Four ways supplies arrive

Natural, Flare Gun, Support Flare and tower calls have different triggers and loot pools.

  • Natural drops: watch the aircraft, not a fixed-minute schedule.
  • Flare Gun: check phase, availability and zone position.
  • Support Flare: yellow smoke calls ammo and utility items.
  • Active tower: 2 enemy chips call a separate supply pool.
