Where to find KA-101 in DayZ

KA-101 is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it AK101.

On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 4 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 2 are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier3 and Tier4.

On Livonia, the economy keeps about 2 on the map and spawns more when none are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Underground places, in Tier3.

On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 3 on the map and spawns more when none are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Special places. It also comes from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.

On Nasdara, the economy keeps about 3 on the map and spawns more when none are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in MilitaryEast places. It also comes from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.

  • Underground bunkers (Underground)

Tier1 is near the coast and Tier4 deep inland. "Counts" lists where copies count towards nominal: count_in_map means copies lying in the world, count_in_cargo in containers, count_in_hoarder in tents, barrels and stashes, count_in_player on players. Every value is explained in DayZ types.xml explained.
