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 reliably 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 are player instanced. However, ones that spawn during a random encounter are not instanced, and the contents will be shared amongst all players in the area.

Potential contents

 * Pre-War money
 * Random aid item
 * Purified water
 * Stimpak
 * Rad-X
 * Random weapon
 * Gatling gun
 * Gatling laser
 * Gatling plasma
 * Syringer
 * Gamma gun
 * Power fist
 * Crossbow
 * Double-barrel shotgun
 * Revolutionary sword
 * Pitchfork
 * Single action revolver
 * Random mod
 * Random plan
 * Nuclear keycard (if the crate was dropped from a specific card carrying bot)

Location
Government aid drops are deployed at random locations near the relay tower where they are summoned during Request Government Air Drop. The location of a drop is marked on the map. A government aid drop is also rewarded for completing the Collision Course event. There is also a random encounter with an already landed aid drop, often surrounded by enemies. Government aid drops can also be obtained through shooting down a cargobot.

Bugs
During January of 2019, the drop was locked with a level zero lock, and if anyone other than the requester took items from the supply drop they would become wanted, with a 5 cap bounty for each item taken. As of the 2/19/2019 Fallout 76 patch 1.0.6.0, supply drops cannot be accessed in any way by any character other than the player that requested it. Another bug surfaced; map markers for supply drops requested by other players would still appear on the map; patch 1.1.2.9 fixed this.
