I can't find a compound bow, where are the best places to find them?

[Tekay]

I've heard you can find the compound bows in normal towns, bunkers and huntigstands, is that true? Cause a friend and i played about 10 hours this weekend an just found recourved bows, no single compound bow. We looted several towns, bunkers, the training camp, naval base shootingrange and airfiled - nothing. Can anyone help?

May we are on the wrong server (EU 1826 official or some like that).
Just want to try this bow out, but dont have the time to search forever...

with max loot servers it isnt uncommon to find a .50 BMG in a random ass trashcan

Huh. 5x loot is 'max loot', which i've played in SP forever, and I've never found a BMG rifle outside of a bunker armory. And i've never found any kind of a gun in a trashcan, not even a broken 9mm.

Must be some special tweak or setting the admins implemented on a private server.

Its not that you cant find it, its just that you havent found it yet.

I typically find them in garages and in bedrooms.

I very like this game but SCUM in one point is same like others. NO LOGIC LOOT spawn system. I dont understand what is a problem to make it ? I dont even bother go to police stations or military bases because im finding pistols , hunting rifles and ammo everywhere and thats enough to defend for me or hunt animals. I never craft bows or other weapon because im finding them pretty easly in normal houses or hunting stands.

that is all caused by private servers putting the rates too high.. the loot spawns actually make perfect sense if you play on a vanilla server. you will pretty much never find ammo or guns outside of police stations / bunkers

Vanilla is also way toeasy for me. Month ago I run my own server.

Any way I wasent talking about amount of loot but none logic spawn system.

Standard setting now is kind of silly. It works for trash containers and garages and doesn't for high risk POIs. You dodge mechs, you clear the bunker full of heavy armored puppets and in the end find MP5 or a shotgun. may be AKM.

As far as i understand 0.5 will separate military loot spawn rates from world rates.

Best places to find a compound bow:

-civilian houses
-hunting cabins
-garages
-broken cars
-hunting watchtowers
-hunting shops in the big city (great place for carbon/metal arrows, slip-on bow silencer, bow stabilizer, compound bow sight, and bags/clothing too)

[Nero Chaos]

my experience:

Compound:
most likely in hunting shops in the big city;
also - airdrops, hunting towers;

Recurve:
broken cars
and #100 ballista is the most common of all...

ive found the compound in one of those convenient store/gas station places recently. Some bows I find in cars...or in houses.

In closing, you can find them pretty much everywhere. Although, ironically, I don't think i've ever seen one drop in a military bunker? LOL!

There are NO best places to find a compound bow / same goes for a lot of items ingame.

Yes there is mate. Yes there is. Same goes for a lot of items in the game.

Have to agree. I've seen tons more of them in hunting stands, than anywhere else. A lot of the loot in SCUM is weighted to be more likely to drop in some places than others, even if it isn't restricted to just one type of area.

Or hunting shops in the city. Always spawn some kind of bow, including compounds. If I look for screwdrivers and lockpicking, I have certain places I go, if I need building supplies I go other places, if I need guns, ammo, military stuff, I go other places, if I need padlocks, I go certain places, if I need food I go certain places... Its still somewhat random, but on the wider scale its not, and can be narrowed down quite a lot to make looting more effective and efficient.

Ayup. Still looking for a decent hotdog stand, tho.
