Where to find Combat Backpack in DayZ

Combat Backpack is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it TortillaBag_Desert.

On Chernarus, TortillaBag_Desert does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0). It can still come from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.

On Livonia, TortillaBag_Desert does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0). It can still come from dynamic events such as helicopter crashes.

On Sakhal, TortillaBag_Desert does not spawn as random loot (nominal 0).

On Nasdara, the economy keeps about 20 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 16 are left. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier3.

Where to look

Military bases, camps and checkpoints (Military)

Loot tiers: Nasdara 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.
