[ENG] Loot locations (buildings)

By ☜☢☞ VerrittinCZ ☜☢☞ and 1 collaborators

Do you love DayZ? Do you love fast loot in DayZ? Then you are here right. Here you can find many and many locations.

- Garages
Garages are good for clothing, and often contain wool coats or even my favorite, riders jackets. Beyond clothing, you can find some military loot, but also axes and fishing lures. The sky is the limit here.

- Police station
These are the buildings that have the lookout on top, and when you go inside you'll see a jail and spiral staircase. They don't seem to be as good as they once were, but you are almost certain to find a gun and some ammunition, although they aren't usually compatible. Beyond that, you can find some clothes and usually lots to drink.

- Military tents
Fair enough, tents aren't really buildings, but we're going to give them a pass since they are likely the primary place to loot up when looking for trouble. The most common tents in the game are on the northwest side of the Northwest Airfield. Almost every one of them will contain weapon attachments, food, military clothing, ammunition and even the occasional gun.

- Fire station
You can find fire stations at the Northwest Airfield, as well as plenty of other towns and cities on the map. They are often a great place to get an axe, or even pick up a pistol and some ammunition. Don't forget to go upstairs and even take a peek out on the roof. Just don't get sniped.

- Piano house
The Piano House typically has three doors, and gets its name from the piano you'll find on the first floor. Check the shelf for ammunition or a gun, then head upstairs and look around, including inside the room at the end of the hall. Besides guns and ammunition, expect to primarily find food and clothing.

- School
Schools have big front doors that you might expect a school to have, but also a door on either side of the first floor. If you go through the main doors, you can use the stairs on your right to go to the third floor where the only open room will contain a gun. If it's not there, someone took it. Besides that gun, you can often find food and medical supplies.

- Cars and trucks
Vehicles are everywhere, but you're more likely to find a gun here than you are in a military tent. Make sure you check the front seats, trunk and even the ground around them. They will often have food, backpacks and yes, their fair share of weapons. It's never a bad idea to stop and snoop through one.

- Food houses
Food houses (pictured above) tend to have more to eat than a grocery story, and often include bottles of water or a Canteen. They will even spawn a weapon in one of the back rooms, but it's really the consumables that survivors should be excited about. Several of these buildings can be found just north of Severograd.

- Aircraft hangers
As you would expect, aircraft hangers are found at the airfields, but they aren't as great as they once were. They seem to have a lot of boots and backpacks these days, but besides the SKS they lack some of the game's more popular weapons. You can find ammunition, weapon attachments and anything else from the military around here. They are a must-check before setting out for Berezino.

- Hunting stands
You can find these scattered all over the map, normally on the edge of a tree line that overlooks a clearing. You want to check all of these, as they often have water, binoculars, ammunition, scopes, and much more, including guns. These are great ways for those of you who don’t want to head to the coast to find a lot of gear in a big hurry. This also applies to the stands that you’ll see along the fence line of military bases, as these often have foot, backpacks, and yes, military gear.

- Gate houses
You’re only going to find military loot here (and maybe some food), but there is a lot of loot at the gate houses around Chernarus. You can find one gate house at the Vybor Military Base, one at the Northwest Airfield, and many more scattered throughout towns like Berezino and Elektro. These are very popular places to go these days (0.57), but if you are looking to find a gun and some ammunition quickly, this might be your best bet. Also note that if you’re specifically looking for a gun, you can visit out Best Places to Find a Gun in DayZ article, also up to date as of 0.57.
