Loot Crates are special gifts that give rewards and custom textures for different kinds of parts. They were added in the major update Custom Contraptions.

Overview[]

Every day, Loot Crates will be featured in the daily loot hunt feature. They would be scattered across random levels and players can watch an ad to get automatically directed to the crate's location. Depending on the level, the difficulty of getting to the crate varies, but in general, the contraption may be modified to reach it which can be near the goal of the level, along the path to the goal, or further away.

Upon obtaining the crate, the level pauses for the crate to be opened. The player clicks on the crate three times to blow it open and the rewards would drop out before getting revealed. They can be parts in either one-star, two-star or three-star tier redesign, desserts, scrap for the scrap machine or power ups.

Types of Crates[]

There are a total of seven types of Loot Crates. Below is a description of each of them.

Cardboard[]

The smallest of all the crates, which gives only two rewards of random kinds. Its sides are taped together with masking tape and it is tied with a peach colored bow.

Glass[]

The second smallest crate, mistakenly referred to as one made of ice or plastic. It is one of the crates to feature a unique sound effect when tapped, in its case being a cracking sound. Three rewards are given, which are of random kinds. Aside from the Bronze Crate, it is the only one to have a ribbon tied to it rather than a whole bow.

Wooden[]

The most commonly seen crate that is also synonymous with the entire Loot Crate theme. It carries considerably the dullest of designs, with a simple structure made of wood and a green bow tying it up. It gives three rewards, and parts of a certain tier are guaranteed from this crate type here on out, starting with a Common (One star) part.

Bronze[]

This crate gives two guaranteed Common parts when unlocked. As clearly as it can be seen, it is made of copper alloy and has a light blue bow tied to it. It is the first crate that gives four rewards when opened.

Metal[]

Made of silver, aluminium, titanium, iron or any debatable kind of shiny metal or metallic alloy, this is the third most valuable of the seven crates. It guarantees a Rare (two stars) part and a Common part out of the four rewards. The sound effect of this crate when it blows open is reused for the Glass, Bronze and Marble Crates. Along with the Cardboard, Wooden and Gold Crates, it is tied up with a complete bow. A free Metal Crate can be obtained by clicking on its silhouette in the credits roll, one of the game's easter eggs.

Marble[]

The second most valuable crate, it gives five rewards upon opening. The three guaranteed parts include two Common parts and a Rare part. A good chance of obtaining an Epic (Three stars) part from this crate is also present. Following the introduction of the revised Loot Hunt schedule in the Alien Parts update, it is the most precious crate featured every Monday. It is another of the crates to feature a unique breaking sound, for this crate being the cracking of the marble material. It is tied with a yellow bow.

Gold[]

The largest and most valuable of all the crates, and more special in many aspects than all the others. The Gold Crate has its own unique opening sound effects of the gold clinking during each tap, followed by a loud explosion as it blows apart. Eight rewards are then dropped out which include a guaranteed Epic part, two Rare parts and two Common parts. This crate often gives greater and more precious rewards than the other six crates, including bigger amounts of Scrap, more desserts and a higher chance of getting non-guaranteed ones (Such as Golden Cupcakes) as well as power ups. Upon entering the game for the first time, a free Gold Crate is given, allowing the immediate unlock of a random Epic part. It is also given upon purchasing the Field of Dreams Sandbox. It is tied up with a purple bow, and another of its special qualities is having a keyhole, compared to the other crates that are locked with a simple padlock, that requires a separate key for unlocking without brutally forcing it open (Hence inferring its preciousness).

Loot Hunt Schedule[]

Crates can be found on three levels every day. There is a rotation schedule for each crate type.

Day Cardboard Glass Wooden Bronze Metal Marble Gold
Monday 1 1 (Formerly) 1 1 (Formerly) 1 1 (Formerly)
Tuesday 1 1 1 (Formerly 3)
Wednesday 2 1 (Formerly 2) 1 (Formerly)
Thursday 1 1 1 (Formerly 3)
Friday 1 1 1 (Formerly 2) 1 1 (Formerly)
Saturday 1 1 (Formerly) 1 1 (Formerly 2)
Sunday 1 1 1 (Formerly 3)

In Cake Race[]

By winning a match, a crate of a random type is awarded and unlocked over a period of time increasing with the rarity of the crate itself. They give the same kind of rewards they normally do.

Depending of the cup of which you participate in (Correlates with your level), you will also get a crate at the end of the season if your rank is high enough on the leaderboard. The scheme is as follows:

  • 5-9: Glass
  • 10-14: Wooden
  • 15-19: Bronze
  • 20-24: Metal
  • 25-29: Marble
  • 30+: Gold

Free Crate by ads[]

On the main menu, a Cardboard Crate can be seen attached to a balloon in the form of a TV on the top left corner of the screen. Tapping it will play an ad, and that Crate is given subsequently. That Crate then appears again on the main menu every few hours.

In-App Purchases[]

In the shopping menu, a Wooden, Metal and Gold Crate are featured for direct purchase under the crates tab. A Wooden Crate can be purchased for 160 Snout Coins. The other two are designated as in-app purchases; a Metal Crate for US$1.99 and a Gold Crate for US$4.99.

Function[]

Upon obtaining a crate, tap on it three times. The crate blows open and the rewards inside will drop out, first under a hiding guise. They are then revealed as one and given immediately, and the kind of reward and its guarantee varies with the crate type itself.

Lootcrate

The 7 types of loot crates.

Sometimes, custom designs of parts that have already been collected would be yielded from the crate, which particularly happens after the collection of all the designs in a particular tier has been completed. As a result, it would be traded for extra Scrap, the amount increasing with the valuability of the part.

  • Notably, each existing part would be exchanged for half the amount of scrap that is needed to be put in the Scrap Machine to acquire a part of the same tier as that particular part. With the update that introduced the Alien Parts, the extra scrap amounts were reduced.
  • A Common part would be exchanged for 30 (Previously 40) scrap pieces, a Rare part for 55 (Previously 80) and an Epic part for 110 (Previously 160).
