IIIpl4sm4III Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 So today, I spent some time at NWAF farming policeman zombies whilst the server was dead (Like late at night) to see if I could obtain one of these elusive "Hot-wire Kits" After about killing like 30 zombies I gave in and looked up what the EXACT chance it is to drop, no luck. Anyone know this, aside them being "Really rare"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Wow, you killed 30 zombies. :rolleyes: You'll find one in about 90 or 100 zombies killed, given you kill the right ones. If you don't its more like one in 600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipemr Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I only found one in more than 300 hours on epoch. they're so rare that i tough they had removed it on some of the last patches, then i was in balota hanging around and bumped into one, just to be killed by an entire clan afterwards. sadface.

IIIpl4sm4III Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 "ItemHotwireKit" 0.03% drop rate What the fuck. Should at-least be farm-able, like 0.60%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr1nk Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 "ItemHotwireKit" 0.03% drop rate I think 0.03 --> 3%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel the Jackle Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I had a friend find four of them in a week. I have yet to find one after almost 6 months of playtime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercules Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 What the fuck. Should at-least be farm-able, like 0.60%. Technically .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% is farm-able, it just takes more tries. I think 0.03 --> 3%. I think 0.03% = 0.03%. cen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr1nk Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 The math doesn't make sense if it's 0.03% https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgLoot/CfgLoot.hpp epochu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Multiply 0.03 by 100 and you have the percentage. Then facepalm from being silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercules Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I know how to do percents... What does it say though. Does it say .03 or does it say .03%? There is a HUGE difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmidach Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 tried to spawn one of these into my toolbelt but it didn't work. does it go into your inventory or the toolbelt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipemr Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 tried to spawn one of these into my toolbelt but it didn't work. does it go into your inventory or the toolbelt? inventory. it's a consumable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epochu Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 There actually is a way to somewhat farm hotwire kits - mass graves and helo crashes. Park a helo just over 30m away from them and they will continue spawning zombie pilots that can't hit you. I realize the percentages are the same, and It might just be coincidence, but I seem to find them more on pilots than on cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
