| “ | Be on the lookout for lost Cargo Crates in the caves of normal missions - they are known to contain copious amounts of minerals and weapon skins! |
| — Update 25 Patch notes |
Description
Cargo Crates can spawn inside of normal missions with a 1 in 6 chance (16.666%). There will be two batteries nearby (within 30 meters) that will need to be inserted into the Cargo Crate to start the repairing process. The batteries themselves give away a blinking noise to allow to find them easier, though the crate itself doesn't. Batteries, when inserted, do not create any noise anymore. The crate needs to be manually repaired after inserting both batteries, very much like repairing a broken Mini-M.U.L.E.
Rewards
Once opened, the Cargo Crate will dispense rewards of 
Gold and chunks of the Crafting Materials based on the region the crate is located in and an additional claimable cosmetic reward.
A special Frameworks or Victory Moves can be claimed by each dwarf that is present when the crate is first opened. Compared to Paintjob, Frameworks come with additional cosmetic attachments on the weapons.
Each player will receive a skin based off of the first person who opens the crate; however, if the next player to claim already owns it, they will be rewarded with a different Frameworks.
The received skin is not linked to the class of the player opening the box in any way, it’ll simply be a skin that this person doesn’t have yet.
• There are 80 possible Frameworks that will be chosen at random as reward from 5 sets:
  Custom Engineered
|
  Glyphid Trophy Hunter
|
  Neonband
| ||
  Fourth Relic
|
  Mechanized
|
• There are 36 possible Victory Moves that will be chosen at random as reward from 9 sets:

Note: The cosmetics obtained from Cargo Crates cannot be obtained by any other means.

Trivia
- Similar encounter as Lost Pack.
- Lost Pack and Cargo Crates are two separate "dice rolls", so they will appear more often and also sometimes both will be in the map.
- Frameworks used to be called Mesh with an unique Paintjob and model modification prior to Update 28.
- The Neonband Mesh variation was accidentally leaked during Experimental and removed only to be re-added in Update 26.
- Cargo Crates used to be able to reward duplicate skins to the players who did not open the crate first, because the skin rewarded is based on the first player to claim the crate. Now, a player will always be rewarded a skin, given they do not already own every possible reward from the crate.
- There is currently a total of 5 Frameworks skins and 36 victory poses which can be obtain from Cargo Crates; when all have been collected the crate will only give the player gold and minerals.
- The developers at one point intended beer licenses for the Craft(able) Beers to be gained from Cargo Crates.
- Cargo Crates used to only give mineable crafting materials as a reward but as off Update 27 it can now give
Jadiz & Enor Pearl. - It is most likely intended for the Cargo Crate's spawn chance to be changed based on mission length, as the possible game code can be found in the game's files:
- The intended chances seem to be; — 1/10 (10%) Chance, — 1/6 (16.6%) Chance & — 1/3 (33.3%) Chance.
- The intended chances seem to be;
— 1/10 (10%) Chance, 
— 1/6 (16.6%) Chance & 
— 1/3 (33.3%) Chance.
