Airfield in D4 and puppet spawns?

[Legendarydavo]

So I just flew into the Airfield in D4, pressed F to leave my plane.
And instantly started taking damage.
I was surrounded by puppets who just spawned directly on top of me.

Didn't hear them or see them, or ram them with the plane.

Is this normal? Or just the horde spawning system screwing up again.

Normal with the well thought out Puppet spawn system we currently have ingame, now they only spawn in when you are in a certain area and don't spawn in before that...

Like you can be 200m away from a town, use your scope or binocs to scout the are, 0 puppets in view, walk into the town and see them spawn around you, brilliant, I know..

If there were literally multiple that spawned right on you it's a known bug that usually happens when the low player count modifier has been turned on.

Wasnt possible in the previous way of spawning either because the max distance of puppet spawns is the same as it is now ~100m

I believe it was 150m

If you're playing SP try the settings here:

Playing a new character in the snow biome regions yesterday under these settings and I can confirm seeing puppets up to around 600m away, no random puppets spawning near you. And the central aerodrome has puppets all over it again like the previous spawn system provided, as long as you don't approach it at high speed they'll be there waddling around when you enter the area (if a fast entry; you'll see them get up from the ground and begin walking around).

they always despawned at 150 for me when i tryed at the B2 Airfield. 120 was the max measured for me but sometimes it varied depending on new spawns.
