Slow crash site spawns

[Zambizi 16]

So just wondering (and I've done a few searches for info on this) does all the loot at a crash site spawn at once?

I ask because my mate and I after not finding any crashes sites for our first month, are now just about tripping over them now that we've figured out how to look for them.

5 sites in about 6 - 7 hours played time now we had the same thing happen.

There has been an initial spawn of a medical box, we've then checked the grass all around the chopper to find nothing else (including scrolling for things spawned under the groud).

But then we've had weapons start spawning after our initial sweep. An example. We picked up our first ghillie suit from a crash, then walked around the chopper 2 or 3 times checking for more loot other than the medical box, and then we've had a SAW spawn where the suit was.

Have also had other weapons spawn where previously there had been none.

TLDR, Is there a delay on the spawn of items, or do they appear at the same time as the crash site? Should we hang around the area longer?

If you pulled up at the site and dismounted from a vehicle, only then does the spawn timer start so it can take a bit to spawn loot. This only applies if you dismount from a vehicle.

Nope all of this has been on foot, but does that mean there is a spawn timer and it doesn't spawn all at once?

So possible bug? or working as intended? hrrmmmm
