Loot/es



Loot se refiere a cualquier articulo que puede ser encontrado, creado o cosechado y usado por un sobreviviente. Estos articulos se pueden encontrar en casi todos los edificios en los que se puede entrar (ej. casas, hospitales, graneros), dentro y alrededor de varios coches abandonados, y en las inmediaciones de los eventos dinamicos tales como accidentes de helicopteros y/o autos de policia. Tambien pueden ser obtenidos desde otros jugadores y encontrados en los cuerpos de los infectados muertos. Ademas de los articulos que se generan individualmente en el mapa, estos tambien se pueden encontrar dentro de ropa y mochilas y los accesorios de armas pueden generarse aleatoriamente dentro de las armas.

Tipos de Articulos
Para mejorar la organizacion de los más de 900 articulos que hay en DayZ Standalone, cada articulo ha sido ordenado en cuatro categorias primarias de botin basadas en el tipo de articulo que es. Las categorias son: Equipamiento, Comida y Bebestibles,  Recursos y  Armas, ademas pueden ser divididos en subcategorias.

Debajo existe una breve descripcion de cada categoria primaria y los tipos de botin que contienen.

Equipamiento
Articulo Principal: Equipamiento

Equipamiento, la categoria de botin más extensa de las cuatro primarias en DayZ Standalone, contempla cualquier articulo o herramienta que puede ser desgastada y usada para una proposito en especifico. Dado que el equipamiento cubre una gran variedad de tipos de articulos, usos y consumibilidad. Siendo una categoria tan grande y amplia, el equipamiento es dividido en varias subcategorias más pequeñas, las cuales pueden tener sus propias subcategorias, basadas en el uso del articulo principal.

Comida & Bebestibles
Main Article: Comida & Bebestibles

Comida & Bebestibles, una de las cuatro categorias primarias de botin en DayZ Standalone, contempla cualquier articulo o liquido que puede ser consumido por un superviviente para sustento. Usado para reponer la energia y la  Hidratación.

Recursos
Main Article: Recursos

Recursos, una de las cuatro categorias primarias de botin en DayZ Standalone, coontempla cualquier articulo o material cuyo principal proposito es ya sea en la creación de otro objeto o como una fuente de combustible. Adicionalmente, los recursos no se generan como los articulos normales. Estos deben ser cosechados o recolectados desde el Entorno, vegetación,  fauna silvestre o en locaciones especificas alrededor de  Chernarus.

Armas
Main Article: Armas

Armas, una de las cuatro categorias primarias de botin en DayZ Standalone, contempla cualquier articulo manejable que un jugador puede usar para herir o matar la fauna silvestre, los infectados  o incluso otros  Supervivientes. Las Armas ademas incluyen munición,  Accesorios y  Cargadores usados con armas de fuego o otras  armas de rango.

Estadisticas de los Articulos
Main Article: Estadisticas de los Articulos

Las estadisticas de los articulos se refieren en particular a caracteristicas o atributos que un articulo u objeto tiene. Todos los articulos, coches, objetos y structuras en Dayz Standalone tienen un conjunto de estadisticas. A pesar de que hay docenas de estadisticas que un articulo u objeto puede tener, no todos los articulos u objetos pueden tener esa estadistica en particular.

A continuación se encuentra una lista de estadisticas comunes que se encuentran en casi todos los articulos de DayZ Standalone

Estado de un Articulo
Esta es una medida de integridad en los articulos, Estado del Articulo puede considerarse como la Salud de este. Los articulos al igual que los Supervivientes, tienen 100 de  Salud. El estado de un articulo, generalmente, baja con el uso, pero tambien puede ser dañado en combate. A medida que el estado de un articulo comienza a deteriorarse, su apariencia tambien cambiará, reflejando el estado en el que está. El estado de un articulo puede ser visto cuando se selecciona el articulo en el inventario.

Estados
Items in this condition will generally appear new or unused. This condition is largely only possible for items found in the world as loot, since repair kits are not able to repair most items beyond worn condition.

Items in this state are visually indistinguishable from items in pristine condition. There is generally little to no impact on the functionality or use of an item in this condition. This is the best condition an item that has been repaired to.

When an item is in this condition, it will appear heavily used: looking damaged, cracked and scratched. This condition may have some impact on the functionality or use of the item, causing unintended effects or, occasionally, no effect at all.

Well-used items will end up in this condition, which is visually similar to the damaged state. Items in this condition may not be fully functional and frequently fail to work properly. They are on the verge of becoming ruined and, if possible, should be repaired immediately.

Once an item has been used or damaged to the point of becoming ruined, it can no longer be repaired at all and is permanently reduced to near-uselessness. Items in this condition are visually similar to damaged and badly damaged, but will also appear to be discolored or darker than those states. They may no longer be usable, or will cease to function entirely.

Repairing
Main Article: Item Repair

See also: Repair list

In order to combat an item's decline in condition, many items in DayZ Standalone can be repaired. Whether the item was found in poor condition, damaged in combat or even damaged from general wear and tear, as long as the item is not Ruined, it can be repaired.

In order to repair an item a Repair Kit is needed. The type of Repair Kit needed to fix an item is based on the type of item it is. In some cases, if no Repair Kit is available, Duct Tape may be used to repair the item as well.

To repair an item, hold the required Repair Kit in your hands and drag the damaged items onto the Repair Kit. Repairing is a Continuous Action, so the player will need to hold down the Use Action button until the Repair Action is complete. The amount of repair done to the item is based on the Repair Kit that was used and is also affected by the Soft Skill System.

Items that are Damaged or Badly Damaged can be repaired up to Worn, but not Pristine. Ruined items are irreparably damaged and can not be fixed.

Central Loot Economy
Main Article: Central Loot Economy

The Central Loot Economy (often abbreviated "CLE") is DayZ's unique management system for loot spawning and clean-up. It is a complex system of tags, categories, zones, maximums, minimums, averages, and so on. The CLE dictates exactly how many of each item can be present on a single instance of the game at a time (one server), with important factors like randomization and rarity baked in. These values can be adjusted at any time, without requiring players or servers to install a game update.

In addition to controlling how much of each item is present, it also "cleans up" the map by removing items which have become ruined or which have gone untouched for a set amount of time. This function prevents the game from becoming cluttered with useless items, serves players with a continually refreshed pool of available gear, and acts as one method of preventing individual players from having too much influence over the entire server's economy. For more information about how long items stay in place without activity, please see the table below for Persistence.

Loot Spawning
Main Article: Loot Spawning

The first major role of the Central Loot Economy is managing the spawning of loot around Chernarus. In DayZ Standalone rather than having random loot spawn at specific locations around the world, the Central Loot Economy manages every item that can spawn, the amount of the item that can spawn and the locations where the item can spawn. In order to select from the over 10,000 potential spawn locations, every item and building in the game has a set of Category and Location tags that the Central Loot Economy uses to determine which items can spawn at what locations. Additionally, some items have a set of Zones, specific areas on the map, in which they are able to spawn, further increasing the variety of loot around Chernarus.

Once an item's location has been detemined, the Central Loot Economy will then randomly determine the condition the item spawns-in with and, if applicable, attachments or additional items that spawn on or within the spawning item itself.

Using these tags, zones, conditions, attachments or items within the item along with some additional item spawning stats, the Central Loot Economy spawns loot in places that make sense while still allowing for a wide variety of locations or "variants" of the item, ensuring that players get a fresh but not completely random experience each time they loot a building.

Persistence
Main Article: Persistence

See Also: List of Item Cleanup times

The second major role of the Central Loot Economy is commonly refered to as Persistence. When players refer to an item, object or structure as being "Persistent ", what they mean is the item, object or structure does not despawn or move during a server restart and has a very long Item Cleanup time, or the amount of time before an object is despawned by the Central Loot Economy. While Persistence does prevent things like oil barrels and player-made fortifications from despawning, that is only part of what it does. As part of its Persistence System, the Central Loot Economy also manages other "non-persistant" loot that has spawned and performs Item Cleanup where necessary. This aspect of the Persistence System serves to keep fresh loot spawning and prevents the server from getting bogged-down with discarded, ruined or otherwise unused items.

The length of time an item, object or structure is in the world before the Central Loot Economy despawns it, varies based on the object itself. If, at any point, the object is interacted with in any way, its Item Cleanup timer will reset. Essentially, Persistent objects that are regularly used or interacted with will never despawn (assuming they do not become ruined or the server is not wiped).

*Note: Item Cleanup/Persistence time does not apply to anything carried by a player. These items will not despawn.

Inventory System & Storage
Loot can be picked up by pressing the action key ( by default) while looking at it, or from the "Vicinity" window on the left side of the player's inventory screen. From the vicinity window, items can either be dragged and dropped somewhere into the player's inventory or double-clicked to get automatically placed in the first available inventory slot(s). Alternatively, a player can right-click on an item in the vicinity window and select Take or Take to Hands in order to pick it up.

Inventory & UI

Item Size & Weight
See Also: Stamina

Items can be managed and stored in a player's inventory ( by default) or held in their hands. An item's inventory size is represented in rows and columns (e.g. 1x1, 2x3, 4x4) in the inventory screen. Items can be rotated by dragging the item and pressing spacebar.

In addition to size, all items have Weight to them as well. While an item's Weight generally does not change the speed at which a character uses the item (for items that impede movement or actions see: Heavy Items) an item's weight adds to the overall load a survivor is carrying. The more load weight a survivor has, the less maximum Stamina he or she will have available.
