A crate run is the whole game in one trip. You are done only when the crate is on your plot and, after READY, the treasure is placed. Touching a crate in a rich area is not the reward.
Pick a target you can return
Bigger, richer bases and farther areas hold better crates. That is the risk the title is built on. Before you press STEAL, name the way home. Water, palms, sand, and gray streets are the landmarks players have used to tell areas apart. A district name does not promise a drop table.
On PC the prompt is E Steal. Use whatever button your device shows. Carry the crate straight back. Opening happens at your plot, not in the street.
Place, wait, open
- Put the crate on a free slot. If you see the 7-slot warning, you cannot place another until you sell, replace, or upgrade at the sign.
- Wait for READY and the Open Crate prompt. A sitting crate prints no cash.
- Read the unboxed label before you celebrate. It can show a name, a rarity, a $/s income, a condition such as Great, Immaculate, or Mint, and odds written as 1 in N.
- Place the item if its $/s beats your worst pad. Sell the loser at the SELL stall. Sale cash and income per second are different numbers.
Which crate tier to care about
Three crate tiers are proven by badges created on 10 Sep 2026. Award counts from the badges API on 9 Oct 2026:
| Opened badge | Awards on 9 Oct 2026 | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Secret Crate Opened | 780,342 | Most reached of the three |
| Eternal Crate Opened | 366,330 | Mid reach |
| Divine Crate Opened | 52,649 | Rarest confirmed tier |
Those counts are not drop rates. Drop rates are the 1-in-N odds on an item label. No new crate-tier badge appeared with the Angelic Area or the 9 Oct 2026 update. The same six badges were still the whole list.
Official art also names three premium crates and prints income ratings as shown, commas included: Space Crate 97,6754Sp/s, Archeologist Crate $94,6794Sp/s, and Demon Crate with no rating on the art. Sp is the game's septillion-scale shorthand, past K, M, B, and T. Do not convert those art strings into a different number.
When a run fails
If you never get a prompt, you are not on an interactable crate. If the plot rejects the place, you are full. If READY never seems to come, the crate is still closed and earning zero. If a far area deletes the trip, you needed more Speed or a shorter route, not a different superstition about crate color.
Demon versus Angel crate bundles are a separate Robux product added 20 Sep 2026. They are not the same thing as stealing a world crate. Prices from the 8 Oct 2026 shop read are on the Robux shop guide.
