Supply drops?

[White, the Loiterer]

Are these just random loot boxes we can find or what?

Supplies will be dropped randomly on the island by some... unknown means, it should be like dying light where its random.


You can also find randomly generated loot in the caves.

Pretty much. The giant box from the sky in a beam of that was in the trailer is a SupplyDrop. They're free swag, so people will converge on them.

Are they supposed to drop at random locations? So far I have seen the same drop points many, many times?
What is to keep people from simply building a fence around the drop points if they are static to keep them for themselves each time (at least on PVE).

[Whiplash]

They definitely move around.

What do the different color lights mean? Someone mentioned they indicate the level required to open. That same person said that purple requires level 35, and I opened a purple at level 30, so now I question their credibility.

Does the color indicate quality, type, level, location, or is it just random?

Quality and req level.

They are level based. If you cannot open one it tells you what level is required. There are several posts on what color is what...White being Lvl 1+ for example. The items seem level relative also as for example I opened a Green (which was Lvv 10 or 15 I forget) and got a full set of Hide clothing and Hide Pants Blueprint.

Well, like I said. Someone said purple is 35+ but I opened and I'm only 30.

Understood so either the Wiki is wrong or the devs need to look at a level requirement bug for Purple then.

I think the locations are the same but the type of loot (color of the light) is random. I have a house and the drops appear in the same location over and over. Just different color (Which also have a level requirement).

Red = Lvl 60
Yellow = Lvl 45
Purple = Lvl 35
Blue = Lvl 25
Green = Lvl 15
White = Lvl 5

I absolutely, positively opened a purple at level 30. Something's not right with this level chart.

Could completly be bugged. But those are the requirements when you try to use them and you can't. When I was level 26, Purple says 35 is required. Minor issue though.

First purple I ever encountered was the one I opened, so seems maybe it's set to allow you to open at 30, but text says 35? Probably a simply bug like you say.

Hate that Red is level 60 instead of 55.

[BellatorMonk]

I am still more concerned about the drop occuring in the same geographical location...seems another person confirms what I have seen. So either the random drop pattern is on a pretty long timer of many hours or some spot just are not random.
Oh well we shall see in the coming days or weeks when/if start building bases around drop zones.

Wish I was close to level 60 :)
