drop rate

Loot appearance chance

Drop rate is the probability that an enemy or event in a video game will yield a specific item when defeated or completed.

Game developers adjust drop rates to control progression and keep players engaged.

Outside gaming, drop rate can refer to any frequency of occurrence in a system.
