Loot respawn in box/chests

[Houten]

What is the respawn time for loots in chests/boxes scatted in the wild? Do I need to fully loot it or it will refill on a timer regardless?

Hi Houten!
These are the current respawn rates for containers in the game as of patch 14.7.48 (using in-game hours)

• Common chests respawn after 18 hours.
  
• Crates and barrels respawn after 24 hours.
  
• Uncommon chests respawn after 24 hours.
  
• Rare chests respawn after 36 hours.
  
• Ammo crates respawn after 48 hours.
  
  The expected behavior is that they will refill available slots that you haven't saved anything in. So if you don't want any of the items in a chest and you don't touch them, they will reroll after the respawn timer. But if you add something to a chest to get it again later, that item should save and the loot will only roll on the other slots when the respawn timer triggers. And if you remove the items from a container it will refill with new items when the respawn timer triggers. I hope this helps!
