Where to find 20rd Mag-C Mag in DayZ
20rd Mag-C Mag is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it Mag_CMAG_20Rnd.
On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 8 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 5 are left. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier3 and Tier4.
On Livonia, the economy keeps about 10 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 7 are left. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier2 and Tier3.
On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 12 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 9 are left, after waiting 30 min. 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 14 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 12 are left. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in MilitaryWest places, in Tier3.
