Airdrop

Description

Airdrops will fall in certain spots on the map every few minutes. They appear to be a stretched out ROBLOX free model box. It will fall out of the sky above the location with a green parachute. Once it lands, the parachute will disappear and a green sparkler will go off, marking the location of the airdrop with a green smoke effect. Players are able to see the green smoke effect from anywhere on the map, making airdrops a high-priority target whenever one lands.

Attributes

When a player walks near an airdrop, they will hear a crackling sound from the sparkler and will be given the prompt to open it. Upon opening the airdrop, the player will be given three items:

Cannon

Trumpet

Healing Potion

Cannon

The cannon comes loaded with seven cannonballs. Upon clicking, a cannonball will be fired from the cannon. It is important to know that the cannon fires at an arc, meaning you have to use the cannon for a little while before you get the hang of the way aiming works. A cannonball will create an explosion upon impact that is similar to the grenade. Much like the grenade, this impact is capable of flinging or destroying the limbs of players. When the cannon has been fired, a smoke particle effect will come out from the barrel which indicates the reload/cooldown time. Here are some strategies for using it effectively:

• Staying on the mountain provides a large view of the beach, the pit, the intersection and the room inside the hill. This height difference can negate the cannon's projectile arc since there is a long distance between the cannonball and the ground.

• Using the cannon as a mobility tool is very effective. To perform a cannon jump, you need to sprint, jump and fire the cannon slightly behind but also below you. You will take 20-40 damage from this and will be launched upwards and forwards. You can use this to climb onto areas such as the viewing platform.

Once you have a cannon, any further airdrops you collect will give you an additional 7 cannonballs rather than giving you a new tool altogether.

Trumpet

The Trumpet is a Roblox bugle tool. Upon clicking with the trumpet equipped, you will raise it to your mouth and blow into it. Shortly after, the location you clicked on will be struck by a medium-sized rock which will crush anything that stands underneath it. The Trumpet has 4 total shots in it with a reload time of around 20 seconds. The Trumpet, unlike the Cannon, will not be refilled upon collecting another airdrop. Once you use your 4 shots, it is impossible to get more unless you die, respawn and collect an airdrop. Here are some good ways you can use it in combat:

• Use the Trumpet sparingly, as it only has four shots but it is a guaranteed instant kill. It is better to target players who are immobile or being a little too defensive, since the cannon also has an area of effect that deals massive damage.

• The Trumpet can be used to deny an area for a short amount of time. Because of the gigantic hitbox, it will crush anything in the vicinity and will remain for a few seconds. This can mostly be seen when blocking the secret room under the mountain.

The trumpet should be used as a secondary source of damage for people who are outside the range of the cannon, since you can easily close the gap with people who are only walking backwards/using basic strafing mechanics by just firing the cannon in their general direction.

Healing Potion

The healing potion is the most useful item from an airdrop. When used, the cap of the bottle will come off and a sound will be heard. The player will then hold it to their mouth and the bottle will disappear, giving the player 50% of their health back. By the very intelligent scientists j1k77 and zani102, it has been discovered that the liquid inside is actually white. The Healing Potion can be dropped, but is not movable by any non-solid forces. The only way to move it around is by using the Firework item. Here are some effective ways to use the healing potion:

• Use it to save yourself from burning or traps. Fire from a fire bomb or torch and beartraps are guaranteed to take at least half of your health, and the healing potion also heals half health. You can negate fire and beartraps entirely just by drinking the potion! You'll still be charred, but that won't matter because you can bludgeon your enemy to death!

• Use it to get an extra bit of health in combat. The healing potion heals 50 health, which essentially gives you 50 extra health. This means that it would take five non-critical hits from a heavy weapon to kill you, two slices of a chainsaw and five more stabs from a rapier.

Scientists j1k77 and zani102 did some experimenting on a small server, and found some interesting things:

• The healing potion can only be moved by the push of a solid object, not by the force of an explosion.

• Firing a trumpet at the side of a potion will make the meteor impact face sideways, as well as making the impact zone seem like orange jell-o.

• The healing potion does not float in water. It will sink to the bottom almost immediately.

• The glass itself is orange, not the liquid.

• There isn't actually a tube in the potion bottle itself, it's just a cylinder.

• The potion is made of 5 parts.
