Vehicles Disappearing?

[BigBadAss33]

Do Boats, cars and Motorcycles de-spawn?

If they do what is the time factor?

[DevilUponUs]

usually half hour i think, you'll need to park your vehicle in your base and keep up with the upkeep of the vehicle inside your base, it will never de-spawn if you keep up with the upkeep

u can also build locks that other ppl can not steal it :)

Locks only prevent stealing. If the vehicle is not touched for more than 30 minutes it will despawn; unless it's being maintained by mechanics toolbox in a base.

if u dont lock it an park it outside your base zone should stay put. too much work find enough oil to keep a bike even 1-2days at 6oil per day? u just dont wont find that much it becomes a hunt just for that an u dont get other ♥♥♥♥ done not worth it an I think thats what they want so they wont be hoarded becos we all know ppl do that

not correct. the lock expires after 30 mins and at a certain distance away from it the countdown to despawn clock starts, we dont know at what distance from it starts, or how long is its countdown to despawn.
in safe zones the 30 min lock clock starts right away when u get off it no distance in the equation. it says that right when u get off it.
it does not despawn in 30 mins elsewhere when the lock expires. all that happens is the lock expires and anyone can take it/open storage. ive come back 1-2+ hrs later an bike was still there even logged out.

Correct the lock expires in 30 min regardless.. Build the Mechanics Tool bench... stock with SPARK PLUGS and OIL.. I currently have 20 OIL in my bench and my HARLEY is mine for 10 days!!!! LOL

Start your day doing a circuit around the barracks area of the airfield. You will have enough oil and spark plugs to keep your motorcycle maintained for 2 weeks. They are everywhere up there. The only issue I have are mechanics tools for the jeep. I rarely ever find them even though I do bunkers, cargo drops and hidden stashes. I've only ever been able to maintain a jeep for 1 day.

I don’t believe this, I had 80+ mechanic tools and oil and spark plugs, told I was good for 5 days. Vehicle had a lock on it. In my base. I come back the next day (got off at midnight, came back 10am) and the jeeps gone. This is the third time this has happened. Any help?

Your base got raided (PVP).

You have a hole in your base/ceiling, where players could get into your base. Player destroyed lock, entered vehicle and damaged it against wall/object until it was destroyed.

Most likely scenario...
Somebody parked one or more vehicles next to your base, which also consumed vehicle maintenance resources, to the point they all disappeared, including yours.
