=== Legacy (pre-1.0) === In legacy DayZ Standalone, Survivors could come across helicopter crash sites at various places in Chernarus. These crash sites—either a crashed NATO "Black Hawk" helicopter or a Russian MI-8—spawned military-grade loot of varying rarity and provided the chance of finding the legendary [[M4A1]] and its [[attachments]]. Furthermore, two different types of helicopter crash sites existed in this version: random crash sites and static (or fixed) crash sites. In both types, loot was only spawned when the server started, making the crash sites and the loot they provided extremely lucrative targets for scavengers and bandits alike. With update 0.51, [[Steyr AUG Automatic Rifle]]s and their attachments were brought to "Black Hawk" crash sites. In addition, the model for the "Black Hawk" wreckage was replaced with a UH-1Y crash site model. With update 0.57, the [[AK101]] and [[5.56mm Rounds]] began spawning exclusively at UH-1Y crash sites, and with update 0.59, the [[FN FAL]] and the [[1911 Engraved]] began spawning at UH-1Y crash sites. ==== Random crash sites ==== When a DayZ server started, three helicopter crash sites would spawn in Chernarus, selected randomly from a pool of pre-determined crash sites across the map. These sites would remain until the server restarted; three new sites would be selected from the pool, new loot would spawn, and the cycle would continue.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq2tqqcFDaQ</ref> Depending on the type of helicopter that crashed, Survivors could find different kinds of loot. MI-8 crashes would spawn Russian loot while "Black Hawk" crashes spawned NATO loot, including the M4A1. "Black Hawk" crash sites spawned more commonly and could be seen much more easily than MI-8 crash sites; a "Black Hawk" crash site would emit a plume of gray-black smoke from its wreckage while an MI-8 crash site would not. ==== Static crash sites ==== Prior to 0.49, there were three static helicopter crash sites in addition to the random crash sites which guaranteed a crashed helicopter every restart. The following were their locations: *(040 130) - in the swamp area south of [[Balota]], *(134 039) - close to the [[Rify]] shipwreck site, *(083 093) - in the abandoned town of [[Kumyrna]].
