Do unclaimed vehicles spawn when driving around in a vehicle?

Recommended Posts

I read on the wiki that loot and zombies don't spawn while driving around in a vehicle. I was wondering, do unclaimed or broken vehicles also not spawn? I've been riding around on an old bike trying to find another vehicle and havent. I was wondering if this might be why.

Thanks for the help, as always.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that the reason loot/zombies won't spawn when driving through a town in a vehicle is because you enter the town too fast for the server to spawn them before you arrive.

As for the vehicles, I believe they are set to spawn on a timer. From the wiki:

"If a vehicle is unused, bugged or left, it will respawn after a minimum of 7 days"

I have no idea if there is a % chance of them spawning every so many hours after those 7 days, or if they just always spawn exactly 168 hours after the originally spawned vehicle. However, the word minimum implies there is some sort of % chance for them to spawn after a certain amount of time has passed the 7 day minimum.

To answer your question, unclaimed/broken vehicles should be spawned regardless if you are near them or not. This is why people can server hop at the chopper spawns until they find one they can fix, for example.
