Loot spawn intervals

[marksman00048 1]

I have been reading up on the chances of looting certain items such as maps, guns, morphine, ect. and was wondering what are the spawn intervals for loot? I had the unfortunate luck of witnessing another player rush past me in a haste, so I doubled back down his path and found a building he had already looted. in how much time would the loot from the building have returned? do the intervals change depending on location? any information I could get on this topic would be lovely :D

~Thanks~

also I apologize if I posted in the wrong topic

I read on here somewhere it's about 20 minutes.

About 10 minutes i think, as long as ALL the loot has been taken, If you want it to respawn you need to take everything even if you just drop it elsewhere.

Also i think that you might have to back off as well - i dont think the loot will respawn if you just stand there and wait for it. It is probably tied to zombie spawning when you approach a building, deer stand or whatever. So you might have to back off a few hundred metres, though i am not sure i have never hung around and waited.

Interesting. I guess I should start just picking it up and moving it a few feet if I plan to farm certain areas.

Anyone can tell for sure if I need to clear each loot pile for that pile to respawn, or must I clear the entire building?

Hello

In SP the loot time seems to be either very low or based on distance. in MP Ive guestimated about 10 mins.

I dont know why there's a difference.

I find that if one clears a pile completely then that will respawn, rather than having to clear the building.

Me and a buddy were just playing, entered a completely empty supermarket then 30 seconds later all the loot spawned around us. I don't think your characters distance from loot spawns matters. Then again we entered the town on a atv then quickly entered the market and had a 3rd guy on foot that probably spawned the loot while we were inside. I don't really know and am looking for answers

Thanks for the info, Orlok!

I thank all of you for your responses and most of which have been helpful.

I would really like to get one of the game makers or someone who legitimately knows to answer. so keep on guestimating lO hopefully it will bump and someone with real statistics can share :D

thanks again everyone

I think for the above ATV scenario, that the game felt you run within spawn range, but it was still processing the loot and spawns etc. I've had the same happen to me, however I walked there.
