# Cash Drops & Extractions

## Cash Drops & Extractions

Cash Drops are bundles of money scattered across the map that players can loot during a match. Cash Drops differ in size depending on the Risk Server (more risk, more prizes).

When you collect Cash Drops, the cash is **not immediately secured**. Instead, it becomes extractable earnings that you carry with you for the rest of the session.

This system works alongside [Elimination & Survival](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/elimination-and-survival) and [Earnings Retention Bonus (ERB)](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/earnings-retention-bonus-erb), so extraction timing matters as much as combat.

To keep the cash, you must not be Eliminated for at least 5 min, then successfully survive and extract. If you are eliminated before extracting, other players can loot your body and steal the cash you collected on the floor.

Because of this risk, Cash Drops create a novel opportunity, encouraging players to hunt for valuable loot, while deciding when it’s safest to extract.
