Mann. Co Supply Crates are tool items obtainable only through the item drop system. They can only be unlocked by using Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys, which are only purchasable at the Mann Co. Store for the price of .

When unlocked, the crate yields one of the items listed in its series and is then removed from the player inventory. Dropped crates do not count as part of the weekly drop cap, but are instead part of a different distribution system. The crate cannot be crafted, or be used to craft things such as Scrap Metal. Mann Co. Supply Crates are released in series at the rate of one per week, and it is possible to have a random drop of any series number. Opening a crate is often a gamble for players due to the wide range of contents.

When a crate is opened with a key, a 5 second timer ticks down, alongside a sound effect of chains jangling and hinges creaking. The item inside is announced to the server in a similar format to regular dropped items.
