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. Mann Co. Supply Crates can be opened with the use of a Mann Co. Supply Crate Key.

When a crate is opened, a five 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 are dependent on its series. This item is announced to the server in a similar format to regular dropped Items. The crate and key are removed from the player's inventory and replaced with the uncrated item.

Notes

*Drop rate is the observed drop rate.

**Estimated drop rate is an estimate as to what Valve has set the drop rate to be.

*** Please note that the unusual "drop rate" in crates series 3, 4 and 5 haven't been fully calculated yet.

Notes

• As of the November 19, 2010 Patch, Series #1 and Series #2 crates no longer drop in game. People with Series 1 and 2 crates still had the attributes set to 1 and 2, but they took on the schema ID of Series 3 and 4 crates, respectively.
• Since December 10, 2010 Patch, the Series 3, 4, and 5 crates are listed as 7, 8, and 9 respectively if viewed online. These crates have not changed in attributes, but are expected to change schema ID to the newer crates. The series 1 and 2 (with 3 and 4 ID) are listed as 7 and 8.

Trivia

• Although Valve modeled the padlocked chain for the icon, the padlocked box can't be found in the game files; its textures, however, can be found. The crate itself uses a model that appears to be the same as models/props_hydro/barrel_crate_half.mdl .
• In the Mac update trailer, a RED Soldier can be seen sifting through a crate of hats, hinting at the existence of crates before the Mann-Conomy Update.
• While Mann Co. Supply Crates are obtained through the item drop system they do not add to the total cap of items you can obtain each week.
