All Armband Designs & Where to Find Flags in DayZ 1.18

You can now turn the 30 different flags into armbands using a knife. These armbands keep the pattern of the flag so players can identify factions on their server by the logo of the armband they have.
Because of this I've created a guide to how armbands and flags work in DayZ, where to find flags, and other info about armbands including how to craft rag armbands and the new raincoat armband models and textures in DayZ 1.18.

WOBO is a gaming community centered around #DayZ and similar survival games. I provide tips, guides, how to videos and the newest content in DayZ. My videos focus on educating players of the DayZ gaming community to learn more about DayZ. Thanks for watching!

[UPDATE] Flags can be found in many more locations than just hunting locations. Shops and schools are popular locations.

What are the hight limits on building a flagpole? I’ve seen one inside of a barn before poking out of the roof, but I could never get mine to fit :(🐸

[@Knggoat777]

Anywhere you know that can show us the new flags that were added in 1.23.

[@Rustycaddy17]

Fun Fact: I designed the flags of the Chernarussian Defense Forces, Flag of Chernarus, and the flag of the National Party for DayZ, they're not my creations as they're from Arma 2. However I recreated them with a higher resolution, as the ones from Arma 2 were super low resolution and had washed out colors. The Devs took them from the DayZ Wiki, which is where I uploaded them.

[@2ndTooth]

I like this but I always hated armbands cause they looked like diapers on your arm. Never understood why they made them so thick lol

[@zanth6577]

Because most of the armband model was hidden under the arm model, unless you were naked. I think they just made them scale properly now.

[@2ndTooth]

the flags spawning also in offices at the front main door and the roof , also inside shops on the tables and on the floor of the storage rooms.The sewing kit is indeed getting used but by damage, the more white armbands you craft with the sewing kit the more it get damaged until it will get runied.

imagine you can craft improvised face masks with the patern of flags wooooow

I like the armbands that are coming because they'll blend in with many clothes and not just have one distinct color like the raincoats armbands.

[@devilsknock7957]

WOBO, using the sewing kit on rags to make armbands increases damage level of the sewing kit itself. Most likely BI called the wrong script.

[@WOBO]

Well spotted!

[@TunnelSnakes_Rule]

can you clarify flags spawning in 'hunting locations'? I don't play a lot of basebuilding servers but I feel like they spawn in shops and schools and stuff, did they change it?

[@WOBO]

Yeah they spawn in many locations. I was using out dated info

[@sirbunny25]

So I thought I had the pirate arm band. Turns out it’s the cannibal one 🤦‍♂️

[@Sturmbannfuhrer21]

Would be cool if they made it possible to craft flags somehow. Maybe if spray paint ever made a comeback.

[@rustyneedles3743]

So, how do you get the arm bands to be slim, unlike the "thick" ones that look like you literally have an entire flag wrapped around your arm? is it simply by just wearing no shirt? cause, well, that would be all too typical of the developers huh ...

[@2ndTooth]

I think t-shirts make it slim but I could be wrong

[@rustyneedles3743]

@@2ndTooth yeah, that's what I'm thinking, or lack of t-shirt and just the under garment, I personally think the thinner versions look so much better

[@sagpanda5146]

is that new slim armband a newer model? if so why did they make fat versions of the flag armbands aswell

[@2ndTooth]

The flat model is only visible when wearing no shirt at all, it's always been like that for some odd reason. I think t-shirts make it look slim too, when I get on later I'll test it.

it isnt decreasing the normal hunting loot that spawns there that will stay the same flags will now just spawn in the empty spots that hunting loot didnt fill.

[@tristanrosen396]

@@comic_the_ace great, how do you know this?

[@comic_the_ace]

@@tristanrosen396 hunting loot has a base spawn chance so lets say purely for an example its a 30/20 meaning 30 max can spawn of x item and atleast 20 will spawn of x item so adding in z item will not effect the spawn chance of x item. and since z item is not a hunter item it will never take prio over a hunting item so if they game has to pick wether to spawn a flag or hunting item in that spot it will always choose the hunting item in hunting locations, summer camps, hunting stands, etc and will only spawn the flag when all hunter items have been spawned then it will take into account flag spawns. if you need clarifaction of anything please let me know
