If a drop is given, it has a 50/50 chance of being a weapon or an armor.

The drop chance is unaffected by Overkill, who kills it, or any other factor.

Some enemies always drop equipment, whereas others drop some only rarely. Unlike the item drop chances, which are always the same, the equipment drop chances vary between enemies. Not every opponent drops equipment, although quite a few do. Opponents can drop weapons and armor pieces, but the equipment drops are separate from the item drops. Most equipment pieces come with auto-abilities, but once the player reaches Guadosalam, they can also customize auto-abilities onto equipment as long as they have the required number of items, and as long as the equipment has at least one empty slot. Pieces of equipment can have a maximum of four auto-abilities. In his unvarnished, harrowing testimony, Philipp von Boeselager-who died on May 1, 2008-gives eloquent voice to the courageous spirit of these men whose profound sense of honor could not be dimmed by the diabolical propaganda of the Third Reich.See also: Final Fantasy X auto-abilities, or Equipment drop mechanics Boeselager managed to return his units to the front before, one by one, the other conspirators were rounded up, tortured, and executed.

When the bomb failed to kill Hitler, the SS launched a terrifying purge of senior army officers. Boeselager delivered the explosives and then led his unwitting men toward Berlin in order to carry out the coup d'etat. After one aborted attempt-in which Boeselager was assigned to shoot both Hitler and Heinrich Himmler-it was decided that a bomb would be used to assassinate the Führer. But in the summer of 1942, when he witnessed the regime's criminal brutality toward Jews and Gypsies, his patriotism quickly turned to disgust, and he joined a group of officers intent on killing Hitler. When World War II erupted, Philipp von Boeselager, son of an aristocratic Catholic family, fought enthusiastically for his country as a cavalry lieutenant.
