Plier?

[Jimbo]

I have been looking for over 15 hours for a plier on a vanilla server. . .
do they now days only spawn in higher loot tier regions if so what loot tier regions do they spawn T2 or T3 and above?

or is there a limit how many pliers their can be on a server outside or outside/+inside a box

For some reason the game gives you 4/5 things easily and then makes it near impossible to find the 1/5 thing to complete the picture. So best to just to take opportunity as it comes and just stop looking.

Vanilla server rule: The ONE thing you need, no matter how common it is, you'll never find.

Once you don't need it anymore, they'll be 5 copies in the next town/military base.

Rule 1 for DayZ has always been you will rarely find what you need when you really need it. I've been playing today on the official servers and have found two pairs of pliers in the coastal towns (Cherno and Electro). The condition for both were badly damaged, but yes they can be found on the coast

Funny you made this post as I started a new game on Bitterroot playtest US matttyice and have been searching for pliers 3 days. I find everything but pliers.

These are the spawn dynamics for pliers set by the game for a default server:

- The restock time is 4 hours which is the typical restart time for most servers
- There is a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 70 pliers that can be spawned every restock/restart
- The cost (AKA percentage chance of spawning) is 100, which means there is a 100% chance that the minimum amount of pliers will be spawned per restart
- Only pliers spawned in the game world count, so pliers found in containers do not count towards the 50 minimum or 70 maximum values

It certainly is an intimidating document at first and certain values will have to be looked up to understand what they mean exactly. For example, quantmin/quantmax only affects items that have percentages/variable stack sizes such as water bottles, gun magazines, spawned stacks of bullets, and so on.
