Crates

Crates are an essential feature in surviv.io. Almost all loot is found from smashing crates. Currently, there are seventeen types of crates.

Crate
This crate is a simple wooden box. They are found scattered around the map and in large warehouse-like buildings. In it, you can find the following items. This is the 3rd weakest Crate. It is followed by the toilet. It takes 4 hits to destroy. It is seen as a brown square on the map.

Wooden Barrel
The wooden barrel is another crate found exclusively in the mansion as of now. Two spawn in the mansion basement and one spawns outside the entrance to the basement. They can contain the same loot that a normal crate does. These take 3 punches to destroy. It is a brown circle on the map. The wall barrels take 1 punch to break.

Soviet Crate
The Soviet Crate is another crate similar to the regular Crate. However, it has a communist hammer and sickle on the top of the box on a red background to differentiate it. It takes double the amount of punches as a normal Crate. It contains much better loot than the regular Crate, and in higher quantity. In it, you can find the following items. It was originally called Military Crate when it was added in v0.0.9. You cannot see it on the mini-map

Lockers
The Locker is a small metal container used to protect and hold items. It is found in the Police Station or the Hydra Bunker. It can contain any item from an M9 to a M249. There are two types: the normal locker and the gold locker. The gold locker will always drop either a level 3 vest, backpack (Military Pack), level 3 helmet, or a SCAR-H. In Police Station there are 10 locker spots, but only 7 are filled. In Hydra Bunker gold lockers do not spawn.Despite the name the lockers are not locked and are the easiest to take from as they only take one hit to open, making them the weakest crate (tied with bank vaults) as of now.

Chest
Can be found in Mansion and Storm Shelter. Has the appearance of a treasure chest or skull box, but without skull and yellow details. Always drops 2 rare guns with ammo. Spawns either like this in the mansion or as a single/dual Desert Eagle crate.

Treasure Chest
The Treasure Chest is a crate that is found only along the beach. It has a rectangular shape to it. It contains very rare loot and is exceptionally rare, being the rarest crate in the whole game along with the Dual Desert Eagle crate. A strategy for hunting these down is to simply walk around the map on the beach and keep an eye out for the skull and crossbones. Players who do this are "beach patrollers". You can tell if the crate is destroyed by a much bigger wreck than regular crate. In this crate, you can find the following items. You can't see the Treasure Chest on the map.

Editors Note:  Probably the highest chance to get a M249. (Probably Hatchet Case)

Deposit Box
The Deposit Box (also known as a Vault) is a small container found in the bank. There are 6 spots for vaults and all of them are filled. They contain almost all loot. The golden variety usually contains better loot, but can contain bad loot too.

(They are called deposit boxes but many prefer the term vault instead.) ==

Grenade Crate
The Grenade Crate is a tough uncommon crate that only contains grenades. They are found anywhere on the map. It is a small grey square on the map. In this crate, you can find the following items. It is commonly dismissed as no one really opens them.

Bookshelves, Drawers and Stands
Bookshelves & drawers are crates that are found in all buildings except the warehouses and bunkers. There are 3 drawers in the house, 5 drawers in the barn, 1 stand in the police station, 1 cabinet in the bank, and 5 bookshelves and 3 drawers in the mansion. They drop all non-exclusive loot, including skins. There are also small variants of Drawers called Stands. The rarer variants of the drawers have potted plants. The bookshelves have a blue book and a potted plant. There is no such thing as rare stands. (Maybe in the Future?)

Editors Note: Its called Bookshelf in the files, not tables.

Editors Note 2: The "Mini Drawers' are called stands.

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 any of the following items. Toilets commonly drop bandages, which look suspiciously like toilet paper. 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 and so reflect bullets. It is not recommended to shoot them to break them open because of it.



Vending Machine
The vending machine is a container that holds sodas and sometimes ammo. It contains 2-3 sodas and rarely ammo. Found in Banks and the Police Station.

Desert Eagle Case
This Crate is EXCLUSIVE to the Mansion and can be found in the secret room. It will sometimes be replaced with a Chest or it will have Dual Desert Eagles.

Bunker Crate
Can be found in Hydra Bunker and Storm Shelter. Drops 1 or more Initiative skins, some health items, and scopes.

Gold Bunker Crate
Always found in Bunker. Always drops AK-47 with ammo, 4 Initiative skins, and some other loot. Exclusive to the Bunker.

Hatchet Case
Always found in Hydra Bunker and very rarely in Storm Shelter. Drops either an HK416, an MP220, an M249, or a Vector. If you're really unlucky an M9 will sometimes spawn.

Editors Note: Its Hatchet Case not Axe Crate I saw the real name in the games files. There can Also be an M249, But it's extremely rare!

Conch Crate
The Conch Crate is either located on the docks or in the Conch Bunker. It drops the Aquatic Avenger or the Coral Guise and everything a Bunker Crate would normally drop. It appears like the bunker crate but with blue instead of gray and with a conch symbol instead of a nuclear symbol. It is guaranteed in the Conch Bunker (Still need proof to vertify)

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 of a hut. There will usually be between two and five pots for each hut. Pots can be green or gold. Green pots contain a single loot item, while gold pots contain the Island Time and SPAS-12.
