::From my experience one usually drops for each player every week. So it's not as rare as a hat but it doesn't drop as often as weapons. The timer is somewhere in between the two. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 15:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 
−
:::I think the crates have their own drop "schedule" separate from standard items, as I've gotten double-drops with an item + a crate before in the middle of gameplay, and I got a crate about 2 minutes after getting an item once. I've also gotten crates completely by themselves with no items shortly before or after. They're slightly less frequent than item drops, but still fairly common. My experience has been ~1 crate for every 6 to 10 items, or 1 or 2 crates per week. [[User:Will-T|Will-T]] 21:26, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 
−
::::I've also noticed this.  I've seen double drops with Crates, Name Tags and Description Tags.  I would hazard a guess that there are two drop timers.  One for weapons/hats, one for tools.  Maybe the hats are separate too?  I think this discussion should move over to the [[Item Drop System]] page.  I'll start discussion there on this topic.

If this drop table is added to the main page, I believe it should be simplified to Weapons, Hats, Tools, and Unusual Hats.  Just a thought, though. --[[User:Toahpt|Toahpt]]

:With the addition of the Series 2 crate, the table should be changed to reflect that if we assume that the drop rate is the same in every crate (which seems to be a fairly safe solution). The alternative would be to have a Series 1 table and a Series 2 table. The data from both of them (as in specific items) should NOT be on the same table as the percent chances will not be reflective of individual crates but rather if all items available had a chance of coming from every crate dropped. [[User:Binerexis|Binerexis]] 13:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 
−
 
 
−
The new drop rate table only takes into account server logs?  What methodology did you use to separate rare Series 1 and Series 2 drops?  All in all it falls in line with the stats collected by the steam forum pages, but I think it assumes that rare drops are equally likely to occur in either series. Actually it looks like the SPUF posters must have overstated their Series 2 hat drops which falls in line with my expectations of human behavior.  For example a user that opened 5 crates could have reported only one of the crates which the user was proud of.  Same goes for rare items which is why I added another column for verified drops.  Maybe I should extend it to more than just rare drops.

: I dug up Luigi30's SPUF post regarding this data.  He was unable to account for how rare items dropped according to series.

:::Series 1 crates are more a little more common in my log than series 2 since they were introduced (it's a 54/46 split), but that could be accounted for by them existing 6 days prior to the introduction of Series 2.

Please edit this table for any Crate Series 2 results you get.

== Drop rates and their factuality... ==

I really don't think we should rely on community feedback for the drop rates of items in crates. I just think a) the sample sizes are way too small to run a proper statistical analysis on, and b) it's too easily manipulated. I'd like to have a discussion on it, but '''my proposal is to disregard these unofficial statistics completely, as wiki editors'''. ~ <code>[[User:Lhavelund|<font color=red><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''lhavelund'''</span></font>]]</code> <sup>([[User_talk:lhavelund|t]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/lhavelund|c]])</sup> 03:31, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I've been comparing the data collected in the Steampowered thread compared to my server's logs and I've noticed that in the series 1 crates, the Vita-Saw seems to be underrepresented while Old Guadalajara and Napper's Respite seem to be overrepresented. This may be a consequence of people not wanting to say they got a Vita-Saw but bragging that they got hats. [[User:LuigiThirty|LuigiThirty]] 04:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

:I thought exactly that. Somewhat similar with the Unusual reports too. The initial numbers were at 2.5% for the series 1 and 1.5% for the Series 2.

== Multiple crate series for a single crate? ==
 
−
 
 
−
Over on TF2Items.net it will sometimes list a crate in someone's backpack as being from 2 "series," with "Crate series #X" on one line and "Crate Series #Y" on a second line below that. So it could say "Crate Series #5, Crate Series #1." Usually both lines will be the same number, but still, I've seen a significant number of crates with two different numbers on them. What does this mean? Is it just a glitch with TF2Items.net? I know that crates are never listed as being from more than 1 series in-game. [[User:Will-T|Will-T]] 19:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

So I've gotten around to calculating the actual unusual unboxing rate universally and it's 0.7042%, but I can't split that up into crate series since I don't know what crates had what inside, just that those items appeared.

Ok, I was wondering when the item inside a crate was determined (after giving away a crate that yielded an unusual) so I emailed Robin Walker. He explained to me that the item inside a crate is actually determined when you open the crate, so it wouldn't contain anything until you apply a key to it, then the game rolls the dice. Those aren't his exact words, but I have uploaded an image of the email here. http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Robin_Crate_Answer.jpg --[[User:Palehorse864|Palehorse864]] 11:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

== Re: Festive Winter Crate Expiration Results ==

I definitely confirm that my festive winter crates were replaced by random weapons (I had just logged into the Mann Co Store before logging out of the game, so I would have been alerted about all item drops already). Upon my next login, I was puzzled as I was immediately greeted by three new random weapon drops. My backpack was then missing my three winter crates. I hung around a trade server and asked people about their crates and we saw them change/vanish in realtime as we were all from different timezones. One guy in the server had 11 winter crates and they were all replaced by series 1-5 crates upon rollover with him. How about with you guys? -[[User:Object404|Object404]] 02:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

==VOTE: Should crates be listed in reverse chronological order?==
 
−
 
 
−
I vote yes because I feel that it would be most useful to Wiki viewers if the crates were listed in reverse chronological order (30, 29, 28, 27, ...) rather than in chronological order (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) as they are now. This is primarily because most users are likely to be much more interested in what was in the more recent, active crates than the early renditions. - [[User:Kanosea|Kanosea]] 20:04, 13 October 2011 (PDT)
 
−
:Perhaps the "Retired series" and "Active series" sections should just be switched around, so that the "Active series" are on top.  This seems simpler than reversing the entire order. [[User:OldManJenkins|OldManJenkins]] 20:16, 13 October 2011 (PDT)

::{{c|Oppose}} Chronological order is how most (I say most incase of ''that one'' item that isn't) things are organized. E.g. Update History. I do understand what you are saying so if it were to satisfy, why don't we place active crates at the top of the page.

for the rocket launcher, flamethrower, sticky launcher, minigun, sniper rifle, and knife:
 
−
the distribution is about 1 strange in every 8 items (~12.5% chance to be strange)
 
−
 
 
−
for the scattergun, wrench and medigun:
 
−
the distribution is about 1 strange in every 14 items (~7.1% chance to be strange)

for the bat:
 
−
the distribution is the opposite of the above items, with a 7.1% chance of NOT being strange

== Regarding crate topics above ==

I think it's important to note that the attributes for crate series you see in the schema aren't necessarily representative of the series you will see in a backpack. The drop system can and does attach overriding crate series attributes. This is how early/discontinued crates continue to exist in your backpack. There is indeed an inconsistency in the schemas but the schema itself does not control the series that might drop. I don't know what weight this has on the above discussions but it is something that should be considered when deciding on how you edit the page. Remember that a lot of people trust the wiki's pages as the word of god.

So I was looking at stats[dot]teamfortress[dot]org, and specifically at the Crate #35 unbox stats. It looks like there's a 1/5 chance of getting a strange (compared to a festive) for all but the Scattergun, Wrench, and Medi Gun, which have 1/10 chance. Should we put this into the page? How?

I'm sorry, not sure how to edit the table for crate contents, but could someone add Fed-Fightin' Fedora, Liquidator's Lid and Gentleman's Ushanka to the list for 46?  If I had to guess, probably all the new hats/miscs drop from it, but I'm 100% on these three since I just uncrated them myself.  Thanks.

== Strange items in #53 crates? ==
 
−
 
 
−
Does the Nice winter crates (series #53) have strange items?  The Naughty crates clearly state "some , but not all of the items in this crate are strange."  This advisory is absent from the Nice crate screen capture.  Perhaps consider removing the "Weapons obtained from this crate might have the Strange quality" description from the wiki entry on the Nice crates until it is confirmed that Nice crates have strange items? -- [[User:Jmudge|Jmudge]] 05:36, 14 December 2012 (PST)

:: I believe we're basing off of last year's experience. Nice crates consisted of Community created items (weapons and headwears, etc) and Naughty crates contained festive weapons and strange festive. It can be changed upon update anyways.

== Chance Percentages ==
 
−
 
 
−
Someone on my server just purchased two keys from me, and then immediately unboxed 2 crate 57's, receiving about 2.66 ref worth of stranges. His rationale was that the wiki says all items from that crate are at a 0% chance at unbox, while the unusual chance is 1%. He interpreted this as meaning that crate 57 was a guaranteed unusual. While only his own sheer stupidity is to blame, perhaps something other than numbers could be used as placeholders until the true percentages can be determined? At the time of this writing, Crate 57 is shown to have 6 items it can yield, each with a 0% chance.[[User:Ddhoward|Ddhoward]] 14:57, 19 March 2013 (PDT)
 
−
: Unusuals obviously are at a set rate. We assume 1% since its a very low chance. As for percentages I believe we either assume or someone actually calculated those values. But for sure unusual rates never change unless valve states otherwise. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 15:01, 19 March 2013 (PDT)
