Supply Drops are a loot box microtransaction feature that has appeared in Call of Duty titles since Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The similar feature appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 as Reserve Crates. They were also originally intended to be featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but were removed in favor of a Battle Pass.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare[]

In Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Supply Drops are given to the player in different ways, including time played.

It can give out character gear, reinforcements, and weapon variants. Weapon variants are customized weapons that modify the base stats of that weapon. Most weapons have about ten variants (some exceptions are the CEL-3 Cauterizer, the MP40 and STG-44), which change the aesthetics as well as the stats. Character gear modifies the player's character and Exoskeleton, similar to Create-A-Soldier. Last, Reinforcements are items, including Perks and Scorestreaks, that are dropped into a multiplayer match at predetermined times by an Orbital Care Package.

Supply Drops are acquired every 45 minutes of in-game gameplay or purchased as Advanced Supply Drops from the in game store. They will be received upon either getting a kill or a death. Some ways are from earning XP, time spent playing, or earning medals. They can be earned not just in multiplayer, but also Exo Survival and the campaign. However, they are all items for multiplayer.

Supply Drop weapons can appear differently from the base gun, ranging from simple color changes to completely new barrels, iron sights, or other exterior changes to the weapon. However, the only difference in function is reflected by the stat changes. Selecting a camouflage on a Supply Drop weapon may not entirely overwrite the unique colors. Some parts will still be visible in the base color.

While some Supply Drops change magazine capacities, total ammunition remains the same (unless there's a change in the number of magazines available), as well as the maximum reserve ammunition remaining the same.

Supply Drop weapons can be used in Private Match. However, the base weapon must be unlocked before the variants can be used. The same goes for weapon variants: they cannot be selected until the variant has been acquired through a Supply Drop. Both weapon variants and Supply Drop weapons cannot be selected in Create-A-Class or when customizing default loadouts in Local multiplayer, but sometimes can be picked up from bots.

Some Supply Drop weapons also appear in the campaign, where they are used by the juggernauts of Atlas. The Bal-27 is the Carbon variant, the Ameli is the Swift variant, the Tac-19 is the Runner variant, the Atlas 45 is the A1 variant, and the KF5 is a slightly altered version of the Single Stack variant.

Supply Drop Rewards[]

  • Retired- Retired items are specific weapon variants and gear that were completely removed from Supply Drops and Advanced Supply Drops on June 9th, 2015 for Xbox One and July 9th, 2015 for PlayStation 4 and PC.[1][2] Players who own Retired items can use them, but these items cannot be newly obtained by other players. Unlike Legendary, however, if the player redeems these after June 9th, 2015, they cannot be reobtained from supply drops. Regardless of the previous rarity of a Retired item, the player is awarded 3000 XP for removing a Retired item from their Armory.
  • Legendary- Legendary items are the highest rarity available in supply drops, being released on June 9th, 2015 for Xbox One and later for PlayStation 4 and PC.[1] On July 21st, 2015, the SVO, the STG44, and the Blunderbuss were introduced on Xbox One, then later on PlayStation 4 and PC, with each one having its own Legendary variant.
  • Elite - Elite items are the second rarest quality of items in supply drops. Elite weapons are characterized by engravings and golden camouflages, as well as wooden features, and have six stat changes, with three being increased and three decreased (unless it also gets an attachment), making them handle very differently from the base weapon.
  • Professional - Professional items are uncommon but not rare items. Professional weapons have four stat changes, with two being increased and two decreased (unless it also gets an attachment), and often have modified models, such as longer barrels or different sights.
  • Enlisted - Enlisted items are the most common items. Enlisted weapons have two stat changes, with one being increased and one decreased, and usually have white camouflages applied.
  • Reinforcements - Reinforcements are temporary bonus items such as time-limited Double XP, Rapid Supply or Orbital Care Packages. If the player earns Rapid Supply or Double XP when it is already activated, it will be added to the player's current time. The time depends on the rarity of the reinforcement: Elite reinforcements are 45 minutes, Professional reinforcements are 25 minutes, and Enlisted are 10 minutes.

Advanced Supply Drops[]

As of the March 3rd, 2015 update on Xbox One[3], players are able to buy Advanced Supply Drops in individually or in bundles on consoles only. There are always three items per Advanced Supply Drop, with one item being a weapon variant, and one of professional or greater grade. The player cannot receive reinforcements (except for XP), and are able to receive items exclusive to Advanced Supply Drops. Items earned in Advanced Supply Drops have their own armoury slot. Advanced Supply Drops could also be earned by reaching level 20, 30, 40, and after prestiging in multiplayer. Since the PC version lacks the option of purchasing Advanced Supply Drops, this is the only way to obtain them on the platform.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III[]

"No guarantees. Slight chance of dropping Rare, Legendary or Epic items."
— Common Supply Drop In-game description.
"Guaranteed Rare item with increased chance of Legendary and Epic. Guaranteed Weapon or Specialist item. Includes bonus Cryptokeys."
— Rare Supply Drop In-game description.


Supply Drops return in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. They can be acquired through the Black Market feature in Multiplayer only on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

There are two types of supply drops: Common Supply Drops (costing 10 Cryptokeys), and Rare Supply Drops (costing 30 Cryptokeys or 200 COD Points). Supply drops can give out specific camouflages for weapons, Calling Cards, taunts and gestures for specialists, variants of attachments and exclusive weapons (including melee weapons such as Wrench and ranged weapons such as MX Garand). Most items are cosmetic, though the exclusive weapons have statistical differences to those available through ranking up. Many of the weapons are somehow unique and have a defining feature compared to the conventional weapons, or throwbacks to player favorites in previous Treyarch games.

Weapons obtained from Supply Drops, just like in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, can only be used in online Custom Matches if the player has obtained the weapon from a Supply Drop, and cannot be used in Local multiplayer either until acquiring them in online multiplayer.

As of update 1.04, the player can burn duplicates of items that they already had for a partial refund on cryptokeys.

As of another update, players who own the Season Pass on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One received a ten-pack bundle of Supply Drops, as well as a special Supply Drop which is guaranteed to give the player a Supply Drop-exclusive weapon.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare[]

Supply Drops return once again in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Just like in previous titles, Supply Drops contain multiplayer loot such as customization options, weapon variants, and calling cards. They are available from the Quartermaster. Duplicate gear earned is recycled for Salvage, able to be used to purchase weapon variants known as Prototype Weapons.

Weapon variants come with applied default camouflages that reflect the quality of the weapon by colour. All weapon variants of a certain quality (Except Epic quality variants which come with their own custom finishes and appearances) have the same default camouflage and appearance, and in turn look the same. Weapon variants of the same quality can be distinguished by their pickup text, which contains the variant.

Common Supply Drops cost 10 Keys, and Rare Supply Drops cost 30 Keys or 200 CoD Points, just like Call of Duty: Black Ops III. A regular or Zombie Common Supply Drop might be given at random when logging into the game for the first time.

The rarity associated with the qualities are synonymous with the Call of Duty: Black Ops III version:

Rarities in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Common Rare Legendary Epic
Common Rarity Icon IW Rare Rarity Icon IW Legendary Rarity Icon IW Epic Rarity Icon IW

Supply Drops also exist in Zombies, where they are called Zombie Crates. Zombie Crates and Supply Drops use the same pool of keys and CoD points. They contain a Fate and Fortune Card booster pack in addition to Supply Drop loot, but contain only two Supply Drop items instead of three.

Bribes & Hacks[]

Bribes and Hacks are supply drops with a preselected reward or quality inside. Bribes and Hacks offer at least one item in each drop to be predetermined. Bribes and Hacks are purchased with keys or salvage or earned from contracts, and are geared towards specific categories of items, and some specifically for one item.

MKII variants function identically to their normal variants, however with three main exceptions - MKII variants award a bonus 15% XP per kill, they can only be obtained from Supply Drops and they cannot accept camouflages in customization. MKII variants can be noted by a moving hexagonal camouflage on the weapon that reflects the quality of the weapon. Weapons exclusively available from promotional means (such as the Hailstorm Thunder variant obtained by playing Call of Duty: Black Ops III) do not have a MKII variant. MKII variants are given their own unique supply drop card to distinguish from their regular counterparts.
