They only come when there's a special event going on

Not sure about create drops. How does one create drops?

 

In the event that you actually meant crate drops, I just picked up two in a row about 10 minutes ago.

[AgentHoggarth]

WHAT!!!!! even the normal creates, i fought that was special create drops that had better rewards in the create

I hope you know the word is 'crate' not 'create'.

 

Anyway, I only see crate drops when I glitch myself into good sport lobbies. I only see Simeon vehicles and armoured trucks in bad sport.

[AgentHoggarth]

well im not in bad sport lobbys so that rules that out, i used to get them all the time i always just went for them, ild leave the car and money trucks for the other players but the crate was mine. now i never see them?

That's entirely untrue. I see crate drops in almost every public lobby I join. I see special crate drops relatively often, too.

Hey OP, this is a little known bug (not to be confused with the green circle of never dropping crates bug), that only effects a minority of players. I've had the same issue since around 1.06.

 

I suggest you report it to R* as they'll only fix it if there's enough people with the issue.

I just see a green circle and no one is ever in it. No one bothers either to it being useless or everyone knows crates don't drop. Or it may just be me as I always go there and never, ever have I seen a crate drop. I used to get them before the Valentines Day DLC. Now I can spend 20 minutes in the circle, take out all enemies, scout the whole area to make sure everyone is dead and wait. I came on the forum for an hour while I was sitting in the lobby. Turns out green circles are great places to sit and do nothing. No one came after me while I was there in that one hour of not moving.

So yeah, no crates at all for me. I get the armored trucks now, which I never got before. So maybe there's a swap thing going on.

^goddamnit, am I confusing the green circle of never dropping crates bug, then?

I got a crate earlier on in the evening.

This.

They still happen, they're just relatively rare

Not true for all players. True for most, sure. Some people even get them regularly still.

 

But for a minority, crates havn't existed AT ALL for some time now.
