So we had a slugfest (Galleon, 2 Brigs, 2 sloops) at the FOTD today. When we finally cleared the fort in the midst of all the madness I opened the vault (knowing the time was close) blew up the gpb's (dying in process). On spawn back I went to the vault and it was empty! I mean picked clean! Our ship was the lone survivor in the area with no other threats.
When does the timer start?
If it starts when the fort starts then please explain why?.
Wouldn't it be better that the timer for loot despawning starts when Graymarrow is defeated?
FOTD Timers
@dag-13ernit I think what you experienced was the infamous fort loot despawning bug that I've heard a lot about.
I've had this happen a few times actually.
It's either because the fort loot despawns after 2 hours (ish)
Or because the island itself reset when no one was on it. Similar how if you die/mermaid it resets animals...I believe there is a chance if you died at the fort and no one was physically on the island then the island itself could have reset changing everything but the skelly gun powder barrels came back, loot in the barrels etc. But also wiping out the fort loot :/

Either this mentioned above. BUT your ship would have to be outside of island loading screen when u died. So when u come back with ship u reload island and u might got bugged and bye bye loot.
OR which no one mentioned apperently.
The OP said it was slugfest with fighting others. Once done they opened and he died on shooting GPB. BUT what if there was multiple tuckers? Now quickly looted vault and hide it some other spot to pick up later?@tubiansayne That was my 2nd guess - in any case, if that is what's happening, then the answer is simple: don't die.
@weakdexx We had our ship circling so at respawn I could have been out of the zone. Plus when I shot back over to the island the red gpb's did respawn. There was one tucker for sure because he showed up at 2 minutes on my recents when I shot over and we had sunk all enemy ships (some multiple times).
@galactic-geek I had pulled one Mega keg out of the vault (What I could personally control or so I thought) and set it across from the opening. Then like a dummy stood next to it as I shot the rest of them! Boooooom!!! 😂 Lesson learned!😂
