What does this setting do?
The default of 540 seconds is nine minutes. That is how long players have between the announcement and the moment the crate starts falling.
This window is the actual game around a cargo drop: it decides who can make it at all. Nine minutes is enough to cross the island by vehicle but not on foot from the far side. Shorten it and you favour groups that are mobile and nearby anyway; lengthen it and everyone gets a chance — and more people arrive at once.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
540 (default).
Classic PvP
540. Enough time for several groups to arrive.
Hardcore
300 to 540.
What to watch out for
Very short lead times decide the drop in advance
Below two minutes, whoever happened to be nearby always wins. That removes the competition that makes the event worthwhile.
