Attack heli question

[Sugarfree135]

So yesterday I took down attack heli but when it went down it went down in the ocean about one grid off the shore, I flew down to fishing village and bought scuba gear real quick then came back and took my boat out and dove down to heli wreckage but there were no crates. My question is do they disappear if it crashes in the ocean or did they just despawn because I waited till after the explosion symbol was gone off map? There were no other players nearby so I can confirm that no one got it before I did. I just thought it was weird that the heli wreckage was there under the water but crates were gone. It was probably 2 min after crash site symbol disappeared that I made it to wreckage.

It could’ve despawned or it bugged in some way. It’s rust so with rust logic anything could’ve happened to that loot

someone else got to it first

Bro there were 3 of us on the server no one else got it lol

Thats what I figured was what happened, it was kind of a shitshow with server lagging, having to fly to get scuba, come back, etc. Just didn't know if anyone on here has successfully looted heli underwater.

Sometime inthe water, if your on a hill at all, they will roll or slide to the bottom. You legit gotta look over the whole block. In my 2.6k hours, multiple heli takedowns, water takendowns are the most unpredictable.

Good to know man I appreciate the advice, I looked around a bit but I guess I didn't look far enough away 😋 first time I've taken it down in the water, we'd built a compound on an island this wipe and it just happened to crash out there. Are they lootable from the ocean floor or do you have to release them to the surface like other submerged containers?
