Vehicle spawning

Recommended Posts

When I search online about vehicles it usually gives multiple spawn points on the map for each vehicle, I look at the DayZ-DB map and try to go to some of those vehicle icons but usually I'll find nothing there. Does this mean that those icons only represents places that MIGHT have vehicle there? And if they ARE there when I check, will it be a working vehicle or it could be one that's very broken and needs heavy repairs?

Helicopters for example, I know that it only spawns 1 heli per server and i believe Skalisty Island is one of the locations, i swam there but see nothing. If I were to keep changing servers then in theory I'll eventually see one there right? And when I do find one will it work? I play with a friend and we could really use a vehicle because of the VERY annoying glitch where the game spawns you back at the coast even though you didn't die and was somewhere else when you last logged off. Happened to both my friend and I like 3 times each now....

The DayZ-DB map shows possible locations for vehicle spawns. Because it is user submission driven, many of the shown spawn points aren't spawn points at all but simply a user having seen a vehicle and submitting it. But the map is a fine resource for information and shouldn't be discarded for use in hunting vehicles. The vehicles may or may not be where the icons represent. Certainly, if a vehicle is spawned at one of the locations you check, it will require repair. No vehicles spawn fully repaired.

Aye there are usually 3-5 possible spawns for 1 type per server so its either repaired already or didnt spawn there.
