## Loot Crate

Loot Crates refer to crates that can be acquired with real currency as a form of game monetization:

### Vehicle Loot Crate

Vehicle Loot Crates have a chance to drop a random number of blueprint pieces of a high Tier premium vehicle - that is promoted on the game's official website. The goal is to collect 100 blueprint pieces of the same vehicle in order to exchange for a permanent version of the said vehicle. Other possible drops include temporary (rental) versions of other premium vehicles and crate parts, the latter can be exchanged for a special version of Vehicle Loot Crate for potentially higher blueprint pieces drop rate when 10 of such pieces are collected. In very rare cases, a Vehicle Loot Crate may also drop the complete vehicle for immediate redemption.

Vehicle Loot Crates can be purchased with real currency from the web shop. For legal reasons, sales of Vehicle Loot Crate are not available to players located in France, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Belgium.

### MY.GAME Market

Crates in the Store section of MY.GAME Market can be opened first to preview its content before purchase. Some time limited crates require purchasing keys to unlock them.

On the other hand, crates in the Chests section can be purchased with myCoins, which are given out as bonus from purchasing certain items in the Store section of MY.GAME Market.

## Gifts

Occasionally, commemorative gifts or compensations may also come in crates from the Chests section, which can be claimed for free within a limited period of time.
