Crate drops

Crates are one kind of container in West of Loathing. They provide random loot, varying according to the type of crate.

Quantities
A given crate will generally give you 2 items, with a 30% chance of a 3rd item. Each of the first 2 items can appear in multiple quantities, however, with the quantity depending on how many (of the same type of) crates you've opened: each type of crate has a unique counter, which is incremented every time you open a crate of that type.
