Air drops are supplies dropped from airplanes that contain various weapons from different classes and miscellaneous equipment that includes medical supplies, to attachable accessories and even ghillie suits. Airplanes can be heard from miles away so always be ready to predict its flight path and decipher on when it’s going drop the items.

Air-drops do not always necessarily mean good news, as it can be turned to a battleground really quick.

What to do When You Spot an Air- Drop

Watch your surroundings.

When you spot an airplane that is ready to drop its items, be sure to scout your surrounding areas. Try not to waste your life when there are a lot of players opting to retrieve items from the plane as well.

Tread lightly.

Enemies might lurk just around the corner expecting your arrival. Always doubt an air-drop that has no players around it as other players are most likely waiting from a bush nearby.

In and Out
