rare drops

Elusive game rewards

Rare drops are uncommon items that fall from defeated enemies or completed challenges in video games, typically with low probability.

The rarity creates value—players may grind for hours hoping for a specific drop: I finally got the rare drop after fifty runs.

The term has spread to describe any hard-to-obtain reward from repeated attempts.
