Where and When Crates Drop
Not as important part: When
The crates themselves will drop every few minutes, but they cannot be perfectly timed due to RNG.
With the RNG it's hard to determine if there's a difference between Erangel and Miramar. But by using the timer for the blue zone in the bottom right the first aidrop will usually start around 2:45 for the very first blue zone.
The best way to find the first plane is to just keep and eye/ear out for the plane, it's hard to miss.
Now the important part: Where
The first airdrop will always land within the first white circle, doesn't matter where but it will 100% guaranteed be within the first play area.
Any airdrop after the first one will land anywhere within the blue circle, making it riskier to loot.
Now that the basics of the plane are down, let's cover an overview of the contents in an airdrop.

Airdrop Armor / Bags / Clothing

This is the world-spawned level three backpack for comparison.
Airdrop Healing Items

- Low Chances: FirstAidKit/Painkiller
The adrenaline syringe is the only airdrop exclusive healing item. When used it gives 100% boost, allowing for high healing over time and a running speed boost.
Easiest Way To Obtain An Airdrop
Note: Due to RNG, this does not have a 100% success rate, but is the easiest way to capture an airdrop and practice with the airdrop exclusive weapons. This is also easiest during a 1-Man Squad game.
Step 1: Land Between Georgopol and Rozhok Erangel.
All red dots mark a possible car spawn, the roads on the map above have high density for car spawns.
Step 1: Land Los Leones or Pecado Miramar
While there are car garages in the desert, they're extremely uncommon, the only one I could find was at Hacienda del Patron.
Step 2: Loot a bit before the play area is shown
If you have confirmed there's a car near you, then begin looting nearby buildings. Try to find a backpack and a primary.
Step 3: Go to the center of the circle
As soon as the white circle appears, begin driving. Place a marker in the middle of the white circle and drive as fast as you can. But be careful if the middle is near a highly populated area, or surrounded by a lot of trees. You need safety and vision for the next step.
Step 4: Wait for the plane
As said at the beginning of this guide, the plane should spawn around 2:45 on the circle timer. Track the plane and wait for it to drop, and the second it drops..
Step 5: Rush the airdrop
Yes it might sound dumb, but early game most people are too busy looting (especially in squads) to go for an airdrop. Most times it will be an easy grab. Just get in, loot, and drive away.
Quick tip: If you have a teammate with you, and the gun is an M249, load the gun in the car as you drive away.
