Resource Conatiners Respawn?

[mothra]

I for the life of me cannot figure out how long it takes for conatiners to respwn. What can trigger the containers to respawn? I play almost every day, play missions over again, free roam, combat deployments, etc. But it just seems so random when the containers reappear, and i am getting bored real quick trying to run around to get resources and they are never there. Can anyone help me. I have tried so many idfferent things from you tube and google that do not seem to work. I am trying to finish my bases to level 4 and it takes so many fuel resources. Any help would be appreciated.

Resource containers from Single player game take 5 missions to respawn. Better way to farm resources is to play FOBs.

5 missions (not sideops). Some missions can be completed very quickly, and repeated, such as A Hero's Way (just snipe the commander from far away).

yeah i saw that with the FOB's. Gonna have to give it a try. Thanks to both of you.

how long does it take for the main mission to refresh to max value?

[Holografix]

if u complete 5 missions, then the resources will refresh.

Another note: The exception to the 5 mission rule is PM containers. PM takes more deployments. I think 10, but don't quote me on that it could be more. I didn't actually count them. I noticed it when doing various runs through OKB Zero and extracting all containers. The others came back well before PM did at Outpost 1 on the way in to OKB Zero. The same can be noticed plain as day with the PM at the airport.

If you pass a checkpoint and restart the mission as Solid suggested, the next time you fulton a container it has a lot less materials in it (eg. x7500 the first time, x75 afterwards).

I just go on free roam in Afghanistan and fulton the sh!t out of everything I see, then repeat in Africa, with a few FOB missions here and there. When I come back they almost always respawn.

airport is very good place... yes they respawn but each time they give less..

If you want a full count of what is out there with where they're located. See this....

Love all of you. Gives me something to at least try out and see which works best. Thanks to all of you!

if you pass a checkpoint and *abort* (not restart) the mission, values will not be decreased. you also have to start the mission from free roam (not from acc).
