If you're in the desert I hit teleporters 4,3,2. Then Teleporter 6 and the singularity area long with the two buildings nearby with resources in it. Then Teleporters 5,7,8. Teleporter 10 with a dive in to the Fallen Village for the huge amounts of ammo resources. Then finally Teleporter 9 with a dive in to Ruins 02. One thing to note is you should clear out EVERYTHING including drums and boxes and other breakables at the teleporters

After that its as simple as going back to the beginning and doing it all over again.

If you're in the jungle I hit up every teleporter while leaving teleporter 4 for last. Once I clear out Teleporter 4 I head to the military base right before the mansion for loot (you can also loot the mansion if you wish since it has copper and lead and some other stuff). After that its as simple as restarting from the first teleporter you cleared out. However my order is typically 7,6,2,3,8,4.

The loop I do in the desert pays out HUGE amounts of copper, lead, and gunpowder along with various other materials while my loop in the forest pays out quite a huge amount of various blue tier resources like Napalm, Firing Units, titanium,

I havent nailed down the timing but its for sure not 12 hours. I have gone a looted all the teleporters in the 2nd map twice within one play session.

23-24 hours

Same here, sometimesi get lucky and can loot the map twice in just a few hours but not today it seems.
Skt
You sure? Ive red somewhere that they respawn around 4-6 hours but nothing seems to make any sense atm.
Aweful feeling to being reduced to melee or not playing.

As far as I have seen, things respawn after the maintenance, or after you have done enough other stuff in the game. Just camping in a tent does not seem like it will ever respawn anything. But go and pick up one to two hundred other items and the earlier stuff you picked up will respawn.

There might be a minimum amount of time before things will respawn, but it doesn't seem like there is any specific timer to auto respawn items.

"clear out EVERYTHING including drums and boxes"
you mean, only the teleporters and the ""dungeons"" right?
That might be something i missed. Always looted everything but since marking all gunpowder spots ive only looted, well, gunpowder. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope it works

JHarlequin
Adds absolutely nothing to the game. If I already took a huge break doing coop or irl stuff, at least give me the possibility to loot ♥♥♥♥ needed to play jesus.Whatever

Well in the village or Singularity area 1 I mostly just grab the ammo components and loose resources, but in the ruins I grab everything. But I only bother breaking barrels, crates, and ♥♥♥♥ while near teleporters.

Are you aware if the methods you described respawn other locations too? Or am I bound to collect everything near them? Since many gunpowder supplies are in some other locations far away from teleports. Again, thanks for the suggestion

They respawn everything on that particular map. So if you do this in the desert it'll respawn things in the desert, and vice versa for the forest.

But if you clear out the entire desert and then go to the jungle, clearing out the teleporters in the jungle won't restock the ones in the desert.
just sleep in your bed for 24hours and go around teleporters and loot teleporters bases , it will yeld you ridiculesly large , easy , no dificulty or threat of recources.

that includes lead , copper , gunpowder , iron , nails , springs , in africa you will get also medium/small amount of blue materials too

Collect everything in the teleported areas including the breakable object. You get things to respawn when you collect a certain ammount of items per map.

well as far as i know just like washout containers , and other quests items in world are also bound to respawn by ingame time

how i know? i had areas not respawn when i myself went to bed and played the next day , when i finaly played next day area was still not respawned

when my character went to sleep for 24hours ingame(maybe you need to sleep a bit more then 24hours) all items in ALL teleporters with 1 exeption did respawn

idk maybe its mix of both? just sleep ingame for maybe 30 hours and see what did respawn , i say its worth a try as its what i did

As far as im concerned the topic is solved. I will try what Varenvel The Generic Furry said should it be just a chance that it worked. Cant make that ♥♥♥♥ up, it all respawns fo colelcting a set amount of items, literally lmaoing. Thanks my dudes

I start with teleporter 10 and go backwards then sleep for 2 days then go out again sometimes it is hit or miss when you go back out.
