Crates

Crates are an essential feature of surviv.io. Most loot in the game is found from smashing all sorts of crates. There are currently thirty three different types of crates.

Wooden Crate
The standard and most common crate is the Wooden Crate, which is a simple wooden box. They are found scattered around the map and in a variety of buildings. It takes four hits to destroy these with fists, and different amounts for different melee weapons. It is seen as a brown square on the map. A regular crate usually drops common loot, but can drop almost anything.

Wooden Barrel
The Wooden Barrel is another crate that is only found in mansions. Eight spawn in the mansion basement and one spawns outside the entrance to the basement. They contain the same loot that a normal crate does. These take three punches to destroy. It is a brown circle on the map. There are wall barrels that are found only in the mansion basement. These take only one punch to break. Rarely, a golden wall barrel will spawn in place of a normal barrel, dropping more items.

Soviet Crate
The Soviet Crate is another crate similar to the regular Wooden Crate. However, it has a communist hammer and sickle on the top of the box on a red background to help differentiate it. These crates cannot be located on the map. It takes six punches to destroy. It contains both more quality and quantity loot than the regular crate. It was originally called "Military Crate" when it was added in v0.0.9.

Locker
The Locker is a small metal container that stores items on walls. It is currently found in the Police Station, the Hydra Bunker, Hatchet Bunker, and Chrysanthemum Bunker. It can contain any item ranging from an M9 to an M249. There are two types: a normal locker and a gold locker. The gold locker will always drop either a level 3 vest, backpack (Military Pack), level 3 helmet, or a SCAR-H. In the Police Station, there are 10 locker spots, but only 7 are filled. In the Hydra Bunker, gold lockers do not spawn. In the Hatchet Bunker, there are four lockers, but they cannot be gold. Despite the name, the lockers are the easiest to take from as they have very little HP. There's also a variant found in the Crossing Bunker and the Chrysanthemum Bunker that always drops an AK-47, 90 x 7.62mm, one normal backpack, and one The Initiative skin.

Chest
A Chest can be found in Mansion and Storm Bunker. It has the appearance of a treasure chest or skull box, but without skull and yellow details. The chest always drops two uncommon guns with ammo or a rare or uncommon item. These spawn either in the Mansion or the Storm Bunker. They take seven hits to destroy. It has similar loot to the Treasure Chest.

Treasure Chest
The Treasure Chest is a crate that is found only along the beach. It is essentially a Chest with a skull in the center and golden details in the front and corners. These, like the Soviet Crate, cannot be found on the map. The Treasure Chest can contain rare loot and is exceptionally rare, being the second rarest crate in the whole game with the rarest being the Dual Desert Eagle crate. Despite how rare it is, one will always spawn per game on a random spot on the beach. You can tell if the crate is destroyed by a much bigger wreck than regular crate. This crate will always drop a Royal Fortune and almost always a Hook. This chest has the highest chance of dropping a M249 along with the normal Chest.

Deposit Box
The Deposit Box, sometimes known as a Vault, is a small item container found in the main vault of the Bank. There are six deposit boxes in each main bank vault. Deposit Boxes drop a single loot item, while Gold Deposit Boxes drop two loot items with a higher chance of containing a weapon. They break with one punch or two shots with most guns.

Grenade Crate
The Grenade Crate is a tough uncommon crate that only contains grenades. They are found anywhere on the map. These crates appear as small, gray squares on the map. In this crate, it is common to find a Frag and/or Smoke grenade, but rarely a MIRV. These crates are often found untouched in the game as many dismiss these crates.

Bookshelves, Drawers and Stands
Bookshelves, Drawers, and Stands are crates that are found in many different buildings, including Houses, Barns, the Bank, the Mansion, and the Police Station. There are three drawers in houses, five in barns, one in the police station and in the bank; as well as five bookshelves, two drawers, and two stands in the mansion. They drop all non-exclusive loot, including skins. The Stands look like smaller variants of drawers. The bookshelves have a blue book on it and may have a potted plant. The rarer variants of drawers and bookshelves have potted plants, and drop two loot items instead of one like their normal variants. They all take four hits to destroy.

Toilet
The Toilet is a tough, common crate-like object. It is found in outhouses and houses all over the map. It looks like a standard white toilet that can be found in a house, barn, outhouse, or the Police Station. When it is destroyed, it drops most types of items. Toilets commonly drop healing items. If you see a brown line inside the toilet (probably poop), it will have increased loot and a higher chance to drop 0-3 guns. The gray variants are presumably metal, so they reflect bullets. It is not recommended to shoot the metal ones to break them open because of this. They all take 5 hits to destroy.



Vending Machine
The Vending Machine is a container that holds sodas and sometimes ammo. It contains 1-3 sodas and sometimes ammo. Found in the Bank and the Police Station. Takes 7 hits to destroy and reflects bullets.

Planter
Similar to drawers, bookshelves, and stands, planters drop non-exclusive loot. There are 8 planters and they are located in the Greenhouse building. Just like other crates, they can be easily destroyed with just 4 hits. There are 5 different types of planters. There is a planter with 2 red flowers that has white dots, a planter with 2 yellow flowers that seems to be Chrysanthemums, a planter with purple flowers with thin pedals, a planter with a pink flower, and a planter with a cream flower.

DEagle Case
The DEagle Case is exclusive to the Mansion's secret room. It will sometimes be replaced with a Chest (50%), or rarely it will have a Dual Desert Eagle case (1%). When broken, it drops the DEagle 50 and .50AE ammo only. It requires four punches to destroy.

Bunker Crate
The Bunker Crate is found in the Hydra Bunker, Storm Bunker, and in the warehouses on the Docks. It will never drop weapons. Instead, it drops a variety of items, including medical supplies, and basic armor. It previously featured The Initiative as a guaranteed drop.

Golden Bunker Crate
The Golden Bunker Crate is always found in the Egg Bunker. These always drop four AK-47s with sufficient ammo, 4 Initiative skins, and some other loot. This crate is perfect for squads mode.

Hatchet Case
The Hatchet Case is always found in Hydra Bunker, the Hatchet Bunker and sometimes in the Storm Bunker. Usually drops either an M416, an MP220, or a Vector. If you're really unlucky an M9 will sometimes spawn. There can also be an M249, but it's extremely rare. Takes 7 punches to destroy.

Fall Hatchet Case
During the Woods event, the Hydra Bunker was removed. Instead, the Hatchet Case found its home inside the Hatchet Bunker. It could drop a USAS-12 or an M249. During the event, it was the highest chance to get an M249.

Flare Crate
The Flare Crate was an orange crate that always dropped a Flare Gun and a single Flare. It only lasted during the Into the Woods event, sometimes found around the Lumber Camp.

Conch Crate
The Conch Crate is sometimes located on the docks and is always found in the Conch Bunker. It drops either the Aquatic Avenger or the Coral Guise skins, along with one uncommon item. It has a blue design with a conch symbol.

Pot
Pots are a type of clay container, much like a crate, that can be broken open to reveal a variety of items. Pots are found inside either a hut or a cabin. There are between one and five pots for each hut and two per stone bridge. Pots can be green or gold. Green pots contain a single loot item, while gold pots always contain the Island Time skin and SPAS-12 along with the 12 gauge ammo. Gold pots are only found in the center of huts with a golden rooftop. All other pots are green.

Rock Cache
The Rock Cache, otherwise known as the "Loot Rock", is a randomly placed stone that happens to spawn loot when broken. It is slightly darker than regular rocks and has a small decal underneath. It previously had the ability to face other directions. It will drop an AK-47 and 7.62mm ammo, as well as The Initiative. It will also drop 2-3 other loot items like the Golden Bunker Crate does.

Tree Cache
The Tree Cache, also known as the "Loot Tree", is the same as the rock cache, but with a tree instead. There's one placed randomly on the map with a decal beneath, but when broken, it drops a Mosin-Nagant and a Woodland Combat instead. It's hard to find but is much easier to recognize than the Rock Cache. You can find the spikes of the decal poking out beneath the tree stump.

Oak Cache
The Oak Cache was found in the Into The Woods update. It was large and stood in the middle of the Clearing. It dropped 2 LMGs and 2 shotguns. It took 20 punches to destroy.

Meteor Crate
The Meteor Crate is only obtained by the Airdrop mechanism. There are regular and golden crates. Regular airdrop crates are more common than the golden variant. When opened, one must interact or punch the metal casing to open it slowly. It then takes many punches to open. It's currently the only way to find the M1 Garand, the M4A1-S, the AWM-S, and CZ-3A1. The AWM-S and CZ-3A1 can only be found in gold crates and nowhere else in the game. The Falling Star and the Celestial Garb skins can be found in these crates, but it is not guaranteed that any one of these will drop. If you're really unlucky, it can even drop an M9. It is, however, guaranteed to contain exactly one random piece of Level 3 equipment. If you stand directly under the airdrop, you will be crushed, and the killfeed will read: "The airdrop crushed {playername}".

There's a Twitch version of a airdrop as well. It is purple and has a guaranteed 100% chance dropping a Twitch-only skin, Purple Fade.

Knife Crate
The Knife Crate is the only way to obtain certain knives in the game. The amount of knives you obtain when destroying this crate depends on which mode you are in. For solo, it drops one knife, for duos it drops two, and in squads four.

Ammo Crates
The Ammo Crate doubles as a loot crate and an obstacle at the same time. The only way to destroy these crates is by using the Wood Axe. You can shoot long weapons such as snipers through the single ammo crates. Only the Double Ammo Crate drops any type of ammo when destroyed, including flare, .50 AE and .308 Subsonic. The single Ammo Crate only spawns basic ammo.

Tree Stump
The Tree Stump drops a wood axe when destroyed. It can be found around outside and it somewhat uncommon. This crate does not appear on the map. An unknown amount greater than or equal to two spawn per map.

OT-38 Crate
The OT-38 Crate is a crate that looks like a knife crate but has an OT-38 symbol in place of the knife. It drops four OT-38s no matter what mode you are in. Users can dual wield these pistols to use all four, or take one each in squads mode.

River Chest
The River Chest is a crate that looks like a regular chest with a bridge on the top. It is found in a river and is submerged halfway into the water. It drops the Water Elemental skin, a chance for the Drowned Karambit, and a gun + ammo. It can spawn in any river size but only one can spawn per game, if at all. You can move on top of the submerged half of the crate.

Wall Mount
The Wall Mount is found against the wall in the Cabin. The most common one drops an M870. There's a chance to get an M1100, a 10/121 chance of getting the Bloody Axe or MP220, and a 1/121 chance of getting the QBB-97 variant.

When the Bird shot update came a new wall mount came.

Cattle Crate
The Cattle Crate was once found randomly, replacing all Soviet Crates on the Desert Rain maps. When broken, it dropped 2-3 items in any combination of Peacemakers (Common), Model 94s (Common), Bowie knives (Uncommon), Poncho Verde (Rare), as well as 1-2 items dropped by Soviet Crates. It can only be found on the Desert Maps.

Hatchet Crate
The Hatchet Crate is a hefty sized crate with a green stripe and an axe icon on it. The Woods crate can be found randomly on the new "Into The Woods" map or replace a normal crate in the Lumber Camp. It's fairly common and drops a shotgun/LMG/backpack etc... The Woods Crate is commonly considered the new Soviet Crate, but it is a lot more common. It replaced Soviet Crates, Bunker Crates, and possibly more things.

Crab Trap
The Crab Trap was a crate added in the Community Collage update on November 29, 2018. It is a cage with green metal bars making up the exterior. It has a red crab inside. These are always found next to every Fisherman's Shack on the map. It drops 2 random items/guns

Flower Box
Flower boxes were added in the Community Collage update. There are always 8 flower boxes inside of the greenhouse. There are 3 different types of flower boxes. The first box has pink flowers with a purple core, and light green leaves underneath. The second box has the same kind of Lotus Flower that you would find in the Mansion. The third box has yellow flowers with light green leaves underneath.

Barrel Cache
Barrel Caches were recently added in the Community Collage update. It is not known the amount of barrel caches found on a map. They are found anywhere on the map, but cannot be next to the shack/ in a building. The difference between a barrel and a barrel cache are that there is a symbol under the barrel cache unlike the normal barrel variant. Be cautious as the barrel cache explodes similar to a normal barrel. The barrel cache drops grenades, MIRV grenades, and smoke grenades. The best way to open the barrel cache is to use a gun or grenade (Frag/MIRV) to keep a safe distance from the barrel cache. The items are treated like normal and go flying upon detonation.
