The throwable weapon type is perhaps the most consistently misused in the game. While they can do immediate damage, especially the Frag Grenade and Molotov Cocktail, they're best used as a denial weapon. By laying down fire and tossing these weapons into an area, you're denying this area to your adversary, allowing for greater control of their movement and their basic abilities. For instance, the Smoke Grenade can help obscure your movements, and the Stun Grenade can help to remove sight and sound from your adversary, at least temporarily.
Air Drops or Care Packages are random equipment drops that come randomly timed during matches from passing C-130s which may contain ammunition, weapons or equipment. The plane's distinctive turboprop engines can be heard well before it drops off a crate, giving players plenty of notice on arrival. During a random point on its flight path, a crate will be dropped from the plane, its descent slowed down by a single large parachute, a visible flashing white light on the crate itself improving its visibility. Once it hits the ground, a red smoke flare will be activated, signaling to anyone within its line of sight that it is ready to be opened. This makes it both dangerous for ill-equipped players and a feeding ground for those who are well-equipped.
