Please help me figure out the meaning of the phrase "dropped loot" in the following sentence from the description of the game "Teamfight Tactics":
While your warriors automatically clash, you’ll manually guide your
adorable Little Legend captain to scoop up dropped loot.
(source)
I have found the phrase "dropped loot" in many games, but I am not sure about its meaning. I know the lexical meanings of the word "loot" are "goods stolen during pillaging" and "a collection of valued items". I am not sure which of the meanings fits here.
Thank you for your time.
