Government aid drops spawn random loot in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

Government aid drops are green metal crates that contain randomized loot. They are dropped by automated National Catastrophe Relief Auxiliary cargobots, which can be summoned by inserting a US government supply requisition holotape into emergency broadcast terminals found at relay towers across Appalachia. The crates are lit by a red flare that emits a small pillar of smoke.

The drops for Request Government Air Drop can only be accessed by the player that requested the drop. Since Collision Course is an area event, the drops act like normal loot; they can be accessed by all players in the area.[verification needed]

Location
