Drop% is the rate recorded in Forever once a source has been looted ten times; a greyed figure is the vanilla 1.12 chance from the world data (classic data: from the patch 1.12 world data, not yet confirmed in forever). Spawns counts the source's spawn points in the world data. "Side" names which side can kill the NPC when the other finds it friendly. The lead picks the best chance among sources that are not a rare spawn and have at least three spawn points.
