Questions on helo crash sites

[Bootrum]

I have run into five helo crash sites on the server in the past week. I get so excited when I see them, but I have not found a single item at any of them… not even a can of peaches! One of those crash sites has not moved in three days, even though there have been multiple server resets.

So, my question is, are the crash sites only changed on weekly server restarts, meaning they change every Wednesday and stay there for a week? Also, does loot not spawn at the crash sites with each local server restart? Any further information on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not sure how they are working at the moment. Our server is setup with Persistence enabled, so however the developers have coded crash sites with persistence is how it is working.

This is subject to change at any moment with new patches I assume. I know many of our folks learn where the crash sites are and frequently visit them, which is why they are probably already looted by the time you get to them.

Heli crash sites on persistence on servers are bugged so that they’re only worth looting early on Wednesdays (or unless you find one in a remote location someone probably hasn’t been to). Once the loot has been taken from heli crashes on persistence on servers, new loot won’t respawn. If you want to find heli crashes with loot at them, your best bet is to only go on persistence off servers, particularly when they’ve just reset. This is also a great way of finding gear quickly.

Thanks guys. I thought it was going to be a Wednesday deal. I just kept seeing them, even right after local server restarts, and they were still empty. Cool. I guess we can all race to the new ones each week. See you guys out there.
