Vehicle and equitment spawns

[KageStodder 15]

Hi,

I sometimes come across servers where there is very little loot in an area (because someone already looted obviously) so i was wondering how often loot spawns? Also say the server crashes does it continue the loot loop where it was before or does it reset everything?`Also i heard vehicles only spawn once on a server. Like if you take the chopper its gone for good. Does this mean after a server crashes aswell or would it respawn?

Regards

Bump?

Vehicles respawn after they are destroyed and the server restarts I believe.

Vehicles don't respawn once destroyed. They are spawned it by the devs at their discretion (for now).

So if a server restarts and vehicles have been destroyed they still wont respawn?

Not until the devs decide to respawn them.

Can I ask what your source is for this, and how old the information is?

I can see this being the case for early testing, but now that they rolled them out on hundreds and hundreds of servers I really doubt it remains a completely manual process. That would be unsustainable.

The source was a response from Griff to a nearly identical thread maybe a week before the forum rollback. The way I understood it, it's only done once via the hive server, so the actual number of servers is irrelevant.

A bit dated, yes, but it's really the only official information we've received regarding vehicles in a very long time.

so if all car is blown up it won't respawn? i thought it respawns were it blew up.

So lets say i wanted to start a completely new server in order to be able get a car i would still have to wait for a dev to spawn a couple of ruined vehicles some random places? Or would they be spawned as soon as server goes up?

Tell me' date=' how does that make any kind of sense?

Unless something has changed recently, that is correct.
