[AllMightyKnox 218]

I have no idea, If he was inside he would been followed by zombies lol...

If you drive up to the loot spawns it takes a couple minutes for stuff to spawn. I tend to park 100-200 meters away from where I intend to loot then just walk up ;)

I see, I didn't know this, But now i do =) thanks!

Satchel charge, he can set it off from up to 200m? away, It's pretty beastly. :D

I don't know where he was at honestly, That car he took it from me while i was looting the building i was in. He drove it inside that place, even he ran away zombies would of followed him. Who knows i found it funny because before he took off w/ my car he said "OH HEY LOOK A CAR" and drove away ;D (lmao)

Because you're in a vehicle, when you're in a vehicle and you go to a place such as stary tents you drive up to the tents and notice no loot, that's because the game doesn't spawn loot when you're in a vehicle

a map or compass aren't really needed, you can get your bearings by looking at the clouds, they always drift to the east. so if you position yourself to where the clouds are going from left to right on your screen you are facing north.

If you have a general idea of where you are you can pull up a map online, but if you aren't 100% positive you can end up getting yourself even more lost lol.

Edit: and if you think online maps are cheating, then just print one out and keep it on your desk ;)

Also, when you find those heli crashes, the loot is spread out around the heli in a close proximity, usually up to 4 weapons, or a few weapons and some items/ammo boxs. The loot and chopper locations are determined when the server restarts, if theres nothing on the ground around the chopper someone has already looted it.

thats not true car or not the person always spawns loot around them

I've found some servers just take ages to spawn the loot. I have sat by loot spawns for like 20-30 minutes before it appears.

[AllMightyKnox 218]

20-30min for loot to spawn? I would of left the server if i never found loot :D

Loot and zeds don't spawn when you are in a vehicle. Also it doesn't spawn if you are within 30 metres of it. I think I read somewhere that you have to be between 120 and 30 metres of the spawn point for loot to spawn. It will then take up anywhere between 0 and 10 mins for loot to spawn. As you were in a vehicle you were probably approaching it too fast and then missing the spawn by being within the 30m dead zone.

Are you playing on private hives ? If so you have to wait for an eternity and a day for loot to spawn if your on foot. Never mind in a car :)
