The Scout on unlocking secret crates

Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys are single-use tool items which are available at the Mann Co. Store, and were recently made tradable in the October 20, 2010 Patch. They are the only method to unlock crates, another type of item which occasionally contains a singular rare item (although always contain an item).

This item is a Tool. It can only be applied to the Mann Co. Supply Crate in your backpack, and is consumed in the process. Click the 'Use with...' button in the backpack and select the Crate you wish to open to start the process of applying it.

Trivia

  • The key was modeled so a proper screenshot could be taken for the icon. The model for the key can't be found in the game files. However, the UV map file can still be found in the gcf.
  • When the Mann-Conomy update was first released, the only way you could obtain a key was through purchasing it at the Mann Co. store, but it is now tradeable.
  • Along with white/black paint, gifts, and unusuals, keys are not available through the drop system.
