Where it spawns: the loot tables
Cot is on 8 loot tables in the game files. Share is how much of a table's total weight this item takes, before your sandbox loot settings. Each container rolls its table several times, so a bigger share and more rolls both mean you see it more often.

|---|---|---|---|
| Army Surplus Cots | Army Surplus Store (shelves) | 100% | 4 |
