How far can I hide a vehicle/tent?

[mitor 176]

Hi,

I recently found a vehicle, which I want to hide. The question is, how far can I go from the "known" map to hide it?

I have visited north and I don´t want to go further wondering if my vehicle is gonna save correctly or if it is going to insta-kill me.

Thank you.

You will know when you hit the end of the map, there is a black border and no grass/trees etc past that line, just infinite green rolling hills. Regardless, hiding it up in the middle of nowhere is no guarantee it won't be found since that's where everyone looks for vehicles/camps.

Thanks for the info.

The distance you can hide vehicles out of the play area is directly proportional to how gay you are.

Can you hide vehicles outside the play area?

To answer the question: You can save it wherever you want. Calling it "hiding" may not be appropriate, because it may well be in plain view, but you can save it there, though you wouldn't want to.

And there is no "outside the play area". If you can get there, you are playing there, and your gear is fair game because someone else can get there too.

I wanna say a few months back there was a rule or something (cant think of the right word) implemented in the game that if you hide/save anything outside of the normal map(what smasht_Au showed the pic of), that if it goes unchecked for X time that it will despawn. I cant remember the exact time limit and if it applies to vehicles and tents or just vehicles. So since then i havent ever hide anything past that black border, let alone travel past it. Know i still look for anything past it if i can see that far. But most of the time i find everything below that line. Good luck.
