are helicopter crashes spawning more often now?

Recommended Posts

lately while I've been day z me and my friend taco have been bumping into more and more helicopter crash sites just racking up on the high tier weapons, I'm all for the high tier loot but are these just becoming a common site in day z,

PS: does anyone actually know for sure if you can find night vision goggles on pilot zombies I heard a while ago but no luck,

it's most likely RNG messing with your mind. i found 3 crashes within 500 meters the other day though. spent the last week out north raiding tents and looking for sites and i don't remember ever finding NVGs off a pilot. found them on the ground by the chopper though. maybe it was spawned there, maybe someone dropped them there.

pilots have a very very small chance of having NVG's on them.

barracks NVGs are 0.11

and pilot are apparently a fraction of that

so 0.000000000000000000000001

so rare that nobody on the forums have found them and the only reported case is some random kid writing on a wiki

Ive found them once on heli crash pilot. Ive found them twice on military Zombies at Deer stands.

thank you MR. buffjesus that actually answered another question of mine, so if they spawn in groups of 2-6 I gotta start looking for more chopper crashes,
