[Discovery] Downed Helicopter Sites II of III [21 Locations]

[Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159]

Location: Central Western Chernarus

Coordinates: Various

Build: Experimental 0.45 & Stable 0.48

 

Our research teams have categorized all downed UH-60 crash sites into 3 zones. In this episode we will cover the central-western zone which has 21 sites.

 

If your looking for western military weapons like the M4A1, flashbangs, grenades, M4A1 attachments and optics...these locations should be noted.

 

Topographical Map w/21 Locations: 4:03

 

Thanks for watching!

Great video again Weyland.  :thumbsup:  I was checking part 1 again yesterday, as I'm probably gonna start a thread for 0.49, on where players found their downed choppers. Since 0.49, the UH-60 crash sites are now share with the Mi-8 crash sites, and they both spawn different loot. (UH-60 = M4, M4 parts, ammo, FNX, etc.  Mi-8 = clothes, helmets, hats, vests, the elusive SMERSH vest, but no guns or ammo)

 

I found 4 crash sites so far on Stable 0.49. 1x UH-60 and 3 x Mi-8. Still on the hunt. B)

 

Can't wait for part 3! Take care Weyland and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Odin! Once SVD's are in I'm betting they will spawn at Mi-8 sites. I found an Mi-8 spawn at NWAF but it was halfway into the ground.

 

 

Someone went through the cfg's and made a map of the current lcoations which have been whittled down to like 54ish.

 

Here is the map:

Nice!! Thanks for the updated map! I've been using the old 0.46 map to check if the locations had changed, but this comes in handy. Boy they really nerfed Balota! Makes sense if you want to make it a civilian airfield. I wonder if we'll eventually see crash sites near Mishkino, since the tents at Balota have been moved there.

 

Anyway, I hope we can play again together sometime soon. I've been lonewolf since a few months back, playing on and off and testing out experimental builds. Take care man! :thumbsup:  B)

 

Edit: Screenshot of the crash I found yesterday. (1st UH-60 I found since 0.49)

Wow, the green moldy stuff looks super cool! Yeah man, any time you want...just let me know! I need to get a shot of the site north of NWAF. The new moldy UH-60's will add a nice touch to the next installment.

Thanks for the vids Weyland!  Very nice!  

 

I've found a number of the Mi-8 crash sites, but a number of those have been partially sunken into the ground.. with no loot.  :/  I have been lucky to find others with loot, but hopefully this will be fixed with an update coming up.

The green effect is due to a lit green chemlight.  :lol:  You can see it on the right side of the screen, under the chopper. I'd love for them to be lit by fire like they use to in the mod, really adds to the atmosphere. (thus the reason why I break all chemlights surrounding crashed choppers!! :P  )

Wow, to my credit I did see that pick way after my bedtime  :D…totally missed the chem. Make chems not war!

In 0.48 I thought more than once of posting a crash site running guide, in terms of maximising reward for effort. but I stopped short for fear that it would encourage the competition....

 

I'm genuinely quite nostalgic about 0.48 crash running, perhaps because after a solid three weeks of doing so I had my longest lived char, and the best gear I've ever had.

 

Great vid, and cute name Weyland.
