[VFE] VANILLA FIREARMS EXPANSION (B41)
Unamelable 8 Dec, 2023 @ 11:48pm
Vanila Firearms doesn't spawn AK-47 anywhere (VFE added from start)
I have a problem where i looted like every corner of the Kentuky with firearms. And in every military supplies + blockpost on Louisville i didn't found AK47 (But found 2 tactical CAR's). Is like REALLY rare or something? Because im playing with "low vanila" mods so its not gonna look like Brita's mess.

And most disturbing that i have like tons of magazines with AK but don't have AK itself. And oh boy, you know when its coming to take full collection of items you pursuit to.

If you need more info i always can add it.

It is extremely rare, it's entirely possible you will never find one if you don't have zombies respawning. (hint)

ok bigger hint, the one "prepper zombie" surrounded by many others on the main roads, has a chance to spawn many of the rarer weapons.

Also there like ANY chance to loot AK in houses? You remember distribution table?
ak spawns in "closets" in residential buildings, not wardrobes (its on the spawn table). however i've never managed to find any so i had to spawn with debug
if u want to find a lot of rifles i think you're better off with brita's weapon mod ...

Yeh I've noticed the spawns for gun related items seems..off? I dk which mod does it though. Like, in police stations and gun lockers I find a ♥♥♥♥ ton of ammo but very little guns. I find gun modifications, ammo, and the guns clip/magazine but not the gun itself. Found 2 AK mags in two different gun stores but no AK guns lol. You'd think if the mags were there then the gun would be there too, but no lol :steamsad:

I want to note: It's not like this with the rare guns only, it's like that with ALL guns.

Only if the game had a setting where you can change the spawn rates of various types of items in the game to your liking.

No seriously it exists. Just tune sandbox loot rarity settings to be what you want.

So, I know, and I did change the settings in sandbox since sanbox is all I play but I'm still mostly getting ammo instead of weapons, which is why I mentioned it too... no need to be a smart ass xD

I mean, when someone arrives with a complaint that's similar to "my TV is too loud" I'm not entirely sure how to react. You have all the tools to solve this issue.

I've spent a lot of time testing the spawn rates. On default settings the spawn rates are as similar to vanilla as I can get it.

Hey, bro. I had the same damn problem, so to speak. What I realized? That weapons such as the Spas 12 and Ak, as well as other rare or very rare weapons appear in areas of the map where the density of weapon appearances is very high. Be careful, you won't find them in gun stores (it wouldn't make sense that in 1993 you would find aks in a place like that :v). Anyway, the point is that one place where these weapons always appear is the military personnel apartment complex on March Ridge, below Rosewood. In all my games I like to go get more weapons, I always find at least 1 or 2 AKS. MP5, etc. I hope the information is useful to you. Be careful, I play with an extremely rare or rare lot. Short and long range weapons, as well as ammunition, are not lacking in this area. At least arrive with 150 shotgun bullets to clear the area.

You could find AKs in 93 about as often as you could ARs if not more often. They were cheap and so was the ammo. It's a big part of how they got popular. The assault weapons ban wasn't until 94, iirc. As for not being popular in rural KY, I grew up in the south and rural people love them some guns. AKs and SKS' were about as popular as "pappys bolt action". They were a lot more common than ARs where I lived.

My biggest issue is that the military locations still primarily spawn 1911s and 45 ammo, rather than m9s and 9mm. That and finding more M14s than M16s. The M9 had been in service for almost a decade when this takes place, and the M14 had been phased out over 20 years prior.

It would make more sense for the PDs to be spawning 1911s and 45 ammo, and the Military places to be spawning M9s and 9mm. To bring it back around to topic, AKs should also be more common. As well as stock piles of ammo...if we are going for realistic for 93 rural KY.
