Description
The Basic Skincrate is the simplest skincrate in the game. This yields the most basic skins in the game, which, aside from a few exceptions, vary only in color. You are able to get duplicate skins from this skincrate, once you have unboxed all the available skins to you. Skins from this skincrate can appear in the daily shop.
Each skin that can be gotten from the Premium Skincrate has a rarity which affects how likely you are to unlock the skin and the price when it appears in the daily skin store. In the daily skin store, Common skins cost 
1,250 coins, Uncommon cost 1,500 coins and Rare skins cost 2,000. While no such skins currently exist, Legendary skins would also cost 4,000.
The Basic Skincrate resembles the look of a cardboard box with tape to seal it shut. On its side is the standard shipping symbol indicating which side is up.
