Where to find MK II in DayZ

MK II is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it MKII.

On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 30 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 27 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town and Village places, in Tier1 and Tier2.

On Livonia, the economy keeps about 38 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 35 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Village places, in Tier1 and Tier2.

On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 32 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 26 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Village places, in Tier1 and Tier2.

On Nasdara, the economy keeps about 37 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 24 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town and Village places, in Tier1.

Where to look

  • Towns and cities (Town)
  • Villages and small settlements (Village)
  • Inside, it lies on shelves and tables.

Loot tiers: Chernarus Tier1, Tier2, Livonia Tier1, Tier2, Sakhal Tier1, Tier2 and Nasdara Tier1. Tier1 is near the coast and Tier4 deep inland, so a higher tier means a longer trip.

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.

What MK II spawns with

From cfgspawnabletypes.xml: each group spawns with its chance, and one of its items is picked.

Nasdara

  • Spawns with damage between 0.25 and 0.5 (0 is pristine, 1 ruined).
  • Attachments, 70% chance: Mag_MKII_10Rnd (1)
