- "We worried about the crate cliché a lot during development. Finally we gave up, and one of the first things you see when you start the game is a crate. We figured that this was the Old Man Murray equivalent of throwing yourself to the mercy of the court."
- ―Gabe Newell[src]
Originally manufactured and used by the Combine, the supply crate is used in great numbers by the Resistance to hold and deliver health, ammunition, and energy equipment. Standard wooden supply crates are generally located near a Lambda logo, while infinite ammo crates are in Combine and Resistance-controlled areas.

[edit] Overview
- Supply crates visually are very different from normal wooden crates, as they are much smaller and have the word "supply" written on them, inside a yellow square.
- Much like other objects, crates can be picked up and destroyed by the Gravity Gun quite easily. The crowbar will do the trick in one hit in easy mode, and two to three hits in medium to hard modes.
- At some point in Half-Life 2: Episode Two, supply crates are equipped with a Transponder, allowing Gordon and Alyx to find them easier with the radar located in the Muscle Car.
- Supply crates are also needed for the "Lambda Locator" Orange Box Achievement in Half-Life 2 and the "Cache Checker" achievement in Episode Two, involving the finding of every supply crate cache.
- The supply crate also has a variant (the "infinite ammo crate"), which contains infinite ammo. More of the size of a trunk, it is dark green, and made out of metal. They cannot be moved or destroyed and will resupply every time they are opened. RPG infinite ammo crates will often hint an important battle to come, most of the time involving one or more Combine Gunships or Striders.
[edit] Trivia
Some texture files show that infinite ammo crates were also to provide ammo for the .357 Magnum and the crossbow. They can still be added with Hammer but will display the "ERROR" model because the crate models are missing.
