Do organized crimes respawn?

+
Hey all.

Do organized crimes, assaults in progress, reported crimes, etc respawn on the map over time?
I mean in my last playing session i cleared a couple of them from the map in the northern part of the map.
But today some of them (not sure if they are in the same spot though) reappeared on the map, and i made very sure that i cleared the whole area on the map before moving on to the next area, so its safe to say i havent missed them, as i planned to "sweep" the map.
So again, do they respawn over time on the map?
Thanks in advance
 
But could it then be that only some of them will only appear if you've cleared others first?
 
Yes many street crimes do respawn. I have been playing for 50 hours were my only combat now is just fighting street crime (the end of my primary character's game with no more quests, just waiting for the DLC).

SOME if not all definitely respawn. I have a feeling some have random placement, but I have also seen many in the exact place doing the same thing that I had cleared weeks ago.

I am not talking about the ones that have elaborate stories (like the the hidden gems) just like the ones where the gangs are beating up citizens.

I would not be surprised if even more than that respawned because I could swear I have found some story crimes (crimes with loot that includes messages) more than once but with different NPCs. Simple stuff like "If you know what is good for you you will bring the money and do not be late." However I am not sure about that. I am sure some street crime respawns whether intended by the DEV or just a very lucky glitch.

NPCD scanner hustles never respawn. On my playthrough, in 1.23, I clear all (right after "The Heist" for reach the lvl 30), and stay clear since 90hrs. My map still empty of "blue" icons :(
And the same since day one, in all the versions that I have played, that is to say all :)

So just continue and then they eventually not coming back?
 
I've had one Suspected Organized Crime respawn. So idk what's going on with the hustles.
It's not nearby Pacifica ? With Animals and a rare Gorilla Arms Cyberware in it ? After finish "I walk the line" ?
I don't know why, but i think it could be this one :D

Edit :
Yep, another one "respawn" in the maelstromer "clinic" in North Side after rescue the woman (Gig: Hippocratic Oath)

Yep, it's sure, they never come back (sadly, because for test cyberwares or weapons, they are the best. And also for xp and Street cred)

Nope, for sure some street crime comes back. Maybe I lucked out with a serendipitous glitch but I have been playing for weeks (months?) with ZERO remaining quest only fighting street crime and I know I have been to the same spots more than once.

There is a gang verse cops battle that spawns into the game in a large food court in Watson that I have gone in and broken up several times in fact.

We speak about NCPD scanner hustles (blue icons on the map, skulls, baseball bats,...), not the "stars" (NCPD events).
Because in 2K hrs, since day one, I never see a NCPD scanner hustles respawn :)
(few spawn after a certain quest/GIG, but they weren't there before).

The "star" events, yes, they respawn randomly when you pass nearby ;)

I do not know if they are "NPCD hustles" or not but they defiantly have a blue flashing badge and bats on my mini screen! I do not see anymore skulls however.

Yep it's that, they are not NCPD scanner hustles.
There are just random events ;)
(and you don't see them on the "big" map)

The OP also asked about " assaults in progress," That includes the Gangs attacking citizens in the streets I would think. :shrug:

So this is just a random event ? ;) :

I have broken up this "random event" several times (same character). But I agree it possible that is a glitch.
Notice the flashing blue badge on the mini map.
Anyway street crime respawns. That I know, I am happy it does or I would have nothing to do now but jump across buildings. :p

Nope :facepalm:
Assault in progress, Reported Crime, Suspected Organized Crime Activity are NCPD scanner hustles and they don't respawn.
The flashing Stars, are an random events who are respawning randomly and they don't appear on the "menu" map :)
(and little detail, with flashing star events, enemies respawn, but not the loot. Like in dead bodies).

Edit : Suspected Organized Crime Activity, it's more sure that they don't respawn, all have a "boss" who drop iconic/legendary crafting specs ;)
Edit 2 : Yes, it's a random events nearby V's appartment, not NCPD scanner hustles. This one, I have did it maybe 10 times since 1.23. There is also one, just a the left of V's apartment, a little bit more far than Nibble trash can (with one Tyger) :D

No no I do not mean that Assault in progress are also a part of the Scanner hustles. They may be, but when someone askes if any "Assaults in progress" respawn in the game the answer will always be yes because that is true.

Semantics I guess. Unless you can point me to a wiki or official game site that says this term is only for Scanner hustles. Otherwise I am still correct, and you are as well I guess.

I mean I think you are saying that the term ""Assaults in progress" is officially by this game only for Scanner hustles?

If you can point me to this webpage that says it is an game term only for Scanner hustles. I would be grateful because I prefer to know the truth in the end not just be "right" in a debate. I do see that the term is part of Scanner hustles. But that is like saying clothing is only for armor.

Is there an official game term for the street crime that is respawned then? If there is I will change my use of the words.

For me, "Assault in progress" have the blue baseball bat as icon, are NCPD Scanner Hustles, they appear on the general map and they don't respawn.
The "Flashing Star" are random events (don't know exactly the name, if they have one), they aren't NCPD scanner hustles, they don't appear on the general map and they respawn.

NCPD Scanner Hustles :

Reported Crime > Blue "Cube" icon.
Organized Crime > Blue Skull icon.

Ok, I think THAT is what the OP was asking (after going back and reading it again) so you are correct that :

Assault in Progress > Blue Baseball bat icon.
Reported Crime > Blue "Cube" icon.
Organized Crime > Blue Skull icon.

FOR NCPD scanner hustles do not respawn.
 
Yep, it's also for that, you must said Organized crime don't respawn :
"Don't leave the legendary/iconic crafting spec in the "boss" body because it will despawn and you will never see it again !!!"
 
Blue Star events respawn all the time, the other stuff, no. There are some of them that spawn late in the game after certain quests has been done (Animals by the parking-lot close to the Stadium in Pacifica, and one in Northside I think), but those two comes after you've cleared the entire map. I'm not sure what questst triggers those two, but they're all a one-time only event.
