Sweet, I needed an excuse to play some more

[Lar Dass]

Right after the patch. Standard techland, surprising us as always

[The old hairy one]

And there is, generally, one that drops about every three hours by the mural of the daddy of the Zombies. Well it did for me, I normally wait for the plane to come over the old drug store, Goodnight Mr. Bashir, and when that plane comes over run and run fast to get there. You should beat those very nice men from Rais's Sunday school outing.

Or just go clear all the ones in old town, there's a bunch already on the ground and they respawn regularly

Got the Wolfclaw blueprint and x1 King upgrade so far, it's a quite good event. As for the white hazmat variant, he seems no different from the regular one.

[Nightmre -_-]

because my save is corrupt it never says i got a crate even tho i got a couple done.

[Poppi !!]

Let me get this straight ~ I'm on a 100% save ATM so ...

This includes ANY relief packages or just the ones positioned outside ?

Now I've got to go find out.

Gotchya. Thanks 👍

Is it just me ? but i've been in game for like an hour or so now and i've not seen a single air drop...

Like before in the old vanilla game, I used to get a plane fly over like every 25 mins, but now since this even started i've never seen one lol...

It might depend what part of the story you are in. You can just go farm all the drops in old town, they are already on the ground, took me like 20 minutes to pick up 10 of them. Just run through, head shot the 4 thugs, pick the lock and run to the next.

If any zombies are there kill one, camo with it's blood, pick the lock and ignore the rest

Yeah I did that already, and it said those drops were part of the "Airdrop Junkie" event.
Which as far as I can tell is something separate from this new Airdrop Reinforcements event, since they both have separate quest lines in the quest log menu.

I've not seen a single actual "air drop" though - as in a plane flys over and spawns a new crate on the map.

I just wanna get the wolfclaw thingy lol.... :(

Without giving too much away, the airdrops will stop dropping in the Slums after the 6th Main Mission called "The Pit", just letting you know! it also confused me at first. Best to avoid finishing this quest if you intend to farm the drops.

Humm, I didn't know that, thx Cats.
But then what is the point in having an event that everyone who is at end game can't take part in ? I thought that this Airdrop Reinforcements event would have it's own air drops, that wold spawn regardless of campaign progression. Seems like a big oversite by the devs lol.

The last time I played (last year) i'm sure I was seeing vanilla air drops in my game world.

PS - Is the wolfclaw thing any good anyway ? Like is it a new machete type like the skull machete, or is it just a reskin ?

[stcaFylnO]

Wolfclaw is basically a skin with a slight durability increase. It can have other blueprints, like All-in-One stacked on top of it.

The blueprint was available in my list, even without ever picking one up.
