Vehicle Information

[gardiner83@hotmail.co.uk 14]

Everywhere i've looked there seems to be an overwelming lack of data on vehicles.

The spawn location are spammed with people finding vehicles left by other players.

How many vehicles are there in total and of each category.

My friend has a theory that the vehicles switch to another predefined location on server restart if not claimed. I disagree, i feel that vehicles when spawned stay there until they're destroyed, then within 1-7 days respawn back to original location?

I know bicycles spawn between electro & cherno lighthouse.

ATV spawn on top of the mountain opposite.

Pickup truck next to meskenco.

2 ATV's on the mountain south of NE airfield.

Heli at the SE island.

Question on heli, will it always spawn at SE island when destroyed or will it swich position?

Also anyone know any other vehicle spawns?

i may turn this into a master vehicle thread if i get enough responses.

BTW these vehicle locations are legit as it was found on my new server.... they're gone now

This should give you all the info you need about the vehicles - click on the individual vehicles and look to the right for "Rarity Common (6-8 per server)" if there are 5 spawns for a helicopter on the map and only chance for 1 to spawn, then I believe it will change between these spawn points if it falls under the criteria highlighted in red below (correct me if i'm wrong someone).

If it hasn't been touched at all I believe it will stay in the same spot, servers only move vehicles back on certain conditions - If a vehicle is unused, bugged or left, it will respawn after a minimum of 7 days.

As for vehicle locations, there are loot maps that contain such information (though I try to avoid using these as it feels a little like cheating :D)

I have found a UAZ at Stary, a van just north of Solnichniy, and a Tractor at Factory. This web page might help http://dayz.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles.

Well wiki says theres a total of 52 vehicles. I do recall from an unknown source that it maximum was like 12 or 16? or is that wrong?

Ok so vehicles which do spawn, spawn randomly in one of these predefined locations?

There is a total of 11 vehicles per server. They spawn randomly.

I'm gonna write a thread about the mechanics of it like i did about the loot system (link in my signature). Will take some time tough as i don't own a server and have to search for the files elsewhere.
