Helicopter spawn points & frequency

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find some definitive information on where working/repairable helicopters spawn. On my server, some players repaired the one that spawned on Skalisty Island and flew it away. A couple days later myself and a few others found it, refueled it and flew it around. Unfortunately it ended up crashed and we have not been able to locate it again.

I have read various posts on where and how often the helicopter will spawn. Can anyone confirm if it ONLY spawns on Skalisty and if it is crashed, does it actually take a week before it will respawn??

Thanks!

Does not ONLY spawn on Skalisty... high possibility of it spawning elsewhere on the map. From what I hear, chopper respawns 6 days after it is destroyed. None of this is 100% confirmed, but its what I keep reading on other threads. Id fuckin' love for the choppers/vehicles to be more accessible... Noobs like me haven't even been in a working one before, and that makes me mad. Empty roads make no sense in a zombie apocalypse... + there would be WAY more abandoned (working)vehicles. Too many troll vehicles in this game.

There's many more spawn points for a helicopter than just Skalisty Island. There's like 5 or 6 other spots. NWAF, NEAF, Hill above NWAF, near Cherno (I think) and 1 or 2 others.

Helicopters can spawn in places shown at http://www.dayzdb.com/map

Helicopters have a chance of spawning back to spawn upon server restart, after it has crashed.

Otherwise helicopters can take up to 13days to respawn at a default location.

Thank you for all the replies. I traveled around to I think all of the spawn points on the dayzdb map and did not find it. I guess now it's just a waiting game to see if if spawns again in a few more days.

My server has yet to see a chopper spawn. It's been live now for 14 days and we haven't had a visitor yet to take it. Every other day since our other vehicles spawned we have traveled to all of the spawn points listed on DayzMB and haven't found one yet. Has it taken this long for anyone else?

The helicopter on a server that I frequent took nearly a month to respawn after being wrecked.
