Talk:Patches and Updates/Update 1.8: Resistance/@comment-31024592-20171206224844/@comment-24739965-20171207000308

According to a gameplay stream before the update was released, the devs said that the spawning system was to spawn enemies near the player to give the feel of the NPCs ability to "surround you".

It might be that it will spawn NPCs in areas close to the player, rather than fixed spawns and patrols in the LZ and DZ.
