Alright, there is a lot of stuff here:
So, there is a variable in the game called "score_to_drop" that is given by:
The amount of players * Starting score + The variable "zombie_powerup_drop_increment"
"zombie_powerup_drop_increment" equals to "2000" at the start of the match.
Then, it puts the global score (the TOTAL score of each player) in a variable called "curr_total_score".
Then, if this last variable > score_to_drop = Drops a power up (then it multiplies the zombie_powerup_drop_increment by 1.14 but meh)
Basically, the more you go far in the game, the more points you need to get for a powerup to come, the less powerups you are going to get. Easy nuff?
On the internetz i found a tool to calculate how many points you need to get the next powerup : You must login or register to view this content.

Don't quote on me that, but i'm pretty sure that the camping/running around does not affect at all the powerup drops, however, i reccomend to kill all the zombies when they are INSIDE the map, because it will never drop a powerup when you cannot walk (Behind the windows, and crap).
Exhaustive nuff?

So I was wondering if there is any way to maximise the number of powerups (insta-kill, nuke etc) and what factors cause them to drop. I've noticed that when camping, drops seem to be more rare, but if I'm moving around between rooms and varying kill distances the drops seem to be more regular. This is particularly noticeable in maps like Der Riese when 4 players are camping on the top catwalk area, zombies hardly ever drop powerups when killed running towards them on the catwalk, but if someone is killing zombies by shooting them out of the window to the side, they seem to drop more often.
Anyone else noticed this or am I going insane from too much nazi zombies?

I made a threat that shows exactly when you will get a power up
