Reward Crate (Original)

Reward Crates were special items found in the Hideout at the completion of a mission.

Description
Reward Crates were awarded to players after successfully completing a mission. Upon returning to the Hideout, players would see the reward crate by the side door of the Hideout between the Mission Select table and Hero Items. Upon interacting with the reward crate, the player would learn what item they have received. Players can receive cosmetics for their character (including shirts, pants, hairstyles, gestures, and other items), or more rare items like the Light of Rebellion. Only one item is awarded to the player and duplicates are possible.

If a player in the mission captured a Stalker, players would need to open the reward crate before collecting the dossier earned. The dossier would appear in the same spot as the reward crate on the Hideout floor.

In almost every case, players in the group would earn the same reward crate level but the item earned would vary. Reward crates were still awarded to the players who were suppressed by the Shape in the end of the mission even though this player(s) would not contribute to the team XP multiplier. Groups that failed a mission would not earn a reward crate when returning to the Hideout; groups could retry the mission for a chance to succeed and earn a reward crate. The only time players in the group would earn different level crates is when the player who caught the stalker reaches the next reward crate tier due to the Stalker Caught bonus earned.

Crate Types
There were four different reward crates that players could earn. The crate earned was determined via an algorithm that takes into account the number of teammates who made it to the exit awake, bonus evidence acquired, among other factors not disclosed. It was possible to earn the same XP value in different missions but earn a different reward crate in each mission because of these factors.

Gumshoe
The lowest reward crate possible, Gumeshoe reward crates contained basic items - mainly neutral colored shirts, track pants, and some vests. Gumshoe crates were only earned at lower levels, typically playing solo without acquiring any bonus evidence.

Jr. Investigator
One of the most common reward crates, Jr. Investigator crates contained many hairstyles, vests, shirts, as well as a few basic gestures. This was typically earned by 2-3 player groups who acquired less than half of the bonus evidence.

Investigator
Another common crate, Investigator crates contained a few more rare gestures (mainly dances) as well as the baseball jackets. This crate was usually earned by 3-4 player groups who acquired most of the bonus evidence. This crate awarded Lights of Rebellion, but not very often.

Jr. Detective
The highest tier and the most difficult to achieve, the Jr. Detective crate awarded players with more rare cosmetics (e.g. Army jacket), as well as more gestures like "I'm Hot". This crate had the highest chance of awarding a Light of Rebellion. Though it was rare to receive, it typically required a 4-person team capturing all bonus evidence to have a chance of earning a Light of Rebellion.

Trivia

 * Some players may have additional cosmetics not awarded through reward crates, including "Chosen" shirts and halos.
 * Players at the top of the Stalker leaderboards can receive exclusive cosmetics through a reward crate at the end of the leaderboard period.
 * Though rare, it is possible for players to earn different reward crates. The player who captures the Stalker (if the host has enabled it) can have the additional 150XP push them into the next reward crate level than their teammates.
