In this accursed land, airdrops stand as a beacon of hope. Keep a keen ear for the rumble of military cargo planes soaring overhead, signaling an imminent airdrop. Exercise caution, as the drop may be pilfered or vanish if you delay your arrival. It appears our benefactors aim to maintain a tight grip on the supplies accessible to us, adding an element of urgency to the pursuit of these crucial resources.
Colored smoke markers will be visible one the cargo is released by the aircraft and guide you to their landing zone. The smoke will mark the airdrop's location for a short time after it lands, and if you have a GPS, markers will show up for a limited time.

As has been true for the history of airdropped supplies. Occasionally the pallets will land someplace inaccessible, or nearly so. Some will land on top of buildings or up mountains, while other will get tangled up in trees.
You can access some with creative thinking, like climbing on a vehicle to get on a roof, or driving uphill of the pallet and bumping it down. Proper positioning of a vehicle can also use it to hold you in place while you loot the pallet.
Unfortunately some are just lost to us, whether they be up trees or otherwise out of reach.
