Crates in Hooked! on Roblox are the primary way to unlock new grappling hooks and skills, and the gap between the free and paid options is significant. Knowing the exact drop rates before you spend a single coin or Robux saves you from a lot of disappointment. There are four crates total, split across two categories: Hook Crates and Skill Crates. Here is everything you need to know about each one.
What are the two crate categories in Hooked!?
Hooked! separates its crates into Hook Crates and Skill Crates. Hook Crates unlock grappling hooks that directly affect how you move and play in matches. Skill Crates unlock abilities that give you utility or mobility advantages during a game. Each category has a basic coin-funded option and a premium Robux option, and the difference in drop rates between the two is dramatic.
Hook Crates: which one should you open?
Basic Hook Crate
The Basic Hook Crate costs 300 Coins and is the starting point for most players. The drop rates tell a clear story about what to expect:
- Common: 74.29%
- Uncommon: 20%
- Rare: 4.45%
- Epic: 1%
- Legendary: 0.22%
- Mythic: 0.04%
Nearly 95% of your opens will land on Common or Uncommon. That 0.04% Mythic rate means you could open hundreds of these and never see one. The Basic Hook Crate is useful for building your collection slowly without spending Robux, but do not go in expecting anything spectacular.
Premium Hook Crate
The Premium Hook Crate costs 60 Robux and completely removes Common and Uncommon drops from the pool. The floor here is Rare:
- Rare: 74.80%
- Epic: 20%
- Legendary: 4.40%
- Mythic: 0.80%
That 0.80% Mythic rate is 20 times higher than the Basic version. If you want high-tier hooks without grinding thousands of coins, this is the most direct path. The 4.40% Legendary rate also makes meaningful upgrades feel achievable rather than theoretical.

Skill Crates: are they worth it?
Basic Skill Crate
The Basic Skill Crate costs 1,500 Coins, five times more than the Basic Hook Crate, and the drop rates mirror the Hook version:
- Common: 74.29%
- Uncommon: 20%
- Rare: 4.45%
- Epic: 1%
No Legendary or Mythic skills are available from this crate. For early-game players building a functional skill loadout, this is a reasonable investment since even Common and Uncommon skills can be useful when you are just starting out. The higher coin cost does make it slower to grind compared to Hook Crates.
Premium Skill Crate
The Premium Skill Crate costs 250 Robux, making it the most expensive option in the game. The drop table is tighter than the Premium Hook Crate:
- Uncommon: 20%
- Rare: 55.60%
- Epic: 20%
There is no Legendary or Mythic tier here either, which is worth noting given the price. You are guaranteed at least Uncommon, and more than half your opens will hit Rare. The 20% Epic rate is solid for players who want competitive skills without the grind, but the 250 Robux cost is steep compared to the 60 Robux Hook Crate.

What is the best crate to open in Hooked!?
The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. After reviewing the numbers across all four crates, here is how to think about it:
- Just starting out: Open Basic Hook Crates with your early coin income to start building a hook collection. At 300 Coins each, they are affordable enough to open regularly.
- Want strong hooks fast: The Premium Hook Crate at 60 Robux is the best value in the game. A guaranteed Rare floor with real Legendary and Mythic odds makes every open meaningful.
- Building a skill loadout: Basic Skill Crates are the only free option for skills. They are slow, but the 1% Epic rate means you will eventually pull something useful.
- Competitive skill setup: Premium Skill Crates deliver consistent Rare and Epic skills, but at 250 Robux per open, the cost adds up quickly. Prioritize these only after you have a solid hook collection.

Tips for spending coins and Robux efficiently
- Save coins specifically for Basic Skill Crates rather than splitting between both basic types, since skills have a higher floor impact on match performance early on
- Do not open Basic Hook Crates expecting Legendary or Mythic results; treat each open as a small step toward a larger collection
- The Premium Hook Crate's 0.80% Mythic rate is 20 times better than the Basic version's 0.04%, so if Mythic hooks are your goal, the Robux investment is the only realistic path
- Premium Skill Crates guarantee no Common drops, which means every open contributes something usable to your loadout
