***Not to be confused with Potato (Throwable), a throwable that shares that same name.***
The **Potato** referred to as the "**Super Potato**" in the Changelog's update note, is a Crate exclusive to the Potato Map. They are extremely common and could be found almost anywhere on the land-based portions of the map. There are three types of Potatoes: a dark-colored Potato, a light-colored one, and one that is somewhere in between.

## Update log

"Due to budget cuts, PARMA's food science, terraformation, and molecular synthesis divisions were recently merged together. And now the unthinkable has happened: a gross infestation of oversized PARMA "super" potatoes all across the Island. Also, a lot of regular potatoes.

We've deployed our best people to find out what these super potatoes do. So ... good luck, survivrs!"

## Loot

* A random Melee Weapon including Fists, but excluding its skins if you haven't equipped any skins and excluding the Ice Pick and Lasr Swrd, if the Potato is destroyed by a Melee Weapon. The previous melee weapon would disappear.
* A random Gun excluding the Potato Cannon, Spud Gun, Heart Cannon, Bugle, M9 Cursed, Lasr Gun, and Water Gun if the Potato was destroyed by a Gun. The previous gun would disappear.
* A random Throwable excluding the Snowball, Heart Frag, Iron Bomb, and Martyrdom if the Potato was destroyed by a Throwable. You can use this to collect all types of throwables.
* Most map-exclusive loot can be generated (AN-94, Stone Hammer, BAR M1918, Strobe, etc.) except the Lasr swrd, Lasr gun, Flamethrower and M9 Cursed.
* An item from Tier Potato Perks would be dropped as normal loot. This is uncommon. This happens in addition magic reroll effect.

*The loot of the Potato will replace/add the weapon slot used to destroy it.* *Your newly received Item will show as an emote.*

## Trivia

* The Potato crates and throwable serve as an April Fools Day Trick.
* The Potato can also give you Fists if you are unlucky. However, the first one can also be a Naginata if you are lucky enough.
* The Potato is currently the only crate to have a chance to drop Fists and it has the widest range of weapons that can drop.
* If you have the Rare Potato Perk, which is given with the K-pot-ato Helmet, then the potato will drop higher quality loot. You may still end up with an M9, a favorite developer troll weapon which exists in most high-quality loot tables.
* It is possible to switch to the same weapon you were holding previously (for example, there is a low chance that if you shoot a Potato with the AWM-S that you could swap to the AWM-S)
* Dropping your melee weapon before breaking this is a good idea, as you might get a good weapon, for example, a Katana, replaced by a Karambit, or even Fists.
* Due to there being a simple way to get rare weapons, Bunkers like the Chrysanthemum Bunker often remain untouched; the Potato can potentially give the whole team Katanas and Naginatas.
* Potatoes regrow 60 seconds after they are destroyed.
* After potatoes have regrown, the residue image still remains underneath.
* There is a glitch where you can get two separated Pistols instead of one dual pistol, it happens when you hit a potato, get a single pistol, hit another potato with your secondary weapon, and get the same pistol you got before as a single too. For example, you have an AK-47 and M416. You hit a potato using your AK-47, get a single OT-38, hit another potato using your M416, and get another single OT-38.
* Punching a potato 4 times deals 96 of the required 100 damage necessary to destroy it. You can use this to your advantage to weaken a potato before finishing it with a weak weapon you want to reroll like M1911, OT-38, or Potato throwables. However, since you don't retain magazine ammo from a rerolled weapon, it's generally faster to just shoot a potato.
* After the May 4th update, the Potatoes were able to swap certain weapons with Lasr Guns or Lasr Swrds. People reported this and the issue was fixed.
* The color of the Potato doesn't matter because the swapping process is completely random.
* There is a duping method where you shoot the potato, then drop the gun you shot the potato with, and when the potato breaks, you get another weapon, but the original weapon that you shot with is on the ground.
* There is no unique sound effect for the potato breaking. It simply uses "pumpkin\_break\_01.mp3." Of course, there is no pumpkin\_break\_02.
