diddums 3760 Posted April 14, 2013 Hello,Started playing about 2-3 weeks ago, stuck pretty much exclusively to the west side of the map. Hadn't seen a single heli crash. Today I stuck around on the East side, came across 4 crash sites in about an hour. Is this normal? It was on a pub server. Also, 3 of them had an SVD Camo with no ammo. Again, is this normal?Cheers!

Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted April 14, 2013 The loot is always different, 3 SVDs is pretty good. Heli crash sights spawn anywhere in the northern section up north, but if it spawns east or west, that's random. So you finding 4 heli crashes out east was just where they spawned on that reset.Best of luck, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death_Dealer 3155 Posted April 14, 2013 Odd, I usually find heli crashes on the west side, not the east. Where they spawn is completely random though.I've also noticed a much higher spawn rate of SVD camos. Apparently there's an issue with some heli crashes spawning the wrong weapons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooly-back-jack 294 Posted April 14, 2013 they spawn in random places and with random loot, sometimes they spawn quite close together area wise.I have noticed myself that there seems to be quite a lot spawning without ammo but ammo is easy to find. (some crash sites also have an ammo box) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joinnkakashi@gmail.com 31 Posted April 14, 2013 I have typlically found really far up north away from points of interest, such as the Airfields 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azziax 81 Posted April 15, 2013 Most of the crash site spawns are in the region between NWAF (Northwest Airfield) and Stary Sobor. Stretching a little bit south of Stary. However its completely random where they pop up when the server restarts. Some restarts you wont see a single one and other times you come across 3/4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BANANA (DayZ) 3 Posted April 15, 2013 I also tend to find most crash sites between stary and NWAF, mostly find them on the west side of the map never got much luck on the east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerribleFate 49 Posted April 15, 2013 One time I found an LMG in a crash site. Only 1 extra mag though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy one 124 Posted April 15, 2013 My last 2 heli crash sites i found, one contained an SVD camo and 1 mag, the second was a Bison SD with 2 mags both in fields that lead upto Novy Sabor. other than that never been lucky with heli crash sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
