I think it helps you to find it faster. Anyway I know that some guys found it with characters without explorer perk and even 1 luck.

I don;t know much about special encounters but I think it has to do with LUCK and outdoorsman. Last wipe I was leveling my sniper near Theme Park(obviously) and bam Hidden Bunker encounter then 2 days later another one.

I'd like to ask about the same - is it possible to find it multiple times with one char?

There are no requirements or anything that increases the chance to find those encounters otherwise players would make special characters to find them quickly so that's exploitable , abusable bla bla bla and i think developers have thought about that.

So i'm quite sure everyone has the same chance to find that bunker. If someone thinks pumping some special stats to 10 helps , tagging skills , choosing the right traits or whatever nonsense players can think of is just " in your head "

Personally found one bunker this wipe with a character who had 5 mercenaries in party , it really doesn't make any difference , just think straight.

I think it's been mentioned before that it's totally random no matter what stats or perks.

And thus all these ideas that certain things make it appear fast is all just coincidental, ways for people to attempt to rationalize it for some reason.


Erm, what T-888 said.

You can only find special encounter 1 (ONE) time per character.

You ask for answer, you are given answer, then suddenly throw out there you want it from dev/gm.

I've been around long enough to know anyways bro.

I just asked if that was ever confirmed. Didn't asked answer from GM/Dev now.
And FO changes so quickly and so unknown to players, that no one can be sure anything.

That might be an observation witch could be very likely be in his head too , not reliable because the chance to find that bunker is ridiculously low and you know real life luck does it's own thing sometimes. What i mean by real life luck ?

I can explain even that , let's say the chance to find that bunker is 0.001% chance per tick on world map so if i'm not wrong on average you would find 1 special encounter per 10000 ticks on world map. Though there is a chance very small chance that you would find it only after 15000 or 5000 ticks, actually the possibilities are endless how you can get lucky or unlucky , nor it's possible to calculate when you are going to be unlucky or lucky.

To explain that even better , it's like if you really would flip a coin up to infinitive times the ratio between the landed coins heads/tails would tend to reach those perfect 50% with millions of zeros and 01 in the end if rounded up or down it doesn't matter.

I can flip a coin 8 times and there is a chance that the coin will land all 8 times on heads , you can calculate the chance of that happening but you never know when it is going to happen , i'm still scratching my head over this at least was in school.

My point , if it's an observation you now have an idea how horribly wrong it can be , so from a players point of view i think it's impossible to know that unless direct information has been provided from developers.
