Where to find Bizon in DayZ

Bizon is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it PP19.

On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 14 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 11 are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier2 and Tier3.

On Livonia, PP19 does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0).

On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 13 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 10 are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier2 and Tier3.

On Nasdara, the economy keeps about 7 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 5 are left, after waiting 1 h. Each one lasts 8 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Police places. It also comes from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.

Where to look

Military bases, camps and checkpoints (Military)
Police stations (Police)

Loot tiers: Chernarus Tier2, Tier3 and Sakhal Tier2, Tier3. 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.
