Where to find Sneakers in DayZ
Sneakers is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it Sneakers_Green.

On Livonia, the economy keeps about 15 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 5 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town and Village places.
On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 9 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 6 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town and Village places, in Tier1 and Tier2.

Where to look
- Towns and cities (Town)
- Schools (School)
- Villages and small settlements (Village)
- Inside, it lies on the floor.
Loot tiers: Sakhal Tier1, Tier2. Tier1 is near the coast and Tier4 deep inland, so a higher tier means a longer trip.
