military bases tier list

[thierryverhaegen]

On DayZ Wiki it talks about guns and their tier list. I have also read here that not every military base spawns the same tier items.

Is there some kind of documentation about this somewhere? I know Tisy and NWAF spawn a bit more rare items (NVG and such) as other military bases. But is there a little more detail about the differences?

With every patch the loot economy seems to change a little.
Look at this map: https://dayz.ginfo.gg/ and use the filter on the right hand side to filter out everything that isn't barracks and Helo crashes. There are a few other bases you haven't mentioned like VMC ( Vybor Military Camp) and Military base Troitskoe ( in the north) .


You will sometimes find high end loot there sometimes , but usually you find good military loot at Helicopter crashes which are quite rare.

In general you don't know until you go there. I hope this helps.

persoanly my only experiance iwith the teired loot is that hi cap vests spawn commonly at tisy alongside smersh vest buttpacks or infected wearing them. Things like NVG scopes and stuff also spawn more up north but honestly weapon wise it seems untrue this patch as i only find sks's and fnx's at tisy same as on the coast bases.

if you want high tier weapons look for heli crashes instead as you will only find the same crap you find at the coast weapon wise

This might be a bit outdated as I'm not sure how to get the current areaflags.map file and convert it into an xml file readable by the Economy Editor but it should give you a reasonable idea.

In the screenshot above, I have Tier 1 (green), Tier 2 (blue), Tier 3 (Purple), Tier 4 (Yellow) selected.

I've also selected military zones/buildings.

You can see Balota military is in Tier 1 zone, prison island Tier 2, NWAF tier 3, Tisy tier 4 etc.

Now if you open up types.xml https://pastebin.com/f7zGjSdQ

Each item has values that define how many of these items exist, how long they last, where they spawn etc. So comparing the SVD to TTSKOBoots, the SVD only spawns at Tier4 Military zones (Tisy) where as the boots can spawn at any military location from Tier1-4

        <category name="weapons"/>
        <usage name="Military"/>
        <value name="Tier4"/>
    </type>

 <type name="TTSKOBoots">
        <nominal>10</nominal>

        <restock>0</restock>

        <value name="Tier2"/>
        <value name="Tier3"/>
        <value name="Tier4"/>
    </type>

That's my understanding of it anyway.

wow thanks. This would mean the NVG's for instance spawn in tier2, 3 and 4. Seems like a lot since most people say they are rare

There's still only 5 spawned at a time, so still pretty rare.

[thierryverhaegen]

so if 5 people are wearing them, no more spawn?
is this also shared over hives? is this only calculated for online people?
so for instance right now there are 3 people online on a server with an NVG, so 2 spawn?

I play on public (official) server with a shared hive with like 20 other servers. If this is counted for ALL characters on the server and over a shared hive, then chances of me finding one are very very slim without killing someone

[SmashT]

NVGoggles specifically aren't counted when on players, or in storage, they are only counted in the map it's just for that server regardless of whether it shares a hive with other servers.

<flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>

[thierryverhaegen]

oh okay, so regardless of how many players have an NVG equiped, or stashes away, there are always max 5 lying on the ground spawned. that's cool :)

Is this something that server hosters can edit?

And also if they arent counted when worn or stored that would mean that people hoarding guns should have no effect on the amount spawing on the map.

guns count in storage. NVG's dont.

yes, admins can change these

Yes, I don't think the tiers have changed too much, here is the current (1.07) with only tier 4 (yellow) and military selected (highighted in red)

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1040841603838324763/9C56B02F4145D3247B855074F12CA2AA2792B64B/


And the current tiers 1-4

You can use the CE Tool in DayZ Tools to paint your own custom tiers for your server.
