Do enemies respawn?

[[]]

Exactly as the title. Do enemies respawn? -- I haven't noticed any respawn yet.

In the caves no.

They used to respawn in caves, but that was changed some 10+ patches back. At first I thought it made a lot of sense, because it used to be that they respawned every time you re-entered the cave, even if you just left for 1 second and went back in. Now I've come to think it's an issue.

I think the game could really do with some randomization in cave enemies. You know like, a handful of different sets of possible enemies in each location with the idea that during the later days the number and difficulty of enemy will be increased. You go in the first day, and there might be two skinnies, you go in the 2nd day and it's empty, you go in day 10 and there's an armsy, day 20 there's 4 cross covered cannibals.

Overall I think there is too much predictability in the game's current state. After 30+ (probably an exaggeration) hours you basically know everything to expect in all areas.

So they don't respawn?? -- Still abit confused.

Well outside, they continuosly spawn at certain areas and times (new ones, not ones ressurected and respawned lol). There are certain areas they are VERY active, others quiet.

In CAVEs as Elipse said, no... once killed they stay dead.

So sounds like I'm best clearing a cave? and making it a home?

Wait, they stay dead forever? Wow, I didn't know that. I never bothered going back in most caves after I got what I needed.

Cave 5 is where I go for more cloths. I cleaned out the first cavern; then broke the wooden wall and cleaned out the second cavern (the one with the rope down to the rebreather). Past the down rope in cavern 2 you can find a little booze, 3 flares, etc. Go back outside and come back in and break open the big suitcases again. I get 80+ cloths and other stuff as needed.

But, sometimes I find one or two cannibals have respawned in cavern 2, so be alert.

in caves no on ground yes

Avoid building at that giant tree. That's one of the most intense areas where the cannibals patrol, along the shoreline

[eclipse]

As stated in the rebreather cave 1-3 of the skinny cannibals will re-spawn sometimes/none/all the time. Pretty sure its a bug since last major patch. In my games i have had mostly 1-2 respawn upon re-entry.

They used to all respawn and then they killed it because of all the whiny ass babies.

lol eclipse.

Last statement is so true.

They should put holes on or near the ceilings in caves and you can see them crawl out of the holes. Then they could respawn that way and even when you're in the cave. That would be some scary ♥♥♥♥ if a group of cannibals just dropped down all around you like that.

This is a good idea

I know this is a BIG necropost, but I just had an Armsy respawn right in front of me, literally 2 min after I killed it. I was in the sinkhole cave, and had just killed the Armsy (the armor on my left arm was from skinning it)
