Tech Level and Player Level Requirements
Supply drops will tend to over time provide higher tech level items as the number of drops performed grows. Some higher tech level items require minimum player levels before they can be used by the player. (Note that the levels of referrals and allies do not matter for additional bonuses earned from your Ally Inventory). Different categories of equipment require different levels to unlock.
