Where to find SCR 17 in DayZ
SCR 17 is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it SCARH_Black.
On Chernarus, SCARH_Black does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0).
On Livonia, SCARH_Black does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0). It can still come from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.
On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 2 on the map and spawns more when none are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Special places. It also comes from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.
On Nasdara, SCARH_Black does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0).

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.
