Where to find Field Vest in DayZ
Field Vest is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it UKAssVest_Camo.
On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 5 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 3 are left, after waiting 30 min. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places.
On Livonia, the economy keeps about 5 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 3 are left, after waiting 30 min. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places.
On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 5 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 3 are left, after waiting 30 min. Each one lasts 4 h when nobody touches it. It spawns in Military places, in Tier2 and Tier3.

Where to look
- Military bases, camps and checkpoints (Military)
- Military sites marked MilitaryWest (MilitaryWest)
Loot tiers: Sakhal Tier2, Tier3 and Nasdara Tier1, Tier2. Tier1 is near the coast and Tier4 deep inland, so a higher tier means a longer trip.
