loot drop
Defeated enemy's treasure
A loot drop is an item or collection of items that appears when an enemy is defeated or a container is opened in a video game.
The term comes from the randomized reward systems in role-playing and action games, where players kill monsters or complete challenges hoping for valuable gear: I got a legendary sword from that boss loot drop.
The anticipation of what might drop drives much of the gameplay loop in genres from dungeon crawlers to battle royales.
