BUIS Optic: The BUIS, or Back Up Iron Sights, only attaches to the M4A1 in the optic/sight attachment slot. This means it can't be used as an iron sight in addition to having an optic attached. BUIS are not considered to be a great sight in DayZ, but having it attached is better than having no sights at all as the back up iron sights boost stats slightly. The BUIS's sole purpose is to allow players to customize their iron sights and improve the accuracy of the M4. A Back Up Iron Sight attachment for the M4 in DayZ is called the BUIS Optic. When firing the M4-A1, especially in close to mid-range encounters, it helps to provide a more exact aim compared to having just the stardard iron sights. For survivors who desire to increase their accuracy, it boosts weapon accuracy stat bonuses for firearms. Learn more about the BUIS Optic |
About DayZ Loot
Where loot in DayZ spawns is a mysterious topic that has left many players searching the wrong locations for gear. The DayZ Loot Finder Tool was developed to help players find all types of loot in DayZ, and help new and old players learn more about where loot spawns and how the spawning of loot works.
To find the loot you are looking for, simply type any DayZ item in the search box above where it asks you to type a loot name.
Try a variety of possible item names to find your desired loot as there can be various names for a certain piece of loot and names can change over time. However, you can also search by Category(Weapons, Clothes, Tools, etc) and by Loot Tag(Military, Industrial, Hunting, etc) to narrow results a bit.
When you have found the loot you are searching for, click its loot name and you will be shown all of the related information about that piece of loot and shown a loot map of where the item spawns with its spawn points highlighted in yellow.
This tool was scripted and styled by WOBO, with guidance from u/helpthedeadwalk and u/Sagpanda.
DaOne later improved this tool by increasing the accuracy of map loot locations.
Kuzyn provided the initial Sakhal background map.

Coast:
Coast loot areas commonly have loot related to water, such as fishing equipment, waterproof bags and raincoats. While called "Coast", this loot tag can be found away from coastal areas.
Some items with the Coast loot tag:Dry Bag Yellow, Raincoat Pink, Flaregun, Raincoat Green, Sea Chest, Waterproof Bag Orange, Raincoat Red, Fishing Rod, Hockey Helmet Black & Raincoat Black All Coast Loot |
Contaminated Area:
Contaminated Areas are the static gas zones that never move location and spawn NBC infected. These areas contain better than average loot due to how you will need an NBC suit and gas mask to not die very quickly to the lethal gas that surrounds these areas.

Some items with the Office loot tag: Flag White, Alarm Clock Red, Zagorky Peanuts, Flag NSahrani, Flag Bohemia, Flag SSahrani, Alarm Clock Blue, Flag Cannibals, Pajka & Flag Altis All Office Loot |

Underground:
The Underground loot tag is only assigned to loot in the bunkers of Livonia and Sakhal. An item with the Underground loot tag can be split into the three floors of the bunker on Livonia, or it can spawn in any location within the bunker if it does not have a floor restriction. Floor restrictions work like tiers, with rarer items spawning in the more difficult to access floors. You will need a Punched Card to enter the Livonian bunker unless someone opens the bunker from the inside for you. The bunker on Sakhal requires no special item to access, but if you want to open the 4 doors inside, you will need to power the doors from a nearby building with a generator inside.

Some items with the Special loot tag: Dark Moto Helmet Yellow Scarred All Special Loot |
| - Explanations - |
| [Category]: The category the selected item is in. There are very few loot categories encompassing all loot in DayZ. Some of these loot categories include Weapons, Clothes, Tools and Explosives. Only one loot category is on each piece of loot in DayZ. |
| [Rarity Score]: A score relative to the easiest piece of loot to aquire and the selected piece of loot to aquire. Score goes from 0 to 100(the lower the rarer). An average of all loot in DayZ is then used to give the loot a rank(Extremely Rare, Rare, Slightly Rare, Uncommon, Average, Common, Very Common and Extremely Common). This scoring system should only be used to quickly assess the rarity of an item, and may not always be accurate. |
| [Maximum Per Server]: The maximum number of this loot found on a vanilla DayZ server(not modded). |
| [Minimum Per Server]: The minimum number of this loot found on a vanilla DayZ server(not modded). |
| [Loot Location]: The Loot Tags that are assigned to the current piece of loot. Loot Tags are assigned to buildings/structures, these are highlighted in yellow on the loot map above. |
| [Restrictions]: Some loot is restricted to certain areas or tiers. This can reduce the number of spawn points the selected item can spawn at and/or limit the loot to certain areas. The higher the tier, the rare the loot tends to be. However, some restrictions don't include tiers, such as limiting spawns to heli crash sites, dynamic trains and unique areas. |
| [Despawns]: How long after spawning the piece of loot will disappear. Picking up and/or interacting the piece of loot will reset this timer. Raised Flag Poles can be used to reset these times too. |
| [Loot Map]: The Loot Map displays the locations the selected item spawns in yellow. This is based on the Loot Tags assigned to that item and any Restrictions that item may have. Loot Maps for Loot Tags are manually created and may not always be accuracte or complete. |
| [Search Box]: The search box searches the database live for items that match your query, but it also tries to match the category and loot tags of items too. For example, "weapons" shows all items with the "Weapons" category tag in DayZ, while "military" shows all items with the "Military" loot location in DayZ. |
