When there is a war, supplies are one of the most important things to have. Without them, you can also quickly call him right away. Due to the war going on in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, you will sometimes see supply drops falling from the sky that are destined for Agnus or Keves’ forces. Intercept these crates before enemies can get their hands on them and grab their supplies so you and your allies can use them instead.
How to spot supply drops
Supply Drops are pretty easy to find once you know what you’re looking for. You will be introduced to supply drops during chapter three as you take on Ethel’s hero quest. During this mission, you are tasked with tracking down a supply drop in the distance after meeting up with Ethel.
Supply drops you find are marked with red smoke that disperses into the air. If you see the red smoke, head towards it to find the supply drop. When you are close to the drop, you can press the ZR button to check your location.

Open a supply drop
Supply Drops are packed with a lot of useful gear. When you open one, you will usually get equippable items and crafting materials. You can also get rare items like Nopon Coins from Supply Drops, so it’s important to always check where they land.
To open a supply drop, you simply need to walk up to it and press the A button to interact with it. This will start a short cutscene where two of your characters open the box. Watch out for enemies that are sure to be around the Supply Drop. You will need to remove them before you can open the box.
