Crates

Crates are a mechanic that are included in GunColony. You can obtain crates in many ways. When you open a crate, you receive many items.

Crates have been heavily revamped in the July 2016 Crate Opening Animation Update. Not only was the animation changed, crates may now guarantee high rarity items and contain more items when players are higher leveled.

Rewards
Crates currently only contain guns and tokens.

Obtaining Crates
There are many ways to get crates. 1. Getting Kills. Sometimes when you get a kill (player or mobs), you can get a random crate. 2. Server Voting. When you vote for the server, you will get a Gold Crate plus almost always finding another crate or obtaining additional Iron, Diamond, Giant, Exotic, or Mythical crates by chance. If you vote 4 times, you will get a Diamond Crate instead. 3. Arena/Map Voting. When you vote for a pvp map (/pvp vote ), you can get a random crate.

Crate Types
There are 7 different types of crates in GunColony, listed in order of rarity:
 * Wood Crate
 * Iron Crate
 * Gold Crate
 * Diamond Crate
 * Giant Crate
 * Exotic Crate

Each of the rarities is significantly rarer than the last one, with the exception of Exotic Crate, which is in fact as common as Giant Crates.
 * Mythical Crate

Legacy Crate
Prior to the July 2016 Crate Opening Animation Update, crate opening had a different mechanic. These crates now have a "Legacy" in bracket after their names and can be redeemed for in-game items.

For legacy crates, Left click to get 1, Shift left click to take the whole stack. Right click a crate, while holding it, to open the crate.

Trivia
- The crate system is heavily based on Clash Royale's, due to Hky's addiction to the game.
