Choppers

[BroskyBro 21]

Hi, so far since yesterday I have found about 4 choppers, all of them without anything. Just a question, am I just having bad luck and people come by and take everything without having to drop stuff or is this a bug?

When this " improvement " happened I cranked up my server and went hunting for the birds.

Only thing of use I found was a freakin rangefinder.

Some handguards were in place as well but that's pretty much it. If I didn't have my ammo boxes or protective cases before the " update " I'd be pretty upset.

all i found out of 3 or 4 helos was a Dallas mask and a AK buttstock

Pre-0.55 (and since around 0.49), they only really worked on persistence off servers. Now persistence is mandatory, the suspicion is we can wave goodbye to chopper loot for a while.

 

The crash sites will exist, and the loot may spawn after the Wednesday maintenance, but after that it either doesn't spawn at all, or just one item at a time.

 

Plus it seems that the crash sites are persistent, so everyone will find them and camp them.

It looks like choppers will not spawn expected loot until 0.56 at the earliest.

 

Per Eugen:

I explained that in original post, every item except guns is not configured to proper building/area. This change requires a client update so its scheduled to 0.56

*sigh* choppers are rare, why ruin them?
