Where do air drops spawn?

[ConArtist2000]

Got a message saying an air drop has spawned at Koshevoy's house and couldn't seem to find it anywhere. The Legionnaires that had respawned didn't seem to have anything either.

There's a chance I might have gotten there too late, but I was already in Station 11 when the message came through. I don't think I could have gotten there much faster than I did.

This same situation happened again when I re-loaded the save and the message now said the drop was at the Water Treatment Plant. Searched the whole map and I doubt the Scythes there had already looted it.

If it makes any difference, this was supposed to be my first air drop. I got the tutorial for it when I received the message.

Well if you traveled fast enough, and there only one place to spawn in each map, Water Treatment plant one was... let me just improvise the map...


[......................................BASE FENCE HERE..................................................................]
.....[pipes]which let you go to the other half of location

[FIRST TREATMENT POOL]...................[SECOND TREATMENT POOL]



[THIRD TREATMENT POOL].................[FOURTH TREATMENT POOL]
[exit to the Cheko Lake here]

For me it was near the second treatment pool.

Loaded my autosave and double checked the whole Water Treatment map a second time, especially around the pools. Just Scythes and no Looters or air drop, thanks for the advice though.

Some maps only has 1 possible location for the airdrop, while others may have 2 or 3 locations. for water treatment plant, it’s way at the back of the area with the pools. For koshevoys house it’s by the road

I can take a look at your save game if you don’t mind sending me one. There’s a thread about how to find the save game files.

I've just sent you an email with the files mentioned in the thread. Thanks for taking a look.

thank you so much! I found the issue (along with a bunch of other bugs with the airdrop system lol), and I will release an update later today.

so with 1.72-2, when you load the game, the airdrop event will be scheduled about 2 weeks from now

I got the tutorial message that there is an airdrop coming up. Radio said it was expected to be dropped at the train station. At this time I was quite close, near the gas station. So I went over and looked everywhere for the package, but I could not find anything. I then reloaded, went there again. No package, no enemies, nothing. I went to sleep for a couple of hours, walked around, then slept for another couple of hours. Still nothing. I reloaded again, left to the village, went back to the train station. Still nothing. I searched everywhere, I waited for some more time. Neither a package nor any other guys showed up. So I decided to just forget about it and went on with other quests. Some time later when entering another area I saw a message in the radio, some guy congratulating his crew for securing the package.

I probably misunderstood something. What exactly was I supposed to do?

Did you look behind the gas station? like where you found Razor's armor

Oh. Thanks for your early reply! Ah no, I did not look there. Just searched the actual area of the train station, rails etc. Damn it :-(

PS: It's a great game, I'm enjoying it a lot!
