Crate Types, Locations and Loot

Wooden, Military and Elite Crates open directly. The Locked Crate at Oil Rig adds a hacking requirement. Caravan Strongboxes use a LOOT interaction inside caravan vehicles, while the pumpkin-and-skull-decorated Witch's Crate descends from the sky and can be opened after landing.

Use the container entries to compare locations, opening requirements and possible contents. Quantities attached to individual openings describe those particular hauls, rather than guaranteed drops.

For cosmetic rewards, see Weapon Crates.

Choose Containers for Your Goal

Basic materials and gathering tools: Check Wooden Crates while traveling. Possible finds include Metal Fragments, Scrap, Gears, pickaxes and hatchets, making them useful when you still need tools or crafting supplies.
Weapons, attachments and general combat supplies: Favor Military Crates. Their loot can include firearms, ammunition, armor, medical supplies and gun components. They offer an equipment-upgrade opportunity without the Locked Crate's hacking wait.
A larger equipment upgrade: Check Elite Crates when your route reaches one. Possible finds include a Semi-Automatic Rifle, Custom SMG, 4x Scope, Satchel Charge and Large Backpack. Leave room for equipment that needs its own slot.
Rifles, armor and explosives: Consider the Locked Crate if you can stay at Oil Rig through the hack. Possible contents include Assault Rifles, Semi-Automatic Rifles, Metal Chest Plates and Timed Explosive Charges. The time commitment and public announcement make preparation especially valuable.
Caravan loot: Search a Caravan Strongbox for weapons, armor and components; its seasonal loot can also include Candy.
Seasonal supplies: A landed Witch's Crate can contain Candy, Pumpkins and a Severed Head alongside weapons, ammunition, components and Scrap. See events and seasonal activities for their related activities.

Before switching to a newly looted gun, check its ammunition. A firearm pickup does not ensure you can fire it immediately: a Pipe Shotgun taken from a Caravan Strongbox can leave you holding a weapon with no ammunition.

Open, Transfer and Make Room

Move close to the container and press E when OPEN or LOOT appears. If a Caravan Strongbox reports that you are too far away, move closer and try again. For a Witch's Crate, wait until it has landed.
Click the items you want, or choose TAKE ALL.
If Inventory full appears, make space before collecting the remaining items.
Press E or Esc to close the loot window.

Loot transfer shortcuts

Action	Input in the loot interface
Take an item	Click
Take half a stack	Right-click or Shift-click
Move an item to the hotbar	Number keys 1–6
Take multiple items continuously	Hold Ctrl and hover over items
Equip armor directly	Hold Alt and click the armor

Fix a full inventory

The main inventory has 36 slots. If a Small Backpack occupies one of them and your backpack equipment slot is empty, drag it into that equipment slot. This frees the slot it occupied. Click the equipped backpack slot to open its separate storage, then move suitable items into it: a Small Backpack adds 12 slots, while a Large Backpack adds 50.

Return to the crate and collect what remains. A backpack that is already full cannot receive more items; if both inventories are full, deposit surplus supplies at your base or use DROP for an item you choose to leave behind. See backpack equipping and pickup fixes for the complete backpack controls.

An item may still join an existing stack even when all inventory slots are occupied. That does not create space for other items that need a new slot, so check the container for anything left behind after using TAKE ALL.

Full inventory with Small Backpacks in storage and an empty backpack equipment slot.

Hack a Locked Crate

Bring ammunition and leave carrying space before approaching the Locked Crate at Oil Rig. Nearby Guards and other players can interrupt the attempt, so store valuables you do not need before leaving your base.

Read the crate screen. If it says COOLDOWN, wait for the next-hack countdown to finish. A ready crate displays LOCKED, HACK TO OPEN and the START HACKING interaction.
Press E at START HACKING. The screen changes to hacking with a 10:00 countdown. A server announcement identifies Oil Rig as the location of the hack.
Wait for the countdown to finish. You can search nearby containers during the wait, but other players may come after seeing the announcement.
Return when the lid opens and press E at LOOT. The server also announces the opening. Transfer the contents individually or use TAKE ALL.

If the crate already displays UNLOCKED, open and loot it without starting another hack.

For boarding, clearing the platforms and returning with your loot, follow the Oil Rig route.

Hacking, Next Hack and Despawn Timers

Timer or state	What it means	What to do
hacking — 10:00 at the start	The active hack takes 10 minutes to unlock the crate.	Wait for completion, then use LOOT.
COOLDOWN / next hack	Time remaining before another hack can start.	Wait until START HACKING becomes available.
Disappears in, inside the loot window	Time remaining before that container disappears.	Collect the items you want before it expires.

For example, next hack 06:00 means about six minutes remain before you can start another hack. It is separate from the ten-minute hacking process. A next-hack reading of 19:52 or 18:27 is likewise a remaining countdown, not the starting cooldown duration.

Watch the disappearance timer while sorting a full inventory. It is a deadline for collecting the contents, not a signal that another crate is ready.

Opening rewards can also include shards: two Oil Rig openings each awarded 25 shards, with the reward prompt directing the player to SKINS > CRAFT. Use that menu for skin crafting when you receive shards.

Follow a Monument Route

Dome: The Military Crate route includes an exterior crate beyond the ladder and two inside the left-hand entrance farther along. Follow the Dome loot route for the turns and climbs.
Oil Rig: Search rooms, upper platforms and the helipad for Military Crates, with an Elite Crate in an upper room and the Locked Crate in CONTROL. The Oil Rig guide connects boarding, combat, looting and extraction.
Trainyard: Two Military Crates sit together inside a green building, with Wooden Crates also available around the area. Use the 10x solo railway progression guide for the Trainyard route and the separate Rail Depot option.
Military Tunnels: Wooden Crates occur inside and around the entrance area. Follow the Military Tunnels guide for entering the dark interior and handling Soldiers while searching.
