Crate

Crates are boxes that are randomly dropped between turns. When a worm collects a crate, it will receive a random weapon, utilities, or HP. Some crate probabilities can be set in user custom schemes.

Weapon Crate
Weapon crates appear in every Worms game. They can contain additional stock of any weapon.

Booby-trapped Crate
In Worms Reinforcements, it is possible for weapon crates to be booby-trapped. These would explode on contact, for damage as low as 5 or as high as 25, depending on the game settings. In Worms 2, even with Crate Spy there is no indication that it may be booby-trapped. Booby-trapped crates were removed in Worms Armageddon.

Health Crate
Health crates, also known as first-aid crates, first appeared in Worms Reinforcements and would restore 50 HP on pickup. In later games this is changed to 25 but can be adjusted in the game settings. From Worms Armageddon onward, they also cure poison.

Utility Crate
Utility crates first appeared in Worms 2, with the shape of a blue toolbox. If no utilities are set in the crate chance menu, they can contain Crate Spy, Crate Shower, Double Damage or Double Turn Time. In Worms 4: Mayhem and Worms: Ultimate Mayhem, they can also contain Armour, and Double Turn Time (renamed "Extended Time") are present in Mystery Crates instead of utility crates.

Mystery Crate
Mystery Crates only appear in Worms 4: Mayhem and Worms: Ultimate Mayhem. They can be either beneficial or harmful. They are, however, extremely useful with Crate Spy and Ninja Ropes.

Coin Crate
Coin crates were introduced in Worms Revolution. They give the players the opportunity to buy weapons in-game. All coin crates contain 10 coins you can use in the inventory shop. Almost every mode in Worms Revolution feature this, except Classic Mode.

Trivia

 * In earlier Worms games, you could hit or throw a worm onto a crate (for example, if you hit a worm with a Baseball Bat and it landed on a weapon crate), and it would give that worm a weapon. Since Worms Revolution, the worm would just sit on it or push it.
 * Most walking weapons can collect crates. These are Sheep, Super Sheep, Aqua Sheep, Mole, Skunk, Old Woman, and Inflatable Scouser.
 * In Worms: Ultimate Mayhem, the red cross on the sides of health crates was changed to green. The emblem of the International Red Cross is a protected symbol that can't be used without permission. The green cross is a common symbol of pharmacies and chemists in Europe and elsewhere.
 * Crates spawned by Crate Shower do not follow the probability rules of the match.
 * In some missions, the crates are preset, so they always contain a certain item.
