Mann Co. Supply Crates are tool items obtainable only through the item drop system. They are shown as open-style wooden shipping crates, wrapped in chains held with a comically large padlock.

The crate cannot be crafted, or be used to craft things such as Scrap Metal. Opening a crate is often a gamble for players due to the wide range of possible contents.

When a crate is opened, a 5 second timer ticks down, alongside a sound effect of chains jangling and wood creaking. The player will receive one of a set of items, which are listed in the crate's description and dependent on its series. This item is announced to the server in a similar format to regular dropped items. The crate is then removed from the player inventory.

Note: Statistics collected Steam Users' Forum post by molaughlen, posted October 29, 2010. Full statistics table available here (Google Spreadsheet). Note that rare item statistics assume drop rates are equal regardless of series. Also assumes that the series of the crates are dropping in a uniform distribution.

Crate-opening demonstration

Finding an Unusual Hat

Trivia

  • Valve modeled the crate and padlocked chain in order to take the screenshot for the icon. These models can't be found in the game files. Their textures, however, can be.
  • The first hint to the existence of crates was seen in the Mac update trailer. The Soldier can be seen pulling various hats from a Mann Co. Supply Crate at the 23 second mark.
