What are gift crates?

#1

I have never seen any videos or anything or the patch updates talking about it. Does anyone know what they are?

From the patch announcement:

Mystery Crates are another alternative way to acquire bundles of Cosmetics. Every time you win a match, you have a chance of winning a Mystery Crate filled with Cosmetics, Prismatic Cards, and game content.

Remember, cosmetics can always be directly crafted or purchased from the Armory, but the Mystery Crates provide another method to acquire high-rarity cosmetics. Duplicate cosmetic items dropping from crates will be disenchanted for a fraction of the Spirit cost.

There are 3 tiers of Crates, and you can have up to 5 of each in your inventory:

Common
2 Cosmetic Items
1 Prismatic Card
Chance for a Common Crate Key
Rare
1 Spirit Orb
3 Cosmetic Items
1 Prismatic Card
Better chance for a Common Crate Key
Better chance for high rarity items
Epic
3 Spirit Orbs
3 Cosmetic Items
2 Prismatic Card
Better chance for a Common Crate Key
Best chance for high rarity items

You need a special key to open them:

Each Crate type requires a key to open. Keys can be purchased, or earned via Hidden Achievements. Note: A system for you to earn a small number of free keys in-game is in the works.

I think that they are going to add them in later. In LoL it is cheaper if you buy random cosmetics and gift it to someone else, so I think they might be going for something similar.

Gift crates in TL;DR form, are boxes that have Duelyst stuff

Gift Crates are specifically for the end of season rewards. You won’t need a key to open them.

There are several types of crates.

Loot Crate - Your end of month reward based on your rank.

Mystery crate - The newest type of crate that you get randomly from winning games.

Gift Crate - These are usually things that CounterPlay give to you based on some special event or for a special reason. (eg. they gave out the snowchaser emote back in December/January as a gift)
