Vehicle Recovery Point

Vehicle Recovery Point is a /gps location used when recovered ground vehicles cannot be brought directly to you.

Vehicle recovery points are markable in /gps. They are not visible red and yellow in game markers.

Recovery Point notes

A Vehicle Recovery Point is used when:

  • you recover a vehicle without VIP
  • your vehicle cannot be brought directly to your location
  • your vehicle is sent to a recovery point

This page is about normal ground vehicle recovery points.

It does not cover:

  • aircraft recovery points
  • plane recovery points

How vehicle recovery works

To recover a vehicle normally:

  • open F2
  • or use /vehicles
  • select the vehicle
  • click Recover

You can also use:

/recover

This recovers the vehicle currently selected in F2.

When a vehicle goes to a recovery point

Your vehicle goes to a Vehicle Recovery Point instead of spawning near you if:

  • you do not have VIP Hours
  • you are wanted
  • your VIP Hours ended
  • you took damage recently

Without VIP, recovery goes to:

  • the recovery point
  • or the nearest allowed spawner instead

If your vehicle is sent to a recovery point, use /gps to mark that location and go to the GPS point.
