Containers

Containers are all kinds of crates, barrels, boxes and pottery that might contain items. Containers can be found in all levels, usually in small groups around cliffs, and can be identified by a golden shimmer.

There are various types of containers that contain different items in different quantities. Most of the content of regular containers is randomized but a lot of containers can be identified as specific containers (e.g. weapon crates, medicine crates etc.) that always contain items of pre-defined types.

Looting containers
Containers can be destroyed through various actions like melee attacks, explosives or direct fire.

Destroying containers will allow the player to collect the content. The only exception being the locked crate, which requires a key to be opened, in order to retrieve the contents without damaging them. The most efficient way to destroy large groups of containers is by dodging through them. This will destroy most containers, except for rigid or better secured containers, like metallic containers, which are best destroyed by shooting them with shotguns or rifles.
