Crates

Crates are an essential feature of Surviv.io. The easiest ways to get loot in the game are from Crates. All loot in the game is found from destroying all sorts of Crates or just lying on the ground or in Buildings. you will not know what is inside a crate because it could drop anything. There are currently forty four different types of Crates in-game.

Crate
The standard and most common crate is the normal 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, ranging from 2 with a Wood Axe to 1 with a Stone Hammer 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 Mansion or the Saloon. Eight spawn in the mansion basement and one spawns outside the entrance to the basement. By the Saloon there spawn two barrels in the middle of the room, one spawns at the top right corner and two spawn outside where one spawns close to the piano and the other at the bottom of the saloon. You can also find three wall barrels in the Saloon Bunker. 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.

Standing wood barrels can also be found in the recently-added Teahouse Complex.

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 "Soviet Crate" when it was added in the v0.0.9 "" update. There's a small chance that they spawn in Warehouses. Loot is found, dropping 3-5 items listed. It has a higher chance of spawning weapons and other powerful items than a regular crate, making it highly variable, though they are much rarer to find compared to regular crates.

On the Faction Map the Soviet Crate appeared on the red side, with the Initiative Crate spawning on the blue side. The line for the red team crates is on the bottom-left as opposed to the top-right. Also, the new texture is brighter, and it spawns significantly different loot, identical to the Initiative Crate which spawns on the blue side.

On the update, a new named POI Blood Gulch has two bunkers which contained the Faction Soviet Crate and the Initiative Crate, both hidden in a spot under two Aged Faction Statue, one red and one blue, that can only be destroyed by summoning an Air Strike using Strobes, Air Drops, and the Stone Hammer. Under the Red Aged Faction Statue, there is a secret spot containing the desert Soviet Crate that drops a Leader Helmet, Red Victorious, Machete Taiga, and a Super 90 with 16x 12 gauge (red) Ammo). Under the Blue Aged Faction Statue also contains a secret spot, this time with a desert Initiative Crate that drops a Leader Helmet, Stifled Blue, Tallow's Kukri, and an AN-94 with 90x 7.62mm (blue) Ammunition.

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 three types: a normal locker, a Golden Locker, and an orange knob locker with the Initiactive logo on it. The Golden Locker will always drop either a Level 3 Vest, Backpack (Military Pack), Level 3 Helmet, or a SCAR-H. In some cases, a K-pot-ato can be found in Gold lockers. In the Police Station, there are 10 locker spots, but only 7 are filled. Golden Lockers only spawn in the Police Station. Despite the name, the lockers are the easiest to take from as they have very little HP. The locker with the Initiactive logo is always found in the Crossing Bunker and the Chrysanthemum Bunker that always drops an AK-47, one Regular 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 drops two rare or 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 rare chance of dropping a M249 along with the normal Chest. Loot is found.

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. Loot is.

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.

The Snowball Crate was added in the v0.6.9 "" update on December 19, 2018. They are exclusive to the Snow Map, and can be found basically anywhere outside. They always drop 3 stacks of 4 Snowballs.

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 rarer and sometimes 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.

DEagle Case
The DEagle Case is exclusive to the Mansion's secret room. It will sometimes be replaced with a Chest by 40 in 81 chance, or rarely it will have a Dual DEagle case by 1 in 81 chance. 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. This can also be found in the Into The Woods V2 event and drops 2 Shotguns and Two LMGs.

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.

Barrel Cache
Barrel Caches were recently added in the Community Collage update. One spawns per map like all other caches. 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 and it is a bit darker than 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.

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 as 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 Skin instead. It's hard to find but is much easier to recognize than the Rock Cache. There is a slight color difference and will not change its look in the woods update. You can also find the spikes of the decal poking out beneath the tree stump. On the Spring map, it is almost impossible to miss, as all the other trees are Cherry Blossoms.

Oak Tree
The Oak Tree 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 17 punches to destroy.

Meteor Crate
The Meteor Crate is only obtained by the Air Drop 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 an airdrop as well. It is purple and has a guaranteed 100% chance of 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, 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, Katana, or the Stone Hammer. You can shoot far-ranged 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, .308 Subsonic, and .45 ACP. The single Ammo Crate only spawns basic ammo. Crates do not drop the .45 ACP outside of the desert events.

Stump
The 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. On the Woods Map, many more spawn per map. They are guaranteed to be found in the Lumber Camp (Into the Woods event). Stumps without axes also appear during the woods event.

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. You can also have one dual-wielded gun each in duos mode.

Potato
The Potato is a special Crate added in the "" event, and reappeared in the "Potatoheaded" event. Once destroyed, it will replace the item used to destroy it with another item of its type.
