After having played this game A LOT... and with having purchased the Scavenger perk thing, I'm pretty sure what they mean by "Item drops" are....items dropped from the zombies you encounter (only if you fight them) while traveling from one location to another.

I actually kept a log of items collected at the different locations, with and without the Scavenger perk, and the items found at the locations never changed. Since those items wouldn't really be considered "drops" (to those of us who play RPG games and such), and "drops" are more so for items you find after fighting stuff, this perk is for fighting those zombies you encounter.

Just my thoughts... I could be wrong, but if I am, I'm not at all sure what else they could be referring to honestly.

Nevermind. I retract this statement. They must have updated this at some point since I last kept a log of the items found with/without the Scavenger perk, because I just started a new game, without the perk, and collected items from the Gas Station and the Supermarket, then made a new game, with the perk, and did the same thing....and the number of items found is a lot more. I'll post pics of both shortly. :)
