After the free drill patch hit I have been farming A LOT. The first mission I got my weekly safe, which means there had been a reset on the drop timer. After that I've farmed and farmed and farmed, but no drill.

I talked to everyone I could by joining random lobbies and asked if they'd gotten a drill. Those who said they had gotten one also reported they hadn't received a safe after the reset.

This suggests heavily that the drills and the safes are part of the same pool of items. So you have 50% chance from your guaranteed drop to get a drill. Once a week.

Edit: 50% chance, not 33%, hurrdurr. 4 items in pool: sputnik safe, sputnik drill, crimefest safe, crimefest drill

This is the danger of them not clarifying anything on how it actually works. People got really happy that "drills now drop!" and expected to get a safe guaranteed each week, and drills randomly through playing. Doesn't seem to be that way when people who gets a drill doesn't get a safe.

you have a better chance of winning th elottery than getting a drill then you can only get one a week and the free ones arent going to unlock anything good anyways

I'm assuming it's like when you get a Safe.
You get a Safe, or a Drill, then you wait X amount of time before the next drops.
Farming won't give you it faster.

Do we know what the cooldown is? It seems to be ~ 7 days. I got a drill 7 days after the first safe, which dropped the first heist after the Day 1 update. So it might be a guaranteed drop, once per week.

Out of a team of 4 heisters on about 30 heists (mostly on OK or VH), meaning 120 chances, I experienced only 1 drill card drop (not the Slaughterhouse and FWB ones) one heister received. I know, it ain't the largest pool, but still. In the same amount of time, people got around 10-20 infamous items.
Edit: Corrected my posting regarding the overall chance.

I can do 120 heists and get 0 infamous items....... After about 350 hours of in game play from the beginning, I haven't receieved one infamous item. It's RNG dude...
