__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Golden Crate''' is a crate that grants one of seven {{Color|Golden}} skins which come with a Golden Perk. It costs a colossal {{Coins|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 {{Color|Golden}} [[Soldier]] skin costs {{Coins|50,000}}, the {{Color|Golden}} [[Scout]], {{Color|Golden}} [[Demoman]] and {{Color|Golden}} [[Crook Boss]] skins cost {{Coins|55,000}}, the {{Color|Golden}} [[Pyromancer]] costs {{Coins|65,000}}, the {{Color|Golden}} [[Cowboy]] costs {{Coins|70,000}} and the {{Color|Golden}} [[Minigunner]] costs {{Coins|75,000}}

==Appearance==
{{Tabber
|Current
|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.
|Second
|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.
|First
|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 [[w:c:saszombieassault:Strongbox#8|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.
