Where to find 60rd Standardized Mag in DayZ
60rd Standardized Mag is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it Mag_STANAG_60Rnd.
On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 3 on the map and spawns more when none are left, after waiting 30 min. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in ContaminatedArea places.
On Livonia, the economy keeps about 4 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 2 are left. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier3.
On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 6 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 3 are left, after waiting 2 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 1 on the map (min is 0). Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in MilitaryWest places, in Unique.
Where to look
- Contaminated zones (ContaminatedArea)
- Military bases, camps and checkpoints (Military)
- Special spots of the map (Special)
- Military sites marked MilitaryWest (MilitaryWest)
Loot tiers: Livonia Tier3 and Nasdara Unique. Tier1 is near the coast and Tier4 deep inland, so a higher tier means a longer trip.
