New finding: Weapon cache will create at anyway, even near you

Just a few mins before in the HARDCORE INSURGENT MAP, I got in a building's second floor to provide cover for my team as an AR. At that time, nothing funny in that building. About 3 mins later, SL decide to move to next objective. So I start my movement. When I run down the stairs......I saw a fresh new cache in front of me at ground floor.

No doubt i took the cache out in less than 10 secs, all the PKM RPG and deployable AK47 bags are gone.

So, that is my conclusion, new weapon cache will show up at anywhere.

That's odd. These caches should ALL be there once the round starts. Making it possible to search for other caches than pinpointed on the map :)

This is how it is supposed to be.

This is wrong, they only spawn once one cache is destroyed. So there should only be two caches on the map at one time.

Yea its two at a time so when one is taken out a new one appears at a random location, you were just pretty lucky its happy to my squad on korengal before now. Very rare though :)

Chairman Mao guides us to the caches. :firing:

You have very good luck.

i join the opinion of the current cache system should be changed, but its to early after the .9 release. time will come....

I believe all chaches spawned in .85 and they then changed it to only spawn 2 at a time. (Not completely sure about that)

I must say somehow I dont like it how Insurgency has been dumbed down somewhat for the blueforce. The server I play on regularly kept the new rally point system up untill the release.

At first it was tough and the blueforce hardly won, but later on as the blueforce realised they need to deploy fobs nearby cache locations and use some coordination, maps like Archer were won.

However I guess irl you can not use tactics like in game, like sandwitching a cache position between 2 fobs attacking from opposing directions.

yeah you could IRL.. you'd just need alot of time and manage to do it without a RPG on a bike and a white 4X4 with crates on the back to spot you....
ahhh the joys of PR

Your belief is incorrect. Caches spawned two or three (can't recall) at a time in .85 as well.

I always said that the cache spawning script should check player positions before spawning that way one doesn't spawn near the enemy.
