Airdrops are crates of valuable resources dropped from the sky. Their landing spot is marked by a beam of light pointing up into the sky. The beam’s color shows how long ago the airdrop landed: Bright yellow — the airdrop has just landed, Red — the airdrop is about to disappear.
Tip: Airdrops are best looted as a group — guarding mobs and competition from other players make solo farming risky. If you’re playing on your own, you can ride right up to the drop on a moped and quickly loot everything by pressing Space without engaging the mobs. Just make sure you have enough free space in your inventory!
General Mechanics
- Airdrops spawn at random in the following locations: Big Village, East Territories, Swamp, Coast (at a random spot on the map).
- The landing spot is marked by a beam of light visible from a distance.
- The airdrop is guarded by mobs (boars, lizards, shockers, etc.).
Lifespan
- The beam burns for 2 minutes.
- After the beam disappears, the crate stays for another 6 minutes, then explodes.
- Total lifespan — 8 minutes.
- The loot inside is personal for each player, but the number of looters is limited.
- Spawn interval: 4 to 6 hours of real time per location.
Special Drop Spawn Cases
- Project X: after the event is successfully completed, several airdrops spawn at once (around 5).
- The beam burns for 1 min 25 sec, then the crate explodes.
- Major events: you can get an amulet that lets you summon a personal drop.
- The duration is the same — 1 min 25 sec until the blast.
Contents
The main purpose of airdrops is giving you a shot at a set of high-tech armor. You can also find more resources needed for crafting ammo and armor, as well as items like a gasoline purification filter and NDP crystals used to complete clan quests. S1-type ammo has been replaced with M1. Accurate as of version 0.6.19.
*Old drop contents:
- Item drop chances and the loot list (accurate as of version 0.56.3) are provided below.
- Worth a separate mention: blueprints for weapon modification also drop from airdrops — they’re not listed in the table.
- Loot in Project X drops is trimmed down (no donator ammo or medkits in there).
- Loot in summoned drops is trimmed down too (no crafting resources in there).
