How long does loot take to respawn?

[Verkaa 2]

I have been searching for quite awhile now on how long does loot take to respawn on servers, now I know that when a server restarts the loot respawns etc etc, but I have been doing some research upon the topic and found a post by a player that if you empty out a looting area. e.g Barracks, Move 100-150metres from the area and then wait 10-15mins that the loot would respawn, I tried this we were about 200metres out and had waited 16+mins (Timed 16 but it took a minute or so to get back) yet the loot had not respawned? Many thanks if you can answer this :)

Please note we emptied out everything including the Trash loot.

Depends, but yea 15 min. If it doesn't spawn maybe theres something wrong.. I honestly don't know... You're better off going 200 meters away and then logging out for 15 min and then heading back..

Yeah I will do that next time, the person said that the server choices how long loot respawns also, so maybe it was just a server with a 30min respawn time? Ohwell but I am desperate for some NVG I like to raid towns during the night, but if I could raid turns in servers with no moon light (Or cloudy hiding the moon, that would be awesome) :D Nothing is better than running around towns without a worry in the world because Zombies have issues hearing/seeing you in the dark!
