Hanging Crate

The Hanging Crate is a Heavy Indestructible Wooden Object used in maps as a hanging platform and to crush foes.

The Hanging Crate was added alongside the new joints added to the game. Hanging Crate is intended to be used with joints to be suspended allowing as a swinging platform for players to utilize, as long as it isn't detached from its holder. Hanging Crates are prevalent in the map Hazardous.

Combat
The Hanging Crate can be used as a hanging platform as initially intended, but can also be used as a sturdy piece of cover and, when dropped from a height, can crush and gib a player beneath it. Hanging Crates are usually seen in open maps, such as High Moon, East Warehouse and others, mainly because each crate is large in size.

While on a Hanging Crate kicking in any direction causes the Hanging Crate to jerk in that direction, following your kicks with it's swinging motion causes the crate to swing wildly, diving off the the Hanging Crate in the middle of one of its swings gives you the same momentum, launching you across the map and allowing you to cover a significant distance in a short time, this same strategy can be used to detach the crate towards a fighter to crush them, although this requires precise timing.
