How to Drop In and Scavenge Weapons Early

Surviving the opening moments of a match requires picking a good landing spot and quickly securing equipment from the Aplok Guns addon.

Parachuting from the Helicopter

Every match begins with players inside a helicopter flying high above the custom island. Look down from the helicopter to survey the terrain and see where other players are heading. Once you spot an ideal starting zone, jump out and use your parachute to glide down and steer directly toward your chosen location.

Best Locations to Scavenge Loot

Weapons and items are scattered across the island, particularly inside and around major landmarks. Aim your parachute toward one of these diverse locations to gear up immediately:

• High-Profile Complexes: Drop into the military camp, research station, or village if you want a large area with multiple buildings to search, though these spots often attract more players.
• Isolated Landmarks: Steer toward the windmill, hunter’s hut, guard tower, or cave if you prefer a quieter landing where you can grab a weapon before engaging anyone.

Securing Mid-Game Airdrops

If you do not find strong gear during your initial search, watch the sky as the match progresses. Two valuable airdrops will fall onto the island during the game. Move toward their landing sites to fight other survivors for control of top-tier loot.
