Opening crashed helicopters

Recommended Posts

Well, I've watched a tutorial that was posted here a long time ago...but I've never opened a single crashed heli. I managed to find maybe 10 helicopters, spent like 20-30 minutes on each trying to get inside...never succeeded. Maybe its because of the server I usually play on? Dunno. Any tips?

You cant open them. There is loot scattered around the crash site, but you can never open the heli. Also the loot is very close to the chopper so dont go looking 100m around the heli.

It's a myth.

As I see it, each helicopter crash site spawns three loot piles randomly in a small area around the helicopter. Some piles spawn below the trail, some in the grass around it, some below the floor of the helicopter. You're not actually opening the gear menu of the crashed helicopter, you're just accessing a loot pile somewhere below it.

Not really, It can be opened. There was a thread and a video about it, a lot of people were able to open it.

EDIT: as far as I know..

Well..thats a shame.

He accessed that gear because it spawned underneath the helicopter. Normal.

Most likely a circular trigger is placed below the crashed model and the three loot piles' location is random after each restart.
