Wait there are drops now? I thought zedconomy was only unlocking USB sticks or buying character packs. Where can I see all the possible drops? Or is it unknown yet? Also do weapon skins drop?

I keep getting this (Along with the Woodland Scar) and it doesn't appear in my inventory at all. I also don't see any copies of the Woodland Scar for me to put up for sale when I get more and more.

We played a lot over the last 3 days and you guys are not alone with it, same for me - multiple drops (Standard Headband) and for my friends (White Flatcap) but only one exemplar of it in our inventories.

Seems that the hotfix never solved the drop problem.

A little remark: Asked ten friends on steam what they got as their first drop.
8 - cosmetic items (Headbands, Flatcaps, AA12-Woodland skin), 1 - Usb, 1 - still no drop.

Looking as I didn't get anything else than a crate,I was also wondering if you can drop an item or only crates you need to open with a key?

You can receive drop items as well like weapon skin or hat, just not the highest quality as those reserved for crate only.

Its almost impossible to drop something. I played about 15 hours and I dropped 1 item. Headband Green...
I dont even know how rare the other items are.

Can anyone that has gotten more than 1 drop chime in. It's starting to look like the maximum drop is 1 per person.

I guess this is Tripwire's way to drive up prices on the market by limiting supply to get a hefty profit from the fees.

I got the following so far:

1 white headband, 1 purple headband, 1 green headband, 1 SCAR woodland camo skin. I got most of the stuff in the preview build. I'm either really unlucky since the update released or some tweaks were made.

I've gotten one USB, was in a solo game I died in, on an old map.
That was after maybe 2 hours of gameplay since the update. 25+ more hours since that, I've gotten nothing else yet. None of the 'false drops' either.

So I'd say if it's working as intended for me, it seems it's a timed cooldown thing. Maybe one drop per player per week is the intention, and the people getting multiple drops already are bugged luckily?

The preview build had a much higher drop rate.

One drop on my first game since the update.
25 to 30 games since, nothing.

I know random is random, but that seems like a pretty low drop rate!

Played for about 18 hours in version 1016.

Normal, Hard, HoE.
4, 7, 10 waves.
Some custom maps, mostly official maps.
All on ranked servers.
Mostly wins.

I got no drops so far. People I played with reported occasional drops so it can't have been the servers.

this, but with ski mask blue/green, not that it bothers me right now since skins i like arent even accepted yet.

the drop was on first game/win in 1015 patty normal gunslinger.

Well after 3 days and a few dozen games of multi-player coop... I played my first solo game in 6mths. On victory got my first drop! ^^
 
I've probably played at least 16 hours (probably 3-4 hour increments) and have got 2 drops.

It went as thus-
Play two matches = Nothing
Hear people saying they got one in Solo.
Played one Solo match + one HMTECH101 Skin
8 more hours of gaming + one Mr Foster classic suit
6 more hours of gaming = nothing more?

My friend plays about 8 hours and only gets one drop after I tell him to try the Solo match thing.
If its set up to where a player has a "chance" to get a drop in a certain time frame increments it must be a very low % chance.

Sadly not my friend, sadly not. :(

LOL says the guy who got to preview the update and make a video! :p

:D

Anyways you got a couple of drops... I wouldnt be surprised if the code includes if statements such as IF tw_employee THEN.... spam_dropitems(99) & IF forum_mod THEN spam_dropitems(5) .....

Okay.... okay... its a conspiracy! ;)
