Guns at heli crash have at least 1 attachment on it or a mag on it

I mean the helis carried soldiers and soldiers prolly had a mag or attachment on it. What yall think

sounds cool. right now the incentive is rather low to search for helicopters. for the future this would be great. differently kitted m4s from helis? I like it.

It's already been stated in the status report, that eventually, Hicks said, weapons with possible attachments could have already some attached to them, including mags, with some ammo or not in them. 

At crash sites, maybe, but they all eventually will share those possibilities, not just crash sites.

 

Personally, I've been crash sites hunting again since them returned to their dynamic status in 0.58, and I love it. Players tend to server hop the "officer's tent" and it's pretty annoying, so instead, crash site hunting is a great alternative, and right now, since "everyone" is server hopping, they pack lots of goodies. Also, with the current "non-respawning loot" bug, some private hive servers just don't spawn anything anymore in the "officer's tent", so again, the dynamic crash sites can provide you with anything you want.  B)

 

Edit: This is further backed by the fact that you'll need to go to a specific building holding a workbench to modify weapons, and attach various stocks, grips and what-not using the right tools. Work in progress.

Alright, maybe its time to shed some light on this. The reason those stop spawning anything is because people attempt to loot cycle and end up dropping like 20 cmags, a couple FNX's, a couple UMPs and all that kinda shit somewhere in a 100m circle around the tent. Since none of these despawn within a short amount of time like shirts etc, the max threshold of the tents has been hit by that.

To circumvent this restriction?

Place pistols and mags in whatever shirts you find, place smgs in hicap vests. They will despawn shortly after.

This - I have fully geared up several times just running along the larger strips of crash sites, meanwhile I see people popping in and out of the servers I play on no doubt jumping from tent city to tent city 8P

makes sense to me. I'd be for partial full mags or in case of shotgun one live round and in rare case a full mag it would just spice things up I think give people a reason to loot explore as well as get excited when they get lucky.

Yep, I know this. But again, it's still a bug, as all items will have despawn timers ticked when moved or interacted by players.

 

I don't loot farm, so knowing how to "bypass" the bug won't help me in any way, it just encourages the server hoppers. Then again, I mostly play on private hives, so not much server hoppers problem there.  ;)

 

 

Back on topic, like Gannon said, I too would like to see the new weapons spawn system running up soon, with chances to find weapons with already attached mags and maybe some rounds. It'll make things pretty interesting and more immersive, at least for me.

When all is said and done most combo's you can think of for weapons would more than likely take place i would say.. In light of what the topic is about
