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)

| − | :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. [[User:Schmoe|Schmoe]] 16:33, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

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)

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)

| − | | |
| − | 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)

I do know that the rate has held constant since I started tracking the data on October 14. I'm not sure how to add this in there. [[User:LuigiThirty|LuigiThirty]] 08:27, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

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)

| − | 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)
