn't go into ruined and you have to bash your way out lol.

The CR527 mag is as rare as rocking horse doo doo for me . I haven't found many and when i have, i never need it owing to an akm or some other primary already equipped. I'm doing a quick vid now on loot cycling in .50, and in about forty solid minutes of just looting one spot, mil tents, with a ton of respawning items i still only found two mags for the CR527. 7.62 x 39mm was off the charts though and having two mags gives you a quick change over time.

If you have a server you stick to and play experminetal i can dump a Cr527 in the bushes for you somewhere and you can take her for a run if you want. It should survive a couple of restarts before it vanishes into the ether smile

Quick three minute vid showing how a quick grind in one area can pay off. Boring as a playstyle yes, but like the mod, groups will be doing this and cleaning up quickly and easily. Duping was easy as well but i didn't include that part, put it on the bugtracker,

Alright, I gave it another chance, this time trying out the experimental version and although hunger seems to be more severe, I was able to find enough food to keep alive. Got a good set of gear, even built a mosin with camo paint, grass burlap wrap and high power scope. But I could not for the life of me find a single round for it anywhere over the span of two days. I literally found about a dozen SKSs in my travels, but not a single 7.62x51 round. Hopefully the weapon/ammo spawning gets balanced.

I even found an MP5K, but it was in "ruined" condition, and was beyond fixing.

Magazines too. I've got about 200 rounds for my 1911, and not a single mag to put them in.

I think the most comical feature of this update is the shoe wear. you put a pair of shoes on, run for a minute, and they're ruined. I was literally swapping shoes every time I found them until it dawned on me that there's no ill effect beyond the "my feet are sore" messages.

The animals are cool. Their animations look good, and spotting a single buck on the horizon got me excited even though I had no means to try to hunt it. I also came across a few hogs. Tried hitting one with my axe, but it took off on me.

That's the spirit biggrin

Shoes or foot wear is super nerfed lol. Brand new to stuffed in a couple of minutes and then i wore out my new pristine jungle boots in under ten minutes. Looks like spare shoes are going to take up a bunch of slots when .50 hits stable tomorrow smile
