Developer listens to community
The change introduced last year, that loadout drops appear automatically in the second and sixth circle with a time delay, was met with a lot of criticism in the community and even caused some players to hang up the shooter. The negative feedback on the changed game mechanic has already been addressed by Raven Software in a tweet from 11 January.
This is a multifaceted topic that is being looked at from several angles by the team as we step through all feedback on the Caldera experience so far.

Affects Battle Royale area only
The change, however, only affects Battle Royale mode and not Vanguard Royale. According to the developer, Vanguard Royale will still have the unpopular delayed drops. It is unclear if or when these will also be changed.
