Pristine-Loot Guide (Loot Damage Fix)

Overview

By default, DayZ spawns loot in varying conditions — worn, damaged, even ruined. This guide shows you how to force all loot to spawn pristine by editing cfgspawnabletypes.xml and globals.xml.

---

Step 1 — Edit cfgspawnabletypes.xml

Go to cfgspawnabletypes.xml and find all damage lines like:

<damage min="0.0" max="0.32" />

Option 1 — Remove damage

Delete the <damage> lines completely.

Option 2 — Custom damage values

Adjust using the condition scale:

| Condition | Value Range | |---|---| | Pristine | 0.00 – 0.29 | | Worn | 0.30 – 0.59 | | Damaged | 0.60 – 0.79 | | Badly Damaged | 0.80 – 0.99 | | Ruined | 1.00 |

---

Step 2 — Edit globals.xml

Go to DB > globals.xml and find:

<var name="LootDamageMax" type="1" value="0.82"/>
<var name="LootDamageMin" type="1" value="0.0"/>

Change to:

<var name="LootDamageMax" type="1" value="0.0"/>
<var name="LootDamageMin" type="1" value="0.0"/>

This forces items to spawn pristine.

Step 3 — Apply Changes

You can either:

• Wipe existing loot (fastest)
• Or wait for loot to naturally cycle out

---

Final Notes

• Removing damage = cleaner, higher-quality loot
• Globals settings override most spawn behavior
• Always restart your server after changes
