Heli crash loot spots

Recommended Posts

I dont get it. i only ever see about two loot spots at heli crashes when the wiki page says there is usually 6! i understand that they can spawn kind of far away from the helicopter and sometimes stcking out of the ground. but if i spend 10 minutes scanning the ground i never can see more than 2 loot spots. any ideas?

Loot can spawn inside the chopper, crawling under the tail and using 3rd person allows you to see loot trapped inside or under. Alternatively crawling into the open door and aiming at the floor can sometimes prompt the command for loot.

I'll have to keep this in mind next time I'm at a chopper crash. The thing that annoys me the most about these is the ridiculous respawn time on the zeds. I can only get to 1-3 loot spots before they respawn on me.

This guys right about 3rd person and the tail. Also rolling 360 around the chopper to flaten the grass helps. Sometimes there isnt 6 loot piles though. Its luck of the draw really.

i understand luck, but i have never found more than 2 loot spots. sometimes i will kill all the zombies for target practice, go to the chopper with no zed around and look about the heli and not find sh*t

The wiki isnt entirely accurate tbh, for example 1 hour ago i found a crash site with just a m107, 3 mags for it, a akm mag, chemlights heat packs etc. Now i doubt it had been looted as who in their right mind would leave a 1HKO sniper with 3 mags just lying there plus it was in a very remote location you wouldn't bother with unless you were hunting sites. But the other day i found a site with 3 m14s, a Bizon and a FN FAL so... it seems to be random, i guess 6 is the max number of spawn points but the number itself is random.

Six loot spawns but likely only a 40% chance of loot at each spawn.
