How to Spawn and Generate Item Drops in Unturned Survival Game

Introduction

Unturned is an open-world zombie survival game where you scavenge for supplies, craft items, build bases, and battle zombies to survive. As a multiplayer game, there are both PvE and PvP elements as you cooperate or compete with other players.

Mastering spawning items and optimizing item drop rates are key skills for effective base building, gearing up, and dominating both PvE and PvP combat. This guide will teach you everything you need to know.

Enabling Cheats for Singleplayer

To spawn items or alter drop rates in singleplayer:

  • Launch a singleplayer game
  • Enable cheats by checking the “Enable cheats” box on the map details screen before loading the map

Once enabled, you can use the following console commands:

Spawning Items

To spawn an item, use:

/give [item ID]

For example, to spawn an Alicepack:

/give 253

Some common item IDs:

  • Eaglefire (assault rifle): 1090
  • Alicepack (backpack): 253
  • Medkit: 3
  • Blowtorch: 76
  • Metal sheets: 1091

See this item ID list for all items.

You can also spawn vehicles using:

/vehicle [vehicle ID]

Generating Item Drops

Loot drops contain rare cosmetic skins for weapons and clothing. To increase drop rates:

Increase Overall Loot Abundance

In the World Options menu, increase the “Item Abundance” slider. This makes more items spawn across the map.

Alter Item Respawn Timer

The “Item Respawn Time” controls how quickly containers like lockers, crates, and zombies regenerate loot after being opened. Lower values make loot respawn faster.

Default is 600 seconds (10 minutes). Try reducing to 300 seconds for faster respawns.

Boost Loot Quality

The “Item Quality Probability” controls the chance of a spawned item being high quality (indicated by a star). Set this to 100% to guarantee all loot is maximum quality.

Optimizing Drops and Loot Runs

  • Focus loot runs on police stations, gun stores, and military locations like missile silos. These have the highest chances for rare weapon and clothing skins.
  • Build a base with storage near high yield loot areas to efficiently deposit gear between runs.
  • Use vehicles like cars and helicopters to quickly move between locations.
  • Team up with other players to take on deadlier zones and carry more gear. Make sure to evenly split drops!
  • When playing on harder difficulties, optimize your survival stats so you can battle through contested areas. Level up combat and exercise skills.

Conclusion

Learning to effectively spawn items and boost drop rates transforms Unturned from a grindy survival game into an epic base building and PvP sandbox. Use these techniques to skip the early game grind and get right into unleashing chaos across the zombie apocalypse!
