Description

The Basic Crate is the simplest Crate in the game. This yields the most basic skins in the game, which, aside from a few exceptions, vary only in color. You are able to get duplicate skins from this crate, once you have unboxed all the available skins to you. Skins from this Crate can appear in the Daily Store.

Each skin that can be gotten from the Basic Crate has a rarity which affects how likely you are to unlock the skin and the price when it appears in the daily skin store. In the daily skin store, Common skins cost 1,250 coins, Uncommon cost 1,500 coins and Rare skins cost 2,000. While no such skins currently exist, Legendary skins would also cost 4,000.
