Mod:Loot

Loot refers to items that can be found at loot spawn positions in most enterable buildings in DayZ, such as houses, hospitals, army barracks, and barns. Players can store loot in their inventory, backpacks, tents, and vehicles. Death results in a player's body being lootable, while their backpack remains usable. A player will not keep their items after death, a form of permanent death. Loot is accessed using the gear menu (default G) while under certain conditions, such as when a player faces a loot pile or when a player is positioned in the correct location around a vehicle. Tents are also accessed using the gear menu.
