Underwater Lab Tech Crate
Loot container
The Underwater Lab Tech Crate can hold 9 different items and always gives 8 Scrap. The most stand at Arctic Research Base (about 2.5).
What the Underwater Lab Tech Crate drops
Chance is for one container opened or one body looted: the chance the item is inside. Amount is how many when it is there.
Counts are for a monument with every spawn point filled. A spawner that holds one kind of crate gives an exact number; a mixed one picks a crate each time it spawns, so the count is an average and the last column gives its ceiling.
Across procedural Rust server maps, Underwater Lab Tech Crate is a world loot prefab featuring 6 inventory slots (250 breakable durability) that draws from 9 possible item entries alongside 8 guaranteed Scrap across 3 monument and world spawner groups. Every drop row in the reference table above is compiled directly from the game's internal loot trees at build time to reflect vanilla survival rates.

In addition to per-item drop probabilities, stack size bounds, and spawn durability ranges, the Underwater Lab Tech Crate sheet tracks expected container populations across every monument layout on the island. Solo players and clans can compare guaranteed Scrap and component returns per container open and plan monument routes around yellow, green, or red recyclers across the wipe.
