Luck was never in the calculation, because that would have made players create even more alts, just for encounter grinding.

i guess they are meaning caves but good luck to find anything there lol

Just some CERTAIN CONFIRMED information would be really, I think highly appreciated by everyone.

Here's a piece of confirmed information: You can't find special encounters when traveling on zones purely consisting of water.

And I say this because you can't walk on water

I once asked for a hint from Jovanka, where the vehicle special enc can be found and was told that they can be found at places where i expect a vehicle to be found.
That would make sense, if it were near junkyard, gas stations, cities, highways, but when i saw last two recent encounters near Hub or in Raider Valley...
Bullshit.
Looking at this, you can expect the encounter just everywhere so dont expect a KIND soul telling you anything.
All of you will be trolled with cryptical glee. So the version with GM-distributed encounters look very feasible to me.

I just found the hidden bomb shelter for the first time, after what, nine or ten months worth of playing? Though I've found the howitzer encounter twice long ago.

I think it's purely based on being over the right type of map and the raw number of steps you take on foot. Being in car screens out a lot of encounters, so you aren't "thrown in." Unless we get reports of people finding special encounters while in vehicles, I hypothesize you need to be on foot and in a non-choice, forced encounter situation!

Are you able to find special encounters in groups?

Are you able to find special encounters in groups?

Yes, also one time I found Gauss with a pack of mercenaries.

[LostSoul]

Is this information still accurate?

So whats the deal with the GM abuse? I remember the commotion about disappeared stuff, which JovankaB spawned AND deleted afterwards.

Yes, i know, it was stuff from event taken away due to a glitch. Maybe falls under exploits.

Yet i know that GMs spawn stuff for their pals, so they can "test out the features".
But when you ask and even offer all your ingame stuff for a single piece of stuff, i get a impression of sheer arrogance.
