The Airdrop
Periodically the kind souls on the mainland will send supplies to help us survive - these events will draw players from all across the map to bask in the glory of two sets of wooden armour and a waterpipe shotgun. Enjoy!
Okay, so drops aren't quite that bad now but they definitely aren't worth fighting over, so we don't.
Free for all
The Airdrop is a Free For All event, with no option to claim it. Players are encouraged to be quick getting to the drop site and gracefully accept when they haven't been quick enough.
Some players may choose to share the loot. If this is you, well done on being a good person. But please be under no illusion, it is not necessary to share the loot from an Airdrop.
Airdrop etiquette
The Airdrop is a Free For All event where speed is key - kill the bots, then the grab the loot quick before someone else gets it.
I went to the Airdrop but got killed, what now?
The Airdrop attracts a small number of primitive bots to its location - these might be primitive but if they catch you off guard they can definitely kill you. If this happens just run back to get your stuff.
Airdrops are a Free For All, so if someone else is at the drop, they can take the contents but not your inventory.
Can I claim The Airdrop?
You can try and discourage other players from attending the party, but no claims can be made on The Airdrop itself. Once the drop lands you'll most likely have to be quick to get the loot, although some people will politely share.
The Airdrop landed on someones base, can I still retrieve it?
You can retrieve it but you can't damage the base or destroy any deplyables. If there are traps in place that stop you from getting to The Airdrop then you are bang out of luck.
Can I take items out of an Airdrop called in by someone elses Supply Signal?
No.
When someone throws down a Supply Signal then that airdrop is for that player only. That's the rule, no caveats or confusing loopholes to try and exploit... just let it be.
If you've thrown down a supply signal and someone is taking your stuff, explain to them in chat it's not allowed. If there is an admin in game they will most likely help you out. If not, use /admin please in chat to summon an admin.
Airdrop help
The Airdrop is a pretty straight-forward event to get your head around, but we'll add new questions to this section as they come in.
I have a different Airdrop related question
