Crates can be found randomly lying around in any area in the game. When they are damaged or opened (by pressing up + action while holding it), they will be destroyed and leave a random item in their place.
Contents
Chests may contain most kinds of equipment, weapons or accessories, and most commonly contain bombs or ropes. More useful items, such as Jetpacks, are significantly rarer.
A crate will never contain any of the following:
- The Udjat Eye
- The Ankh
- The Hedjet
- The Scepter
- The Book of the Dead
- The Kapala
- Royal Jelly
- Any kind of Treasure
- Any object-type item.
It is unknown whether the Shield, the Crysknife, Vlad's Cape or Vlad's Amulet can be found inside of a crate.
It is possible - albeit extremely rare - to find the Plasma Cannon in a crate, which is usually only found in The Mothership.
As the contents of a crate are determined by the random 'generation seed' of the cave, their contents are always fixed from the start of the game.
As a result, it is entirely possible to find an item you already own inside of a crate.
