Government aid drop

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.

Bugs
As of the 2/19/2019 Fallout 76 patch 1.0.6.0, supply drops can only be accessed by the player that requested it. Although the supply drop will still show up with a map marker for nearby players, if anyone other than the requester takes items from the supply drop it is considered a crime and they become wanted with a 5 cap bounty for each item taken. Fallout 76 patch 1.1.2.7 fixed the bug that caused map markers for supply drops requested by other players from appearing, however this seems to formally confirm that it is now a crime to access aid drops not requested by the player character.
