Can you suggest that the Boats get a Spawning overhaul? As I circled the map 3 Full times and only found a boat that spawned Upside down. It really floored me to have 0 luck finding the damn boat.
I saw a boat the first day Official servers went up. Never found the gas to take it out to sea. Havent seen a boat since, hoping my luck changes soon. I enjoyed the northern islands, no crates were there the day I went. The islands joined by the rock overpass is really cool. I suspect someone has a base there often now.
Yeah I agree. I'm all for making things hard but they really need a small storage for the boat, at least enough for either a gas can or a few smaller items, like 50 storage would be helpful
@@superduper3722 sakhal being an eastern island western gear doesnt make much sense, i like what they did with the gear spawns, livonia having more western, sakhal eastern and chernarus being a mix of both
really awkward choice, having AK101&M4+DMR spawns way out there there is barely any NATO-ammo spawning on the whole map except from 7.62x3.9 & 9×39mm and packs of .22 & .38
Interesting isn't it... I hit the bunker with a buddy and we got 2x VSD 4x VSD mags 2X KAM 2x drum mags 2 x nvg 2 x pristine plates, pouches holster and various other bits and pieces... plus enough ammo to kill every bear on the map! 2 hours searching for crates yeilded 2 mags and a water bottle...
I looted the South East island. Took ages, and nearly died of starvation and cold driving there and back in a boat navigating ice. Got an m4 and DMR. Would probably have to spend a day looting enough 5.56, as it only spawns in containers, and not a fan of the DMR cause of the scope! Running with a KA74 and Mosin instead now 😂.
Carrying a torch helps. You can light it after you have to swim once you get back on the ice. You may not get a buff but it'll keep you from losing health.
Map needs heavy rebalancing. There are far more than eight container spawns on that second larger island past the light house. The immediate issue is the size of the island, it's long enough that you can take a boat back and forwards and assuming nobody is within your vicinity, the shipping containers will comtinuously either respawn, or reset the loot inside the previous container jf you remove the items. The bunker as I'm sure most of us who have managed to get there and inside have worked out is incredibly easy to access. The fact you can get inside at all without fuel or a glow plug doesn't help. Even the greediest of loot goblins will leave you an AKM with a fully loaded drum mag in the middle of the floor.
@mattb9054 you're not wrong, it's definitely doable, it'll be interesting to see continuous tweeks from the devs. The new map, plus the seeming increased community engagement by BI gives me hope for some decent improvements. I don't think we can expect cars to suddenly be client based for obvious reasons but perhaps we might see some encouragement for communication within the game. Something to encourage further player interaction and engagement with others beyond having a group of people you know outside game you choose to role with.
I swam and walked across the ice to the lighthouse island. The container I found had a badly damaged DMR with no scope, a damaged M4A1, and a pristine green pistol holster inside. I haven't gone again, but I'll go to see what I find. Vanilla server, of course. The owner of the server, a friend of mine, told me that there are more than 10,000 possible item combinations, and that possibly I would have gotten one of the best.
I think the nato ammo situation makes it not worth it, not with the obscene amount of loot available in the bunker wich more often than not you dont even need the items in the bunker 'quest' to get that loot as its too much for even the biggest teams to carry lol. Not sure deafening yourself for ages in a boat is worth finding a gun that its effectivly useless when theres a much easier option available.
Gotta admit tho military crates washing up on offshore islands from a different country you can only find by adventuring through the ice sheets onto uninhabited islands without a guaranteed spawn is a a hectic way of doing a dynamic event, I hope we get more map specific events like this

I think boats need to be recycled / respawned if no one uses them within 24 hours. The persistence timer for them is way too long. People are having a very hard time finding boats on Sakhal because most of them are beached in random parts of the map. I hope the Devs take this into consideration!
They do respawn fairly quick. It's not like a car. I think I heard someone say there's only 2 on the map at any time. If you're struggling, it's likely people are finding them before you.

Really? I just searched 57 spawns to try to debunk your theory and I found 17 containers and have a ridiculous abundance of loot. You talk bs in my opinion.
First up, Sakhal is a great looking map. I promised I would not play the map on Console or PC having both options as some friends only have consoles for a number of reasons. Having played DayZ for ten years, I finally got talked into playing the map last week. Already lighting fires every twenty minutes, not finding a boat, a car barely seen a gun, damaged clothes and nothing to fix them topped off with geared to the teeth players killing every fresh spawn. I noticed less players on the servers last night, so when asked last night to play the PS5, we chose Cherno servers as had many others, it seemed. John tells me his circle of usual mates have gone back to Cherno and Livonia for pretty much the same reason I stopped. I shall be back on PC later, but until the heat buff time is extended and the loot cycle gets a rethink, it won't be on Dayz's best-looking map .
Don't agree with the decision to take away the SVAL, VSS, LAR, and the AUGs on Sakhal as well as the loot changes on the other maps. Please add these guns into the loot pool!
Will have to see how it develops with time as either the Bunker or Boat trip is both quite hard for a solo survivor to achieve given how much is involved, i guess we have the m79 launcher buts its a little much to carry around. The Bunker ideally needs to be gassed to stop duos walking out with the best weapons in the game and the islands need more military outpost stuff, sure getting a boat is hard but coming back with an M4 & DMR for just driving around a bit is too much power to duos. As it stands i completely get it, feels fine and a nice challenge for solo players but after exploring the southern military it really needs a bit more to it. I decided to leave the south military due to food issues where as really my character should be able to live & die there, so far i have avoided fishing as i don't want to rely on it, so feel we need some Deer or Boar living there too.
I hope people can't live there. That way you have to briefly get your gear there and leave before you starve. Who wants people camping on the bunker island 24/7? Hopefully they take any animals that can or would spawn on the bunker island and block the spawns.
Did the large S.E. island last night - not bad - DMR (no mag), 2 M16s (no mags), 2 boxes of 556 and the holy of holies - a pristine standardised suppressor. That was one trip down the East coast of the island from North to South.
This is my favorite map by far. It's super fun, and I like actually having to deal with the threat of the cold; it makes the game more engaging instead of walking around for hours and getting shot since I like staying on my toes 24/7. This map is perfect for me, and I do wish there was more snow since the white ghillies are useless considering they're brighter than the sun. But this map is by far my favorite, especially since I play on console, and first-person servers are always slightly dead with only like 1 high-pop server, and since this map is smaller, it allows me to run into people when there's a low pop, and this map is by far the best thing DayZ has done in my opinion, but I do wish we got the popular PC-modded snow map instead.
We need a temp system for sakhal, like a visible number showing what the temp is, think it would be good to add it with having a gps in hand maybe, or down near the stats in the bottom left
ran the ice to elizarovo then tried swimming to solisko (the one you questioned whether or not was reachable by boat) with my 2 random friends.. they died less than halfway but i made it because i popped a heat pack the instant before i jumped into the water.. took nearly 30 minutes, i was red health & my heat pack ruined moments after reaching the land.
Me and a friend have played this map for about a week. We have yet to find a single boat ever. We’ve done everything else to do in this map but cannot find a boat. We even found a massive duper base already. Cars. Trucks. But boats… they don’t exist
So far, I’ve found 3x M16, 2xM4 and one DMR but virtually no 556 ammo. Also I have had quite a few gunfights with other survivors on the islands too which is great fun. I’m thoroughly enjoying Sakhal overall! great job Bohemia.
I've so far found 2 DMR's and 4 M4's through these, multiple 60 rounders and one nato suppressor, never a M16 yet, a relaxing way to get gear when you find a boat but don't want to go PVP chad to the bunker. Often they have glass bottles/water bottles in them but can't complain. I am shocked though that boats don't spawn at any of the outer islands even the massive two, seems sadistic to make someone stuck out there if they log out over there, or if you have a base on one, you must boat back to mainland just to log, if you log in your base you are stranded. Swimming isn't worth it
I feel like boats are like cars. Heaps at beginning of wipe, but then they get stashed and you can’t find them forever. Which sucks when you need them to access parts of the map 😬.
Hardly..can stash cars in a base. Can only stash boats on ice sheets or on the coast. My tip is if you find a base near a costal village or town, run the coast line you’ll likely find their boat.
@@Juvinile876You only have 17-22 boats per server. And they spawn along like 45km of coastline. All someone has to do is just park the boat behind an ice sheet, close to shore and no one will be able to see it from land. Not saying it’s impossible to find boats. But odds drop a few weeks after wipe. I’m gonna do another search tonight. Hopefully I get lucky 🤞.
@@Marks12 Oh ok that’s good. I was hoping that was the case. Didn’t want boats to be sitting there for 2 weeks doing nothing. Do you know how long the respawn timer is?
Not worth it in my opinion. On my private server, no mods, I took a boat to all of the potential spawn locations except for the south east island. The entire trip took a very long time and I only found 2 containers! From those containers I found a Badly Damaged M16 and a black AK mag and a couple minor items like a plastic water bottle that can be found anywhere. It felt like a huge letdown. I expected to see more than 2 containers.
And why you have to ask, is 'Russian' gear spawning on those islands..? The map is all about Soviet gear so the container (when they eventually spawn...) should only be NATO and at least tier 3 - most of the gear you eventually find is just crap.. Needs a little work...
Boating around is kinda boring NGL. I only got into one boat fight. It was the first day and we had no sniper. Just took long range pot shots at each other and we ended up driving away with no way to push. If you try to push with a guy not sitting you can't go full speed so i'm not sure what you are supposed to do other than land insane snipes or flee.
Only done the islands once, spent hours going round the entire map but only saw 1 single container and it had a damaged KA 101… but will definitely try again tonight
Hey Marks. Appreciate the video. I see a lot of comments leaving feedback. While valuable, much if it is blunt. Thank you for taking the time to upload this and get a feel from the community. It is obvious when you like each comment, you and the team take the time to take it into consideration. Much appreciated, keep up the good work.
Glad BI hired him, hope it sticks with both.👍I'm thinking he doesn't read them all... can't really.. to keep sane at the least 😜.. this IS YooToob and every Heynonnymouse opinion shows up🤣🤣🤣
I checked 20 spawns along the north coast, found absolutely 0 containers and died trying to make my way back to mainland island. The risk does not outweigh the reward, particularly as a new spawn. So I'd only recommend taking a boat around the islands to look for containers. Even then, random chance of a DMR with 1 bullet and no mag seems a weird choice. (If you don't get water bottles) The map really needs a NATO loot, gas-zone shipwreck/oil rig or something imo.
Want a Top Tier tip for stashing boats?😎: Find a spot along the coast thats kind of isolated and out the way, a couple of layers of ice shelfs out from the coast and find one that dips into the water and run your boat up on top of it, have two next to each other like in my own private parking spot!😎
I finally got a boat and hit 3 islands and found 2 crates. I did get a DMR so i cant complain but the only other thing was a badly damaged AK 101 with no mag. I did find a filter bottle on one of the wrecked boats. However, the boat travel is risky as hell. Its very hard to keep a line and know where you are heading when there arent any land marks to use. It is definitely high risk but a journey. Just to clarify, i play on Xbox so there isnt a built in map or compass to just use for navigation
Islands are barely worth it with the current loot spawn. Drive all the way out there for a small chance of getting good gear. Then you need to find the ammo for the guns that ONLY spawn in the containers. Honestly id say an easy fix is to put military bases or camps on the islands that spawn western weapons so the the drive to the islands are worth it
I feel like there should be one guaranteed good thing. Even if it's an FX or good piece of clothing (overwritten if there's like a DMR or smthg), I think that it is good for people to know that they got something useful if they found one. Being unsure if you got a FX or a M4A1 is better than being unsure if you got a Walmart bag or DMR.
I dont get why they didnt have abunch of eastern gear to add to make up for the NATO gear being so scarce. The airfield being the only real source of good military loot is becoming a real problem as well
I got M1 M4 or what that names were, but when you have no Fishing gear you will die, the great container ship is to the last island is empty no spawn and you risk to fall into the ocean when you are not a climbing pro
Yesterday I found a boat and drove to every island, I only found 2 containers of all islands, got myself only 1 m4 and 1 full mag, no spare ammo tho. Maybe I plan a trip again haha
Need boats to actually SPAWN as if i can circle the island 3 times and only find 1 overturned boat is kinda crap in my opinion. Needs to be updated. Thanks.
got myself a DMR and a few mags and M4 with 2x60rnd mags and ammo, most of the islands u can get to on foot ice hopping and lil swimming, right clothes are a must
Yup, it's inconsistent. Both ATOG sights are NATO, the Western Colt 1911 and .45 ammo for it also spawn on the mainland, the Ruger .22 rifle is a Western weapon, .308 hunting rifles and ammo are Western weapons, etc.
If you happen to find a boat, absolutely yes. Found enough M4/DMRs and ammo to invade Chernarus in these containers. But the loot progression feels really off on the new map. I found a Savannah in the big T3 city long before remotely feeling ready to hit the bunker gear wise. And why the hell did they take away my vss/val for the annoying little brother "Vikhr?" It doesn´t even have an integrated silencer, like common.
Too much M16 hate lol, It's a fantastic weapon! Not sure if the islands are worth it because of ammo requirements. I managed to get a DMR with 2 20rnd mags and an M4 with 2 60rnd mags and a suppressor. Took about 3 hours. Then took on a squad, knocked one, tried to finish him with the M4 only to discover I was lagging hard so not sure if he even died but as I was running away I got insta killed because someone must have been shooting me while I lagged and 'stood still'. Where do you find gun cleaning kits on Sakhal? I have seen ZERO in all my play.
After two weeks after the release all boats are hidden by players. I checked all civilian and military boat spawn points and found 0. Then, I started to search between ice sheets near the bunker and found 2. We need a wetsuit so we can search for boats in ice sheets efficiently, without lighting fires every 2 minutes. Or to able to reach distant islands without boats, but with this wetsuit
I spent hours searching for a spark plug, boat, and then searching the islands. My reward was an M-16, a mag, and 11 rounds of ammo. Definitely not worth it.
after 1.26 bohemia did nice thing whith loot rebalance but now it feels like all of the maps(sakhal mostly) need more weapons because all cherno runs only whith ak74 and its bad
imagine if you could find any loot anywhere. Sure military should have a higher chance but it would be awesome if there was a chance of finding high end gear anywhere. Makes everywhere worth checking and the entire looting mechanic more fun if there could be treasure behind every door or in every pocket. Half the buildings aren't even worth going into atm. Because you know that there will be nothing good in them.
Went all the way to the far island, found one container, with an m16, no magazine and a box of 5.56. Not worth all the trouble and time to get a boat and travel there. What a joke.
If you cant find 5.56 try checking the new odd science labs where you find the briefcase keys. I had a base nearby so i was cycling loot and there is a box of 5.56 often.
I only found one randomly while boating, had and M4 and a 60rd mag, i dont really use the nato weapons so i dont care to much and as the AS VAL unfortunately dosent spawn on sakhal so i dont need the nato night scope ether so nothing really in them to tempt me out to the islands tbh. Bunker loot is pretty good apart from the SV98 as its easier to get a better hunting rifle inland than going in the bunker for the slightly worse SV98
Good vid as always mate. All these folk complaining about sakhal, just for a bit of attention 😂 "its too cold" " boats suck" any dribble to draw some comments. Desperados
Great video and I love your stuff but I think expecting to find m4a and dmrs essentially free is wild, I mean they are dynamic like the helis and convoys ig but still

K,M,O,T are the same,.. like as in K-mart🤣 C is S....sssee? b is bee, while B is V 3 is Z ..like DayZ will kill you in 3 days😝 P is R,.. like.. Public Relations departments. There's a few more that are just wonky for English speakers, but the ones listed can get you through most map names.
I don't know, i feel like these containers are more for serever hoppers from Cherno and Livonia. The idea is good, but it doesn't work when there's no 556 ammo on the map overall. Ima stick to the eastern guns since i'm not a server hopper. Also server hopping shouldn't be a thing. It's the dumbest idea ever.
I consider them worth the island off the military atoll are pretty good I was able to swim/ climb the ice there just had to stop fish and make a fire ever island watch out for wolfs to but I found a m4 and m16 with 40 round mags so far just from last night
Like the map, but buggy. Items spawning in weird like inside or on the underside of table and benches, car parts like a “vehicle space” away from the actual vehicle, ladders on cranes buried inside cranes, etc etc hope it gets patched soon
I find the containers to be hit or miss. You're better off hitting Rify. I rode around the southern islands for 3 hours on a boat and got 2 M4s an M16 and some mags. 🤷
the first day (launch day) i played official, i swam to the north east islands and the one called Tungar or whatever had 3 crates, I got an M4 and AK101 out of the second crate i found, as i ran the perimeter of the island looking for more, the previous crates respawned their loot! just kept running around until i had 2 full 60rnd mags, all pristine...no DMR but i had a sick M4 and all the ammo you could carry for it! lol
I found M4 with supressor and DMR so it seems worth it but I doubt I will find ammo for M4 on main island so I guess M4 is useless. But DMR could be usefull.

Will have to see how it develops with time as either the Bunker or Boat trip is both quite hard for a solo survivor to achieve given how much is involved, i guess we have the m79 launcher buts its a little much to carry around. The Bunker ideally needs to be gassed to stop duos walking out with the best weapons in the game and the islands need more military outpost stuff, sure getting a boat is hard but coming back with an M4 & DMR for just driving around a bit is too much power to duos. As it stands i completely get it, feels fine and a nice challenge for solo players but after exploring the southern military it really needs a bit more to it. I decided to leave the south military due to food issues where as really my character should be able to live & die there, so far i have avoided fishing as i don't want to rely on it, so feel we need some Deer or Boar living there too.
I hope people can't live there. That way you have to briefly get your gear there and leave before you starve. Who wants people camping on the bunker island 24/7? Hopefully they take any animals that can or would spawn on the bunker island and block the spawns.
Did the large S.E. island last night - not bad - DMR (no mag), 2 M16s (no mags), 2 boxes of 556 and the holy of holies - a pristine standardised suppressor. That was one trip down the East coast of the island from North to South.
This is my favorite map by far. It's super fun, and I like actually having to deal with the threat of the cold; it makes the game more engaging instead of walking around for hours and getting shot since I like staying on my toes 24/7. This map is perfect for me, and I do wish there was more snow since the white ghillies are useless considering they're brighter than the sun. But this map is by far my favorite, especially since I play on console, and first-person servers are always slightly dead with only like 1 high-pop server, and since this map is smaller, it allows me to run into people when there's a low pop, and this map is by far the best thing DayZ has done in my opinion, but I do wish we got the popular PC-modded snow map instead.
We need a temp system for sakhal, like a visible number showing what the temp is, think it would be good to add it with having a gps in hand maybe, or down near the stats in the bottom left
There are thermometers. 😂
@@Juvinile876 true, but I mean like have it displayed with our stats, just for sakhal with its crazy environment
ran the ice to elizarovo then tried swimming to solisko (the one you questioned whether or not was reachable by boat) with my 2 random friends.. they died less than halfway but i made it because i popped a heat pack the instant before i jumped into the water.. took nearly 30 minutes, i was red health & my heat pack ruined moments after reaching the land.
Me and a friend have played this map for about a week. We have yet to find a single boat ever. We’ve done everything else to do in this map but cannot find a boat. We even found a massive duper base already. Cars. Trucks. But boats… they don’t exist
So far, I’ve found 3x M16, 2xM4 and one DMR but virtually no 556 ammo. Also I have had quite a few gunfights with other survivors on the islands too which is great fun. I’m thoroughly enjoying Sakhal overall! great job Bohemia.
I have been exploring all the southern islands by foot. some vitamins and frequent fires to dry clothes/warm up is all you need.
I've so far found 2 DMR's and 4 M4's through these, multiple 60 rounders and one nato suppressor, never a M16 yet, a relaxing way to get gear when you find a boat but don't want to go PVP chad to the bunker. Often they have glass bottles/water bottles in them but can't complain.
I am shocked though that boats don't spawn at any of the outer islands even the massive two, seems sadistic to make someone stuck out there if they log out over there, or if you have a base on one, you must boat back to mainland just to log, if you log in your base you are stranded. Swimming isn't worth it
@FracturedGoblin having a base is even harder now with this update.
I logged out in the ocean on a boat it was still there when I relogged you can push the boat into a little 1x2 fence box when you get to your island
You can just park it in the ice or sum
You could just have a brain.
@@lljackiechan4524 the guy that said fish isn't food
Like the idea but unless you find a boat it is a nightmare, haven't found a single one so far.
I feel like boats are like cars. Heaps at beginning of wipe, but then they get stashed and you can’t find them forever. Which sucks when you need them to access parts of the map 😬.
Hardly..can stash cars in a base. Can only stash boats on ice sheets or on the coast. My tip is if you find a base near a costal village or town, run the coast line you’ll likely find their boat.
@@Juvinile876You only have 17-22 boats per server. And they spawn along like 45km of coastline.
All someone has to do is just park the boat behind an ice sheet, close to shore and no one will be able to see it from land.
Not saying it’s impossible to find boats. But odds drop a few weeks after wipe.
I’m gonna do another search tonight. Hopefully I get lucky 🤞.
You shouldn't be able to stash boats as easily becasue the respawn timer is very short
@@Marks12 Oh ok that’s good. I was hoping that was the case. Didn’t want boats to be sitting there for 2 weeks doing nothing. Do you know how long the respawn timer is?
Not that many places to stash a boat though. It's pretty much got to be on the coast but maybe hidden in the ice sheets?
10:46 “I was expecting the loot to be a bit better”….. I find myself saying that everywhere I go.
This is a really cool dynamic event, I just wished some of the containers had some empty crates or something, these are all completely empty
It’s fun seeing you do some gameplay. More please 😊
Is the ice axe back in the game yet? It could be useful for climbing on that sea ice
It is spawning on Sakhal!
@@Marks12 that and cleats or whatever they are called should be essental.
Not worth it in my opinion. On my private server, no mods, I took a boat to all of the potential spawn locations except for the south east island. The entire trip took a very long time and I only found 2 containers! From those containers I found a Badly Damaged M16 and a black AK mag and a couple minor items like a plastic water bottle that can be found anywhere. It felt like a huge letdown. I expected to see more than 2 containers.
And why you have to ask, is 'Russian' gear spawning on those islands..? The map is all about Soviet gear so the container (when they eventually spawn...) should only be NATO and at least tier 3 - most of the gear you eventually find is just crap.. Needs a little work...
@@motherhen4900 I agree.
Boating around is kinda boring NGL. I only got into one boat fight. It was the first day and we had no sniper. Just took long range pot shots at each other and we ended up driving away with no way to push. If you try to push with a guy not sitting you can't go full speed so i'm not sure what you are supposed to do other than land insane snipes or flee.
Only done the islands once, spent hours going round the entire map but only saw 1 single container and it had a damaged KA 101… but will definitely try again tonight
Hey Marks. Appreciate the video. I see a lot of comments leaving feedback. While valuable, much if it is blunt. Thank you for taking the time to upload this and get a feel from the community. It is obvious when you like each comment, you and the team take the time to take it into consideration. Much appreciated, keep up the good work.
Glad BI hired him, hope it sticks with both.👍I'm thinking he doesn't read them all... can't really.. to keep sane at the least 😜.. this IS YooToob and every Heynonnymouse opinion shows up🤣🤣🤣
Players to this day still cannot get into and exit a vehicle at the same time…
Yeah. That is correct. It's because of desync. Want desync?
I checked 20 spawns along the north coast, found absolutely 0 containers and died trying to make my way back to mainland island. The risk does not outweigh the reward, particularly as a new spawn.
So I'd only recommend taking a boat around the islands to look for containers. Even then, random chance of a DMR with 1 bullet and no mag seems a weird choice. (If you don't get water bottles)
The map really needs a NATO loot, gas-zone shipwreck/oil rig or something imo.
Can NVGs be found in crates?
Not that i know of
Want a Top Tier tip for stashing boats?😎:
Find a spot along the coast thats kind of isolated and out the way, a couple of layers of ice shelfs out from the coast and find one that dips into the water and run your boat up on top of it, have two next to each other like in my own private parking spot!😎
I finally got a boat and hit 3 islands and found 2 crates. I did get a DMR so i cant complain but the only other thing was a badly damaged AK 101 with no mag. I did find a filter bottle on one of the wrecked boats. However, the boat travel is risky as hell. Its very hard to keep a line and know where you are heading when there arent any land marks to use. It is definitely high risk but a journey. Just to clarify, i play on Xbox so there isnt a built in map or compass to just use for navigation
The containers contain content
Islands are barely worth it with the current loot spawn. Drive all the way out there for a small chance of getting good gear. Then you need to find the ammo for the guns that ONLY spawn in the containers. Honestly id say an easy fix is to put military bases or camps on the islands that spawn western weapons so the the drive to the islands are worth it
I feel like there should be one guaranteed good thing. Even if it's an FX or good piece of clothing (overwritten if there's like a DMR or smthg), I think that it is good for people to know that they got something useful if they found one. Being unsure if you got a FX or a M4A1 is better than being unsure if you got a Walmart bag or DMR.
quick tip for recording with vehicles, hitting N deafens the noise slightly making it more bearable
Only on some modded servers it's not a feature on official.
@@Marks12 oh damn, shows how much ive played vanilla haha. I was certain it was a basic mechanic of the game.
Found an M4 on my second container, they can be a little disappointing though, need more gun cleaning kits also.
I think it would be cooler if it were military boats instead of containers, u could find more loot on them too to make it actually worth it
says earlier in the video “i think an m4/DMR load out would be great” and gets exactly that LOL
I found one last night and there was a glass bottle and a bottle of water in it :/ , quite disappointing
Take the items, dump them, come back 30 minutes later.
@@olivere5497not even 30 mins, 10-15
OK o found 2 more tonight one with a scientific case, glass bottle and water , one with a dead scientist and case, glass bottle and water
@@mixmasterjay100 which server?
I dont get why they didnt have abunch of eastern gear to add to make up for the NATO gear being so scarce. The airfield being the only real source of good military loot is becoming a real problem as well
I got M1 M4 or what that names were, but when you have no Fishing gear you will die, the great container ship is to the last island is empty no spawn and you risk to fall into the ocean when you are not a climbing pro
spawnpoint of a boat is the haven in the north near the lighthouse
I looted about 20 of them and found 3 M4's, LAR, KA-101 and 3 M16's. Absolutely worth looting
Yesterday I found a boat and drove to every island, I only found 2 containers of all islands, got myself only 1 m4 and 1 full mag, no spare ammo tho. Maybe I plan a trip again haha
Eight. We searched every island and found two. Wasn't worth the effort.
Need boats to actually SPAWN as if i can circle the island 3 times and only find 1 overturned boat is kinda crap in my opinion. Needs to be updated. Thanks.
IF you can find them sure, but finding them is the pain in the backside.
got myself a DMR and a few mags and M4 with 2x60rnd mags and ammo, most of the islands u can get to on foot ice hopping and lil swimming, right clothes are a must
Its dont make sense why can u find nato scope on the main land 🤔 but guns and ammo in container
Yup, it's inconsistent. Both ATOG sights are NATO, the Western Colt 1911 and .45 ammo for it also spawn on the mainland, the Ruger .22 rifle is a Western weapon, .308 hunting rifles and ammo are Western weapons, etc.
the sv 98 is the reason
In one boat run my bro and I found 2 m4s, thump gun, and standard suppresors.
If you happen to find a boat, absolutely yes. Found enough M4/DMRs and ammo to invade Chernarus in these containers.
But the loot progression feels really off on the new map. I found a Savannah in the big T3 city long before remotely feeling ready to hit the bunker gear wise.
And why the hell did they take away my vss/val for the annoying little brother "Vikhr?" It doesn´t even have an integrated silencer, like common.
Too much M16 hate lol, It's a fantastic weapon! Not sure if the islands are worth it because of ammo requirements.
I managed to get a DMR with 2 20rnd mags and an M4 with 2 60rnd mags and a suppressor. Took about 3 hours. Then took on a squad, knocked one, tried to finish him with the M4 only to discover I was lagging hard so not sure if he even died but as I was running away I got insta killed because someone must have been shooting me while I lagged and 'stood still'.
Where do you find gun cleaning kits on Sakhal? I have seen ZERO in all my play.
Nice! My first boat ride was very unfruitful. But it's good to know that there can be stuff out there. How about those cleaning kits?
Lesogorovka, Dolinovka where hunting gear is spawning and police stations
It's all fun and games until someone's camping a container with a thumper...
After two weeks after the release all boats are hidden by players. I checked all civilian and military boat spawn points and found 0. Then, I started to search between ice sheets near the bunker and found 2. We need a wetsuit so we can search for boats in ice sheets efficiently, without lighting fires every 2 minutes. Or to able to reach distant islands without boats, but with this wetsuit
This is why I play maps where vehicles reset on re-starts....
needs to be a drysuit in this environment buddy
I spent hours searching for a spark plug, boat, and then searching the islands. My reward was an M-16, a mag, and 11 rounds of ammo. Definitely not worth it.
after 1.26 bohemia did nice thing whith loot rebalance but now it feels like all of the maps(sakhal mostly) need more weapons because all cherno runs only whith ak74 and its bad
The map needs a lot of work, The Islands are pretty pointless once you get geared.
But great for freshies... it's not all about you dude..
Guess I‘ve been very lucky but I‘ve been doing boat/crate runs on officials four times and every time I found DMRs, M4s and AK101s.
imagine if you could find any loot anywhere. Sure military should have a higher chance but it would be awesome if there was a chance of finding high end gear anywhere. Makes everywhere worth checking and the entire looting mechanic more fun if there could be treasure behind every door or in every pocket. Half the buildings aren't even worth going into atm. Because you know that there will be nothing good in them.
I built a base on the island in the lower right corner, and i am f*ckin stacked 😂
Went all the way to the far island, found one container, with an m16, no magazine and a box of 5.56. Not worth all the trouble and time to get a boat and travel there. What a joke.
8 on the map at once and I can’t find a single one?
🥳 I found 1
If you cant find 5.56 try checking the new odd science labs where you find the briefcase keys. I had a base nearby so i was cycling loot and there is a box of 5.56 often.
I only found one randomly while boating, had and M4 and a 60rd mag, i dont really use the nato weapons so i dont care to much and as the AS VAL unfortunately dosent spawn on sakhal so i dont need the nato night scope ether so nothing really in them to tempt me out to the islands tbh.
Bunker loot is pretty good apart from the SV98 as its easier to get a better hunting rifle inland than going in the bunker for the slightly worse SV98
Good vid as always mate.
All these folk complaining about sakhal, just for a bit of attention 😂 "its too cold" " boats suck" any dribble to draw some comments. Desperados
Great video and I love your stuff but I think expecting to find m4a and dmrs essentially free is wild, I mean they are dynamic like the helis and convoys ig but still
Great vid mate now how and where do you find gun cleaning kits lol
Middle of the map spawns all hutning gear and cleaning kits
Fun Fact: in Cyrillic,
the vowels are basically the same.. just without the I or the U..
.. also..
K,M,O,T are the same,.. like as in K-mart🤣
C is S....sssee?
b is bee, while B is V
3 is Z ..like DayZ will kill you in 3 days😝
P is R,.. like.. Public Relations departments.
There's a few more that are just wonky for English speakers, but the ones listed can get you through most map names.
Hi Marks, do u think Dayz will run better on the ps5 pro? And will it be a enchanced game?
We will have to wait and see!
I did the North islands for x1 DMR +2 mags. 3 556 mags.
Havent found gun cleaning kit at this map...😅
Search the middle of the map!
how many containers spawn approximately?
Think it's 8
I barely find good stuff in the containers on official and boats are hard to find people park them on the islands
I don't know, i feel like these containers are more for serever hoppers from Cherno and Livonia. The idea is good, but it doesn't work when there's no 556 ammo on the map overall. Ima stick to the eastern guns since i'm not a server hopper. Also server hopping shouldn't be a thing. It's the dumbest idea ever.
im not vising those islands at all. 1 container :D
I’ve had ok luck with the containers but I like the lar and the military island is perfect for finding what I need. Still waiting for my m249
I consider them worth the island off the military atoll are pretty good I was able to swim/ climb the ice there just had to stop fish and make a fire ever island watch out for wolfs to but I found a m4 and m16 with 40 round mags so far just from last night
First one I found had a m4 vodka bottle and something else but I cant remember
Like the map, but buggy. Items spawning in weird like inside or on the underside of table and benches, car parts like a “vehicle space” away from the actual vehicle, ladders on cranes buried inside cranes, etc etc hope it gets patched soon
i've noticed those bugs aswell, It's still a new map they will get ironed out!
watching TRMZ most of the time they contain a suppressor, STANAG mag, pouches and a water bottle.
I find the containers to be hit or miss. You're better off hitting Rify. I rode around the southern islands for 3 hours on a boat and got 2 M4s an M16 and some mags. 🤷
ive been wanting to know for a while how do you quick drop from inventory? cant figure it out
shift click
Control left click
@@dharveenmnm tried that and ctrl it dont work
@@corrrupting are you pressing left control?
For me they def are already got all the boys m4 dmr combo and 6 m4 and 8 dmr spare
the first day (launch day) i played official, i swam to the north east islands and the one called Tungar or whatever had 3 crates, I got an M4 and AK101 out of the second crate i found, as i ran the perimeter of the island looking for more, the previous crates respawned their loot! just kept running around until i had 2 full 60rnd mags, all pristine...no DMR but i had a sick M4 and all the ammo you could carry for it! lol
The hard step is to find a boat. :D
Empty vodka bottle and a badly damaged ka 101 with no mag or stock, after hours of drive to each island
I found M4 with supressor and DMR so it seems worth it but I doubt I will find ammo for M4 on main island so I guess M4 is useless. But DMR could be usefull.
Where found the boat?
On the coast!
due to there being no ammo on the map makes it not worth the hassle
Found a DMR and M16 in a container on official server
