- Industrial areas: factories, warehouses and garages (Industrial)
- Villages and small settlements (Village)
Loot tiers: Chernarus Tier1, Tier2, Livonia Tier1, Sakhal Tier1 and Nasdara Tier1, Tier2. 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.
