Is anyone noticed this week that there’s hardly any enemies in the Marshland regions to fight I’ve been running around here for 2 days trying to get the Threat Level and threat points up and other than the rivals I can hardly find anybody to fight and all the hot spots are empty
Take a break on marshlands, that should help.
I had this happen on almost all regions except farmlands and mountains region in the past, but if I went over the regions borders and farmed hot spots in other regions for some hours, they came back usually.
Oops, sorry, droogs, I emptied Marshlands last night. 
There r actually lots of machine roaming all over Marshland, but i usually go these 3 spot which i find easy to reach n easy to handle.
- South-east of marshland, safehouse at Rusksele farm, there’s always a signal mass guarded by a tank n few runners, moreover, they often fight with soviet machines, most the time a big group of lynxs, sometimes wolf or firebirds. This s a almost guaranteed hot spot.
- North-east part, travel to safehouse at church of Stenmyra town, you can find wolf n lynx around the town n hay field very often, n at the ruins north-west of hay field, there very often spawn a signal mass guard by 2 tanks n few runners, sometimes 2 tanks without signal mass, n by chance even both group n a signal mass.
- South-west part, airbase safehouse Anl 118 Färela, a signal mass guard by few hunters n runners spawned very often just a few step west of the hole. N there are lots of cross fires all over the place, mostly inside the mountain range, just follow the gunshots, n you likely found wolf group fighting with harvestor group in most cases, sometimes even 2 vs 2.
Building region points is all about timing. How long you stay in a region, when to destroy rivals and when to move to the next region. Don’t work on points in just one region, let regions reset by staying out of them long enough to reset loot, machines and everything else that was destroyed or looted. If a known hot spot is empty, it still needs to reset.
Stay in an area till there is a rival spawn. Then leave for another region. Best time to destroy a level 4 rival is when you first get into a region, then use hot spots to restore lost points and level up the last rival spawn, in that region, at the same time. Then you will always have level 4 rivals and fresh new rivals to replace it. Moving after a spawn also tells you how long you have been out of a region and can return.
If you are hunting the northern regions for soviet rivals, then destroy only fnix machines till soviet rival pawns.
