Crates

***Not to be confused with Obstacles, which do not drop loot upon destruction.***
**Crates** are an essential feature of surviv.io. The easiest ways to get loot in the game is from Crates and Loot. All loot in the game is found from destroying all sorts of Crates, lying on the ground or in Buildings. Drops are randomized in most crates. There are currently 56 different types of Crates in-game.

## Crate

The standard and most common crate is the normal **Crate**, which is a simple wooden box. They are found scattered around the map and in a variety of Buildings. It takes four hits to destroy these with Fists, and different amounts for different Melee Weapons, ranging from 5 with a Hook to 1 with Hammers or a Naginata or a Fire Axe. It is seen as a brown square on the map. A regular crate usually drops common loot but can drop almost anything.

## Winter Crate

The **Winter Crate** is a crate added in the v0.9.0 "*Stay Frosty*" update. It replaces all Soviet Crates on the Snow Map (including the one in the Crimson Ring Club), and it usually drops the Ice Pick as well as the Polar Bear and Snow Fox Perks.

## Wood Barrel

The **Wood Barrel** is another crate that is found in the Mansion, Saloon, Crimson Ring Club, and Teahouse. Eight of these spawn in the mansion basement and one spawns outside the entrance to the basement. In the Saloon, two barrels spawn in the middle of the room, one spawns at the top right corner and two of them spawn outside where one spawns close to the piano and the other at the bottom of the Saloon. You can also find three wall barrels in the Saloon underground area. Two Wood Barrels spawn outside the Teahouse and spawn on the parking lot in the Crimson Ring Club. They contain the same loot that a normal crate does. These take three punches to destroy. It is a brown circle on the map. There are wall barrels that are found only in the mansion basement. These take only one punch to break. Rarely, a golden wall barrel will spawn in place of a normal barrel, dropping more valuable items.

## Soviet Crate

The **Soviet Crate** is another crate similar to the regular Wooden Crate and was added in the v0.0.9 "*Bloc Party!*" update. However, it has a communist hammer and sickle on the top of the box on a red background to help differentiate it. These crates cannot be located on the Minimap. It takes six punches to destroy. It contains both more quality and quantity loot than the regular crate. There's a small chance that they spawn in Warehouses. Loot is found here, dropping 3-5 items listed. It has a higher chance of spawning weapons and other powerful items than a regular crate, making it highly variable, though they are much rarer to find compared to regular crates (They are more common than 'The Faction Map Soviet Crate listed below').

On the Faction Map, the Soviet Crate appeared on the red side, with the Initiative Crate spawning on the blue side. The line for the red team crates is on the bottom-left as opposed to the top-right. Also, the new texture is brighter, and it spawns significantly different loot, identical to the Initiative Crate which spawns on the blue side. This is because in the Lore, the members of the Red Side are the Soviets.

On the *Danger close* update, a new named POI Blood Gulch has two bunkers which contained the Faction Soviet Crate and the Initiative Crate, both hidden in a spot under two Aged Faction Statue, one red and one blue, that can only be destroyed by summoning an Air Strike using Strobes, Air Drops, and a Stone Hammer. Under the Red Aged Faction Statue, there is a secret spot containing the desert Soviet Crate that drops a Commander Helmet, Red Victorious, Machete Taiga, and a Super 90 with 16 rounds of 12 gauge (red) Ammunition). Under the Blue Aged Faction Statue also contains a secret spot, this time with a desert Initiative Crate that drops a Commander Helmet, Stifled Blue, Tallow's Kukri, and an AN-94 with 90 rounds of 7.62mm (blue) Ammunition.

## Locker

The **Locker** is a small metal container that stores items on walls. It is currently found in the Police Station, the Hydra Bunker, the Crimson Ring Club, the Hatchet Bunker, and Chrysanthemum Bunker. It can contain any item ranging from an M9 to an M249. There are three types: a normal locker, a Golden Locker, and an orange knob locker with the Initiative logo on it. The Golden Locker will always drop either a Level 3 Vest, a Level 3 Backpack (Military Pack), a Level 3 Helmet, or a SCAR-H. In the Potato Map, a K-pot-ato can be rarely found in Gold lockers. In the Police Station, there are 10 locker spots, but only 7 are filled. Golden Lockers only spawn in the Police Station. Despite the name, the lockers are the easiest to take from as they have very low HP. The locker with the Initiative logo is always found in the Crossing Bunker and the Chrysanthemum Bunker that always drops an AK-47 and one Regular Backpack.

## Chest

The **Chest** can be found in the Mansion (40 out of 81 chance) and the Storm Bunker (90% chance). It has the appearance of a treasure chest but without the skull and yellow details. The chest drops two epic or rare guns with ammo or an epic or rare item. They take seven hits to destroy. It also has similar loot to the Treasure Chest excluding the Hook and Royal Fortune.

## Treasure Chest

The **Treasure Chest** is a crate that is found only along the beach, and sometimes on the grass near the beach. It is essentially a Chest with a skull in the center and golden details in the front and corners. These, like the Soviet Crate, cannot be seen on the minimap. The Treasure Chest can contain rare loot and is exceptionally rare, being the second rarest crate in the whole game with the rarest being the Dual DEagle 50 crate. Despite how rare it is, one will always spawn per game on a random spot on the beach. You can tell if the crate is destroyed by a much bigger wreck than a regular crate. This crate will always drop a Royal Fortune and usually a Hook. Loot is found here.

## Deposit Box

The **Deposit Box**, also known as a Vault, is a small item container found in the main vault of the Bank, and in the underground vault in the Crimson Ring Club. There are six deposit boxes in each main bank vault. Deposit Boxes drop a single loot item, while the rarer Gold Deposit Boxes drop two loot items with a higher chance of containing a weapon. Gold Deposit Boxes have a higher chance of spawning in the Desert Map. They break with one punch or two shots with most guns. Loot is here.

## Grenade Crate

The **Grenade Crate** is a tough uncommon crate that only contains grenades. They can be found anywhere on the map. These crates appear as small, gray squares on the map. In this crate, it is common to find Frag Grenades, Smoke Grenades, and/or Mines, and rarely MIRV Grenades. These crates are often found untouched in the game as many dismiss these crates.

## Snowball Crate

The **Snowball Crate** was added in the v0.6.9 "*Snow-covered island*" update on December 19, 2018. They are exclusive to the Snow Map and can be found anywhere outside. They drop 3 stacks of 4 Snowballs.

## Bookshelf, Drawer, and Cabinet

**Bookshelves**, **Drawers**, and **Cabinets** are crates that are found in many different buildings, including Red Houses, Barns, the Alternate Barn, the Bank, the Mansion, and the Police Station. There are three drawers in Red Houses, five in Barns, one in the Police Station and in the Bank; a bookshelf in the underground area of the Alternate Barn; as well as five bookshelves, two drawers, and two stands in the Mansion. They drop all non-exclusive loot, including skins. The Cabinets look like smaller variants of drawers. The bookshelves have a blue book on it and may have a potted plant. The rarer variants of drawers and bookshelves have potted plants, and drop rarer and sometimes two loot items instead of one like their normal variants. They all take four hits to destroy.

## Toilet

The **Toilet** is a tough, common crate-like object. It is found in Outhouses, Barns, and Red Houses all over the map. It looks like a standard white porcelain toilet. When it is destroyed, it drops most types of items. Toilets commonly drop healing items. If you see a brown line inside the toilet (most likely fecal matter), it will have increased loot and a higher chance to drop 0-3 guns. The gray variants are metal and they reflect bullets. It is not recommended to shoot the metal ones to break them open because of this. They can be found in the Police Station, Hydra Bunker, and Crossing Bunker. They all take 5 hits to destroy.

## Vending Machine

The **Vending Machine** (also known as the Soda Machine) is a Crate that contains 1-3 Sodas and often some common ammo. Found in the Bank, Police Station, and Crossing Bunker. They can also be found scattered across the Halloween Map. It takes 7 hits to destroy and deflects bullets.

## Planter

Similar to Drawers, Bookshelves, and Cabinets, **Planters** drop non-exclusive loot. There are 8 planters and they are located in the Greenhouse building. Just like other crates, they can be easily destroyed with just 4 hits and gives random loot. There are 4 different types of planters, which are a planter with 2 red flowers that have white dots, a planter with 2 yellow flowers that seem to be Chrysanthemums, and a planter with purple flowers with thin petals, and an "aged" variant, which only consists of some dried leaves and appears in the Desert Map.

## DEagle Case

The **DEagle Case** is exclusive to the Mansion's secret room. It will sometimes be replaced by a Chest in a 40 out of 81 chance, or rarely by a Dual DEagle 50 case in a 1 out of 81 chance. When broken, it drops the DEagle 50 and 56 .50 AE ammo, 2 DEagles and 112 .50 AE ammo if it is a dual DEagle 50 case. Both take 7 punches to destroy.

## Bunker Crate

The **Bunker Crate** is found in the Hydra Bunker, Storm Bunker, and in the warehouses on the Docks. It will never drop weapons. Instead, it drops a variety of items, including medical supplies, and basic armor.

The **Golden Bunker Crate** is always found in the Egg Bunker. These always drop four AK-47s, 4 The Initiative Skins, and some other loot. This can also be found in the Woods event and drops 2 Shotguns (MP220) and two LMG's (BAR M1918). The one found in the Savannah map's Egg Bunker drops 2 BLR 81s and 2 SVD-63s. This crate can also be found around the Savannah Map as of the *Proxy Party* update and drops various weapons.

## Hatchet Case

The **Hatchet Case** is always found in the Hydra Bunker, the Hatchet Bunker and sometimes in the Storm Bunker. Usually drops either an M416, an MP220, but mainly the Vector if in the Hydra Bunker. If you are really lucky, high tier loot can spawn. In the Hatchet Bunker, it can drop either the M249, the PKP Pecheneg, or the USAS-12. It takes 7 punches to destroy.

## Flare Gun Case

The **Flare Gun Case** is an orange crate that always drops a Flare Gun and a single Flare. It can sometimes be found in the Logging Complex instead of a Chest only in the Woods Map.

## Conch Crate

The **Conch Crate** is sometimes located on the Blue Warehouses in the Docks and is always found in the Conch Bunker. It drops either the Aquatic Avenger or the Coral Guise Skin, along with one uncommon item. It has a blue design with a conch symbol.

## Pot

**Pots** are a type of clay container, much like a crate, that can be broken open to reveal a variety of items. Pots are found inside Huts, Fisherman's Shacks, and Cabins. There are between one and five pots for each Hut and two per Fisherman’s Shack and Cabin. Pots can be dull green, gold, or all green. Normal pots contain a single loot item, while gold pots always contain a SPAS-12, and Green Pots always contain a Scout Elite and the Island Time Skin. Gold and Green pots are always found in the center of the Huts. However, the Green Pot can be seen through the broken rooftop of the Scout Hut. Normal pots are green with a brown background.

## Barrel Cache

Barrel Caches were added in the *Community Collage* update. One spawns per map like all other Caches. They are found anywhere on the map, but cannot be spawned as part of structures. The differences between a barrel and a barrel cache are that there is an Initiative symbol under the barrel cache and it is a bit darker than the normal barrel variant. Be cautious as the barrel cache explodes similar to a normal barrel. The barrel cache drops 3 MIRV Grenades and Tier World items. The best way to open the barrel cache is to use a gun or a Frag Grenade and keep a safe distance from the barrel cache. The items are treated like normal and go flying upon detonation.

## Rock Cache

The **Rock Cache**, otherwise known as the "**Loot Rock**", is a randomly placed stone that happens to spawn loot when broken. It is slightly darker than regular rocks and has a small decal underneath. It previously had the ability to face other directions. It will drop an AK-47 and 90 rounds of 7.62mm ammo. It will also drop 2-3 other loot items as the Golden Bunker Crate does.

## Tree Cache

The **Tree Cache**, also known as the "**Loot Tree**", is the same as the rock cache, but with a tree instead. There's one placed randomly on the map with a decal beneath, but when broken, it drops a Mosin-Nagant, a Woodland Combat Skin and Tier World loot. It's hard to find but is much easier to recognize than the Rock Cache. There is a slight color difference and will not change its look in any update. You can also find the spikes of the decal poking out beneath the tree stump. On the Spring map, it is almost impossible to miss, as all the other trees are Cherry Blossoms. In the Contact Map, it's impossible to miss, as all the trees are Withered. Also in the Cobalt Map, all of the trees are a bluish color, so it is quite hard to miss.

## Logging Orange Tree

The **Logging Orange Tree** is found in the Woods Map. It is large and stands in the middle of the small Logging Complex. It drops 2 LMGs and 2 Shotguns, as well as a Woodland Combat skin. It takes 17 punches to destroy.

## Meteor Crate

The Meteor Crate is only obtained by the Air Drop mechanism. There are regular and golden crates. Regular Meteor Crates are more common than the golden variant. When opened, one must interact or punch the metal casing to open it slowly. The crate revealed then takes many punches to open. It's one of the few ways to find the M1 Garand, the M4A1-S, and CZ-3A1 and the AWM-S. They can still be obtained with Hardstone Boulders and Crates and potatoes. The Falling Star (Tallow's Little Helper in Snow Map), the Celestial Garb skins, the Ghillie Suit and its variants can be found in these crates, but it is not guaranteed that any one of these will drop. If you're really unlucky, it can even drop an M9. It is, however, guaranteed to contain exactly one random piece of Level 3 Equipment. During Potato and Valentine's events, Golden airdrops are guaranteed to drop a Potato Cannon or Heart Cannon, respectively.

There's a Twitch version of the Meteor Crate as well. It is purple and has a guaranteed 100% chance of dropping a Twitch-only skin, the Purple Fade.

## Knife Crate

The **Knife Crate** was previously the only way to obtain certain knives in the game. The amount of knives you obtain when destroying this crate depends on which mode you are in. For solo, it drops one knife, for duos, two, and in squads four. This crate is now removed from the game.

## Ammo Crate

The **Ammo Crate** doubles as a loot crate and an obstacle at the same time. The only way to destroy these crates is by using Armor Piercing weapons, which is the Wood Axe, the Katana, the Fire Axe, the Ice Pick, the Stone Hammer, a crushing Air Drop, or Iron Bombs. You can shoot far-ranged weapons such as Sniper Rifles through the single ammo crates if you go close enough because of their barrel length. Only the Double Ammo Crate drops any type of ammo when destroyed, including Flare, .50 AE, .308 Subsonic, 40 mm, and .45 ACP. The Woods Map is the only map where only basic ammo comes from all Ammo Crates. The single Ammo Crate only spawns basic ammo. Ammo Crates do not drop the .45 ACP outside of the Desert Map, Savannah Map, and Potato Map.

## Stump

The **Stump** always drops a Wood Axe when destroyed. It can be found outside buildings and is somewhat uncommon. This crate does not appear on the map. On the Woods Map, many more spawn per map. They are guaranteed to be found in the Logging Complex. Stumps without axes also appear during the woods event.

## OT-38 Crate

The **OT-38 Crate** is a crate that looks like a Knife Crate but has an OT-38 symbol in place of the knife. It drops four OT-38s no matter what mode you are in. Users can dual wield these pistols to use all four, or take one each in squads mode. You can also have one dual-wielded gun each in duos mode.

## Arctic Avenger Crate

The **Arctic Avenger Crate** always contains Dual OTs-38s. This crate can be found only in the Snow Map. Although it's called the Arctic Avenger Crate, it does not drop the Arctic Avenger Skin.

## River Chest

The **River Chest** is a crate that looks like a regular Chest with bronze details and the Crossing Bunker logo on the top. It is found in a River and is submerged halfway into the water. It drops the Water Elemental skin and some rare guns. It can spawn in any river and lake size but only one can spawn per game. You can walk on top of the submerged half of the crate.

## Wall Mount

The **Wall Mount** is found against the wall in the Cabin. The most common drops are an M870 and an M1100 with a 50/121 chance, a 10/121 chance of getting Wood Axe Bloodstained or MP220, and a 1/121 chance of getting the QBB-97.

## Cattle Crate

    The **Cattle Crate** is found scattered across the Desert Map, replacing all Soviet Crates. When broken, it drops 2-3 .45 ACP weapons along with 2 Tier Soviet items. It can only be found on the Desert Map. The Bowie used to spawn in these, but was removed.

## Hatchet Crate

The **Hatchet Crate** is a large-sized crate with a green stripe and an axe icon on it. The Hatchet Crate can be found scattered on the Woods Map or inside Bunkers and clearings. It's fairly common and drops Shotguns/LMGs/Backpacks etc. The Hatchet Crate is commonly considered the Soviet Crate of the Woods, but it is a lot more common than its red comrade. It replaces Bunker Crates, and can be found on the map as a green square.

## Crab Pot

The **Crab Pot** was a crate added in the "*Community Collage*" update on November 29, 2018. It is a cage with green metal bars making up the exterior. It has a red crab inside. These are always found next to every Fisherman's Shack on the map. It drops 1-2 random items/guns, very similar to a normal wooden Crate. It's also commonly called the "Crab Trap".

## Hardstone Block

Added along with the woods event, the Hardstone Block is commonly found inside the Eye Bunker behind the stone wall, and the others randomly scattered around the Woods Map. It can also be found in the Normal Map but only a quantity of 1 spawn per game. Its appearance is a grey block with the eye symbol on top. It can only be opened using the Stone Hammer or its variants, an Air Drop, or an Air Strike directly on it. Upon breakage, you can find one round of .45 ACP, Peacemaker, AWM-S, USAS-12, M9, M4A1-S, M249, PKP Pecheneg, M134, or aFlare Gun. However, the USAS-12 does not spawn in the Normal Map.

## Hardstone Boulder

Added in the *Frozen Deserts* update, the **Hardstone Boulder** acts much like the Hardstone Block. Featuring a similar texture, the Hardstone Boulder features a symbol of the eye held by two hands. It does not reflect bullets and is impervious to all damage aside from a Stone Hammer (or variants), Air Drop, or Air Strike, like its block counterpart. It drops loot similar to that of the  Hardstone Block (aside from the USAS-12). You can get anything in Tier Eye Crate, and it has the potential to drop insanely good loot such as the M249 but can also drop a single round of .45 ACP.

## Military Air Drop

The **Military Air Drop** was added in the 50v50, "*Incursion recursion*" update. It is larger than normal airdrops and drops seven items in Tier Airdrop Uncommon, Tier Airdrop Rare, Tier Airdrop Throwables, Tier Airdrop Skins, and Tier Airdrop Scopes. The golden crate drops seven drops of Tier Airdrop Mythic, Tier Airdrop Faction Melee, and Tier Airdrop Faction Skins. It also does 200 armor-piercing damage when dropped, and has a metal casing that has to be unlocked to be able to be broken by pressing the F key. These drop a lot of high quality loot. In the gold variant, only golden airdrop weapons are dropped, with the inclusion of dual P30Ls or the USAS-12. The Golden Airdrop also drops the Pan infrequently, while the normal ones can drop Katanas.

## Chrysanthemum Chest

The **Chrysanthemum Chest** is a Crate added in the v0.7.3 "*Awesome blossoms*" update on March 20, 2019. It has a chance to drop the Naginata or Katana and its variants among other things, usually weapons that use blue/green ammo. It is only found in the Teahouse. The chest can drop valuable loot, however, the loot is randomized and nothing is guaranteed.

## Vase

The **Vase** is a Crate added in the v0.7.3 "*Awesome blossoms*" update on March 20, 2019. It is very similar to the Pot, only being found in the Teahouse, and drops random loot, ranging anywhere from bandages to guns, just like the Pot.

Two special vases can be found in the Pavilion, which drops different loot than a normal vase.

## Potato (Obstacle)

The **Potato** is a special Crate added in the "*Rotato potato*" event. Once destroyed, it will replace the item used to destroy it with another item of its type. It may be considered the best obstacle in the game, seeing as it can provide you with very rare weapons, but also has a chance of giving you low-quality weapons, making it a potential risk to use. Use darker potatoes because it changes to a better gun (usually). It is best to look for potatoes and use a bad gun on it. That way you have a bigger chance of getting a better gun because you have nothing to lose. If you want a new melee weapon, drop the melee weapon and destroy with your fists, and if it is a bad drop, then you can just use the old one you dropped.

## Soviet Military Crate

The **Soviet Military Crate** was added in “*Clubbed to death*” update and is currently only found in the Crimson Ring Club. It is very similar to the OT-38 Crate but has an AK-47 icon on it instead of the OT-38 icon. It can only drop guns and Throwables. Interestingly enough, it does not always drop the AK-47 as its decal would imply.

## Red Emblem Case

First introduced in the "*Clubbed to death*" May 30th, 2019 update. This case is the only way to get Groza-S in the Normal Map; however, it can also drop Dual OTs-38, PKP Pecheneg, M79 or M134 rarely, or an M9 as a dev troll. In the Potato Map and Valentines Map, it drops the Potato Cannon and Heart Cannon respectively. It is found only in the Crimson Ring Club.

## Bottle Crate

Added in the "*Clubbed to death*" update, and is currently only found in the Crimson Ring Club.

It looks like a crate containing some half-clear glass bottles. This crate can contain round blue bottles or red square bottles, however, this doesn’t affect the loot it drops.

## Towel Rack

Added in the "*Clubbed to death"* update, this crate is similar to the Bookshelf, but it has towels on it instead. It can be found in the Changing Room and the Swimming Pool. It drops Tier World. It is basically a reskinned bookshelf.

## Golden Eye Chest

Added to the Alternate Barn in the *Clubbed to death* update. The **Golden Eye Chest** is a very tough chest that drops Dual G18C, 4 Smoke Grenades, a P30L (sometimes dual), and a Neo Noir skin. This is found in the 2nd room in the Alternate Barn's basement.

## Cloud Crate

The **Cloud Crate** is a crate found in the center of the Savannah Patch. It drops 2-3 Tier Cloud 01 loot and 1 Tier DM Helmet 01 loot. It is relatively uncommon in the Savannah Map and is much rarer than the Gold Bunker Crate.

## Marksman Military Crate

Added in the *The perks of being a survivr* update. The **Marksman Military Crate** is found all over the Savannah Map. It drops Sniper Rifles and DMRs and very rarely, the M9.

## Pumpkin

The **Pumpkin** is a crate added in Surviv.io in the v0.6.4 "*Happy Spookiversary*" update. It contains camouflage skins like the Barkskin, Bush Wookie and other such outfits.

## Piñata

The **Piñata** is the first moving crate that is exclusive to the Sinko de Ammo/Cinco de Mayo Map.

## Space Cube

The **Space Cube** is a crate exclusively added in the v0.9.4 "*Fairly Lethal*" event and spawns in the Lasr Swrds map. It can drop a Lasr Gun, Lasr Swrd, or Pulse Boxes.

## Golden Pumpkin Air Drop

The **Golden Pumpkin Air Drop** is crate added in surviv during the v0.8.7 "*Trick or treat*"" update. It is a special type of Meteor Crate and Air Drop exclusive to the Halloween Map. It can drop XP Artifacts (uncommon), a Trick or Treat? Perk (instead of any standard Air Drop skins), one object from Tier Outfits (which on the Halloween Map spawns obstacle skins), and regular Golden Air Drop loot.

## Class Pod

The **Class Pod** is a crate added in v0.8.8 "*Stay classy*" update and is only available in the Cobalt Map. The Pods are found scattered throughout the map and act as airdrops. One Mythic Pod also appears in the Twins Bunker. The Pods' loot changes depending on what class you are (with the exception of the Mythic Pod).

## Ice Box

The **Ice Box** was a crate added in the v0.9.5b "*Beach Party*" update and is only available in the Beach Map. The Ice Boxes can drop the Speedo skin, the Water Gun, the Water Balloon, and the Popsicle consumable.

## Egg Crate

The **Egg Crate** was a crate added in the v0.9.6c update and is only available in the Contact Map. The Egg Crates usually drop Tier World loot, but occasionally, it also drops a Skittrnade or spawns a Skittr.

## Pyro Crate

The **Pyro Crate** was a crate added in the v1.0.0 "*NEW MODE: INFERNO*" update and is only available in the Inferno Map. The Pyro Crates drop Tier Pyro (2) including 9mm, Flamethrower, Nitro Lace, Foam Grenade, Phoenix perk or Pyro perk.
