Crate-opening demonstration
Finding an Unusual Hat
Trivia
- Valve modeled the padlocked chain in order to take the screenshot for the icon, but the chain, padlock, and padlocked box can't be found in the game files. Their textures, however, can be. The crate is the same as
models/props_hydro/barrel_crate_half.mdl. - 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.
