Sunken Crate

The Sunken Crate is a unique loot container introduced to Rust on May 3, 2018. Strategically located underwater near shipwrecks in the ocean, these crates can be identified above the surface by a floating water bottle marker. The introduction of Sunken Crates coincided with the addition of boats and diving gear to the game, which significantly simplify the process of retrieving these crates from the depths of the ocean.

A crucial piece of equipment for crate retrieval is the diving tank, as it is essential for players to avoid drowning while underwater. Although the diving tank is the only mandatory item needed to loot Sunken Crates, the rest of the diving gear—including the wetsuit, fins, and diving mask—enhances your efficiency by enabling faster movement and improved visibility under the sea.

Seeking out Sunken Crates is well worth the effort due to the valuable loot they contain. These crates are treasure troves filled with high-tier items that can give players a competitive edge. To find them, look for shipwrecks that are often spread across the ocean floor and use the floating water bottle markers as a guide to the crates' locations. With the right preparation and equipment, diving for Sunken Crates can be both a profitable and exhilarating experience in Rust.
