Summary
DayZ's start is notoriously tricky, as players must acquire new items from scratch to build their load-outs. Optionally, server administrators can set a series of items as starting equipment so every new character will spawn with the designated items in their inventory. In addition to setting starting items, administrators can also adjust the Loot Spawns for the server, this allows them to fine-tune the exact experience they want for their server by making specific loot more or less common.
