Downed Choppers

[HTTP (DayZ) 1]

Not sure if a bug or what, but everytime I've found one they've maybe had one gun or none at all and now there's always tin cans. I remember before i found choppers than always had atleast 3 weapons. Anyone else noticed this ?

yeh find faster and look under the chopper. sometimes the loot is hidden in the grass on under the tail. be careful while proning about though the chopper ate me once and i almost died.

I found two choppers that was like 100m apart and none of them had items other than one medical crate..

It was night on the server and it might been looted before me, but I doubt it because of the location and the unpopulated server.

Follow a server that has a good admin who keeps tabs on things. Find out when he resets and be the first charging through the most common areas of old field,stary/novy and near the NWAF. I've found 4 in an hour thanks to searching prior to and after a restart. Then there are days where they drop in out of the way oddball places that take hours to find even with a vehicle. For the most part the center of the map and south of NWAF is the place to be.

I've scored great loot and trash loot. Sometimes all I find are FAL's and M14's. Other days I walk away with ghillie suits,50 cals,SD weapons and NVG's. Its totally random.
