🛠️ Loot Adjustment — FOG Equipment Spawn Fix

DayZ November 29, 2025

FOG-related items were previously set with nominal and min values of 0, which prevented them from spawning entirely, even when correctly configured with usage or tier settings.

• Corrected nominal and min values (previously set to 0)
• FOG items are now recognized by the loot economy and actively spawn
• Spawn distribution focused on Military and High-Tier locations
• Ensures items enter the economy instead of being blocked completely

Status:
This update is currently in testing and will be monitored and adjusted further for balance, rarity, and progression based on gameplay performance and feedback.

Impacted Items:
All FOG items

Further refinements will follow as we test spawn behavior across different zones and tiers.
