Crate Drops?


Horndog_SA

Recommended Posts

Ok, not wanting to go over the same old nonsense that people just cannot understand, that you must not be in the green circle or the crate wont drop, thats so old and really, everyone should know about that by now.

My problem is i dont even get notified of them or see any circles.... my one account they work fine but my 2nd account and level 162, i have yet to see a damn crate and im trying to get all my plat awards....

does anyone have info on this or how to unlock?

some say you must do Ron missions, ive done them, doesnt help, some say trevor calls you from time to time and that you should do those missions, that im not too sure if i have done, there are so many theories but no one seems to know...

strange though as i have seen many people do not see armored trucks, i get them in every session and theres always too damn many of them lol, i see simeon's cars that he wants and all the rest of the things we supposed to get, just not the crates.

Dude you got a better shot seeing palm trees growing in Antarctica, then you will ever seeing a crate drop in the green circle. For me probably 2 out of every 10 times it's announced they actually drop.

Last night I was flying in the vestra and I noticed near the prison there was that red smoke that marks a crate drop but it never said anything about one dropping.

 

I'm not even sure if they're supposed to be dropping but the smoke was there. Illuminati.

I got my first crate drop today in about 2 weeks. I've seen a fair amount of armoured trucks recently so they've swapped roles on my end. Shame that either by my crap luck or a common glitch, money rarely even drops from it.

 

If it helps, I barely play any missions except Rooftop Rumble anymore.

 

As far as I'm concerned its been 5 months now and neither of them work properly still. Only Simeon's special car works but thats more straight forward. Although I've had it before where it doesn't pay me sometimes. I get white writing at the bottom telling me I have but it never goes into my account. Thats only happened a few times though.

If you see someone in the circle,give up,i won't drop(ever)if someone been inside the circle,i usually will go to the drop location and kill them for making the crate not dropping.The crate will drop if people ignore it and do their own thing,and when it drops,go for it.

Basically nobody read the OP then, Cretins.

 

Oh my f*cking God!!! He's not talking about the green circle bug!.

 

 

 

I have the exact same problem, OP. Been that way since just after 1.06. I've put in a support ticket to R* (4 or 5 weeks ago?) but heard nothing, and I don't expect to hear anything either. If you havn't already, you should also report it, because it seems only the things that people complain about get fixed, and I think this bug only effects a minority of players.

I was in a lobby during the 1.10 patch that had two crates drop within probably 5 minutes of each other. I got them both and got 3 or 4 thousand RP each time.

 

I spend most of my time in invite only though so I don't know about the recent update.

Even better? Had this happen last night: the green zone was straigh the middle of the city. Needless-to-say, the crate never dropped...

Crate event this weekend, apparently 5 times as many crates being dropped.

If you don't see one there is an issue..

 

Honestly, there's never much in them anyway.. they should drop every 10 minutes..

When Beach Bum came out I managed to get one single crate. I waited inside the green circle right next to the smoke and the plane dropped it quite accurately. Then about 12 enemy NPCs spawned all around it killing me. I still got it.

 

Since then, I've seen it announce numerous times but the crates never drop. Last time I saw one it said 5hrs. Then 3hrs. Then 10 lhrs. Then 13hrs. Then the green circle disappeared. Haven't seen one since.

5 x 0 = 0

 

I've had the same problem as the OP. I can't pin point when they stopped for me, but it was after Christmas.

Mine was unlocked but then became locked. Do a few Ron missions they have to be job invites not from the menu. Then u will get a text from Trevor. Do his mission. After wait for Ron to call you. Do not hang up. He will tell you about new merchandise tpi will drop blah blah blah. After the call everyone in your lobby must have crate drops unlock

i thought "out of harmony" was the one mission to trigger drops for the first time. even once saw a vid where the guy got a call from ron right after that mission, and not the usual "have you been picking up..."-crap, but the call where he first instructs you about crates. pain in the ass mission though, with that timer being set really low. i once failed literally 2 meters in front of the yellow circle. rage ensued.

Apparently the green circle thing was patched in the last update (or the one before) and crates will still now drop if someone is in the green circle. I dont know if the patch actually worked though because of the rockstars.

lol, someone who can READ, jeez, everywhere i look, forums, google everybody is on about the damn circle and dont understand that the crate wont drop if someone is in it yet my queation has nothing to do with the damn circle but the ability to be notified in game of any crate drops whatsoever, anyways yeah, ive also now reported it.

I haven't seen a crate drop since I was in my early 10-20's and I'm nearing 50 at the moment.

 

Just a tip, don't even bother sending tickets to R* support, they give you automated responses after weeks or like I experienced, months.

It's pretty crap.

 

Just post it on the community and hope R* actually reads.

I started getting crate drops a couple of patches ago but they dried up again. None in the last few weeks.

 

And Farnkiel - Don't think Horndog was having a go at you. :)

Unfortunately this is still glitched out. What seems worse is that it glitches the whole session. Since there can only be one global event (crate drop, armored car, HPV, etc) active at any given time, no other events spawn after the drop is aborted. If you join a session after somebody screwed it up, you won't even see the green circle.

 

I have noticed a new crate inbound message after this sort of hang-up, but if the crate does drop it is not shown on the map. I have wondered about checking all known drop sites after I see that second message and see if I can locate a smoke signal, but my playtime and attention span are both quite limited these days...

I actually picked up one this very day. I did notice when I was lower level that there was a drop location near Fort Zancudo once that had no drops at all.

Amen.

 

This is the last response I got from a R* Support ticket.

Really! Solved?! I just told you it didn't work, lol. Whata joke.

Yay!!!! finally...

Not sure what it was but for the 1st time with this character now level 165 have i seen and gotten the crate drop, it didnt require doing this "crystal clear out" or the "harmony" mission as i didnt get them.

i simply did 2 Ron's mission although ive done them a million times coz he kept giving me "wet work" and "deamon run" so i did about 15 other missions from other people, not sure if you must do a certain amount of missions as i had only done 24 with this character, now im on 39. other than that i did some races which im always doing so my best guess is you have to do a fair amount of missions.

oh i forgot also i had only completed 2 survivals, i did do one more so my stats show 3 out of 8 done, other than that nothing new ive done besides all the random missions.

And just to let people know, my 1st psn account character i was getting them all the time, this 2nd psn acc character ive been playing since 12th Dec 2013 and ive never seen any crate drops or even been notified of any.

That's half your problem sorted.. They don't happen at all on Private sessions.

 

~ and reading down I see you sorted the other half of your problem (initialising the drops after doing a certain mission), so all the time you are not in a private lobby, you should now see them :D
