Description

The Golden Crate is a crate that grants one of seven Golden skins which come with a Golden Perk. It costs a colossal 50,000, the single most expensive crate and item you can buy in the game with coins. Golden Perks make towers much stronger, but usually more expensive as well.

Each skin in this crate can appear in the daily skin store. Uniquely, unlike all other crates, each skin in this crate has its own cost. The Golden Soldier skin costs 50,000, the Golden Scout, Golden Demoman and Golden Crook Boss skins cost 55,000, the Golden Pyromancer costs 65,000, the Golden Cowboy costs 70,000 and the Golden Minigunner costs 75,000

Appearance

CurrentSecondFirst

The Golden Crate is a futuristic crate with a sleek design and multiple neon yellow lights on it. On the front, it has a small card reader and a number pad. The top of the crate opens up in a futuristic fashion, with the left and right side respectively sliding to the left and right, revealing a pile of coins inside.

The crate was larger than the Basic Crate. It was more smooth and sleek, and appeared to open up like a futuristic crate. There was a card reader attached to it.

The crate looked exactly like the Platinum Crate, except that it was yellow in color.

Trivia

• The current design of the Golden Crate is likely based on the Nantonium Strongbox from SAS: Zombie Assault 4.
• The Golden Crate is currently the only item in the game that gives a buff to a tower outside of Consumables and support Towers.
  • The only other item to do this was the Platinum Crate, which was the same thing as the Golden Crate, but easier to get.
• The Golden Crate uniquely shortens the name of the Pyromancer to Pyro in its inventory description.
• All towers from this crate have a unique sound when placed. Other unique placement sounds of skins override this sound however.
