Drop versus place

One is a pile, one is a pin

Short answer

Dropping dumps it at your feet. Placing sets it down like you meant to. Piles are invitations.

Also: place item · drop item

How it works

A dropped plate is a glint. A placed crate is a statement. Both persist until the server says they don't.

What to do

Place in a bush you can name without a grid. Drop only if you are already running.

Don't

Don't drop a gun on tarmac for the VOD.
