Getting the best loot throughout the match is the most essential part of playing PUBG Mobile. However, the easiest way to find the best loot is to secure an Air Drop. Here’s Everything you need to know about it.
What is an AirDrop?
An Air Drop is a large crate in PUBG Mobile that is dropped by a cargo plane during a match. It consists of the game’s most powerful supplies, including strong guns and high-tier armor.
How To Spot It?
It is quite easy to spot an Air Drop since it’s dropped by a cargo plane flying overhead. It drops a large blue and red crate containing valuable supplies. Players can spot an airdrop from a distance as it leaves a red or yellow smoke trail once it lands.
Loot
An Air Drop contains the best in-game items that set you up for a chicken dinner and give you a major advantage over your opponents. This is why your enemies will also try to get the drop for themselves, so watch out!
These are the items you usually find in an Air Drop:
- Weapons like the AWM sniper rifle, Groza, MG3, and P90.
- Guaranteed tier 3 items such as helmets, vests, and backpacks.
- A Ghillie suit to disguise yourself.
Types of Air drops
In a standard PUBG Mobile match, there are two types of Air drops:
- One with a red smoke trail
- One with a yellow smoke trail
The Air drops with a red smoke trail are the standard ones that drop randomly over the map. Yellow ones are exclusive to Flare Guns or Emergency Support Flares and only drop when a player manually calls them in.
However, there may be special, limited-time air drops that occur during an event.
How To Secure Air Drops
It can be quite easy to secure an Air Drop for yourself if played smart. The key is to hide yourself well in your surroundings while maximizing the cover. Here are a few strategies I use to secure an Air Drop safely:
- Use smoke grenade: It is recommended to never approach an Air Drop out in the open. Players should always carry smoke grenades and throw them near the drop so that it creates a visual barrier.
- Prone while looting: Proning, or simply lying down, minimizes the chances of being hit, making it one of the best ways to stay safe.
- Watch out: Since almost every player runs towards the air drop as soon as it lands, you should watch the crate from a safe distance using a scope for a few seconds to make sure that there are no enemies.
- Move quick: Try to loot and grab what you need as quickly as possible and run away, as there might be a chance that enemies are tracking you.
- Use a Vehicle: It is best to use a vehicle to drive up to the crate quickly and use it as a cover.
I hope you found these tips helpful and will find more drops in your PUBG games. Good luck!
