Is the Mozambique the only weapon you get on drop or am I just cursed?

I've been testing out this over and over again, and every time I drop in, I pick a random supply bin and there's a Mozambique. Or I walk into a random building in Estates an immediately see one, or a...

@chgid2207083 If it's the only weapon you're getting on drop or can find. I think you're either picking the wrong places to drop to, dropping to late or to early and thus all you can find is the moz..

Make sure you drop right around 430M, by the time you leave the ship you'll be at 400M. This will allow you to reach maximum drop velocity over the shortest distance possible, thus you'll land first.

From there, opt to land on buildings and/or the blankets on the ground that have loot. Only drop on bins if you absolutely have no choice and make sure you land on at least 3 bins. Bins are big gamble on drop you can't see what you're dropping on, so you can't skip it for something else. That's the best way I can describe it, if you fly over a blanket and all you see is a moz as you dropping, then you know to opt for the cluster of 3-4 bins or to just run inside the building.

The moz is not terrible on drop it just takes a ton of practice to make work. There are definitely worse guns you can land on (snipers). I'll take a moz on drop over a sniper every single day.

Honestly I'd rather find a Longbow than a Mozambique. I literally wiped a squad with a Longbow on drop yesterday. That never happens with the Eva-8 or Moz.

@chgid2207083 Same, man! I love landing on a longbow or sentinel when the drop is contested, even better if there's an HCOG or a 2X next to it. I seldom keep them for very long, but that quickscope dmg on white armor is no joke.

  @pandareno1999 Oh yeah that can hit hard, you just can't miss your shots.

    I feel like the times that I am stuck with Mozam2020 is when I drop in a POI with a lot of other squads, and even then the floor and pills end up offering something mid-tier like a PDW. I tend to play a lot more patiently and drop late, which is why I don't have this happen as often.
    Consider that loot is gonna be gobbled up as the local population increases, so it might be what you find the most of.
