IC3D Airdrops lets players call a supply drop with a flare and retrieve loot from a parachute crate. The creator’s current listing identifies a free, escrow-protected resource for ESX, QBCore and Qbox. Free access does not mean the Lua implementation is open source. Use the specific Airdrops listing rather than similarly named territory or graffiti products.
Original IC3D Airdrops distribution
Check dependencies and the delivered configuration
The creator’s release lists ox_lib as a requirement. The store names ox_inventory, qs-inventory and QBCore’s default inventory, with automatic detection. Verify your exact inventory and framework versions against the files you receive; automatic detection is not evidence that custom forks work. Confirm the actual resource folder, item definitions and dependency order before adding it to server.cfg.
Balance manual and scheduled drops separately
The listing describes flare calls, timed crate opening, item-by-item loot chances and scheduled drops with minimum-player conditions. It also advertises a 1% kamikaze event. Confirm which options your delivered version exposes, then test the chosen loot table and opening time on a separate instance. Check whether multiple successful item rolls can create more loot than your economy intends.
Check visibility and access controls
Cayo Perico restriction and job-gated alerts are configurable according to the release. The /airdropnotify toggle suppresses alerts while keeping map blips; do not assume it hides the drop. The creator also lists /spawnairdrop for administrators. Verify who can invoke it and what ordinary players can see before enabling a public event.
Test two players opening the same crate, a full inventory, reconnects, resource restart and concurrent manual/scheduled drops. Confirm cooldowns, one intended reward per eligible opening and consistent crate cleanup. The creator advertises distance and rate checks plus automatic bans, but these are not an independent security certification. Review false positives before relying on punishment. This review checked the original release and live store listing; it did not inspect encrypted code or run a gameplay benchmark.
