Orange Supply Crate in Warzone: What the Legendary Box Holds

The orange crate is the top-tier loot box in Warzone. Raven's patch notes call it the Legendary Supply Box (and sometimes the Orange Supply Box), and it sits above the grey and blue boxes. It is a Warzone object, so it appears in Battle Royale and Resurgence, not in standard multiplayer.

This page describes Warzone on 2 November 2026: the Black Ops 7 era, Season 06, last patched 14 October. Modern Warfare 4 content joins Warzone on 6 November 2026, and Raven's Season 1 Warzone roadmap was due on 2 November, so loot tables may change that week.

What the official notes say it contains

Raven's patch notes do not publish a full loot table. They do give specific, dated facts:

Date	Fact
21 April 2026 (Season 03 update)	In Battle Royale a Legendary Supply Box drops a maximum of 1 perk (previously 2), and the chance to drop a perk fell from 100% to 60%. The Armor Satchel drop rate fell by 6%
22 July 2026 (Season 05)	In Resurgence, the maximum cash drop from Orange Supply Boxes was raised to $5,000, while Grey and Blue Supply Boxes were cut to a $2,000 maximum
16 September 2026 (Season 06)	The perks that can come from Legendary Supply Boxes are Drill Instructor, Surveyor, Momentum and Shrouded

Raven explained the April change as a way to smooth power progression: the box had been contributing to faster-than-intended power spikes. The July change did the opposite for cash, making Legendary Supply Boxes "a more meaningful loot objective" by shrinking early cash spikes from the standard boxes.

The pool of lootable perks rotates each season. Season 05 listed Survivor, Momentum, Mountaineer and Scavenger for the same box, so check the current patch notes before planning around a specific perk.

Where they come from

• Hotzones. On 24 June 2026 (Season 04 Reloaded), hotzones on every map except Rebirth Island gained a higher chance of Legendary Supply Crates, with an extra increase on Haven's Hollow. The number outside hotzones was slightly reduced.
• Supply Drones. From Season 05 (22 July 2026) a portion of loot is delivered by drones: around 40% of Legendary Supply Box loot. Season 06 reworked them: drones hover above High Value Loot Zones, carry more Legendary Crates and fewer other boxes, and respawn up to a limit per circle when destroyed. On 7 October the cap on active drones fell from 13 to 11 in Battle Royale and from 8 to 7 in Resurgence, and the share of legendary crates fell slightly.
• Quests. In Verdansk, the Bay Gates quest in the stadium rewards a Favorite Supply Box alongside a Legendary Box (Season 02 Reloaded notes, 10 March 2026).

High Value Loot Zones in Verdansk were Superstore, Hospital and Stadium at the start of Season 06 (Drone Labs, Train Station and Port in Season 05).

Killstreaks inside the box

Killstreak rewards were adjusted in Resurgence in the Season 05 launch notes (22 July 2026): the killstreak drop frequency from Legendary Supply Boxes fell by 15% on Fortune's Keep, Rebirth Island and in Ranked, and by 10% on Haven's Hollow. The notes explain that too many killstreaks were affecting pacing.

Not to be confused with

• Favorite Supply Box. It gives your saved Favorite loadout and is a different box type. See the Loadout Drop page for the loadout marker you buy.
• Reusable and Personal Supply Boxes. The Season 05 notes list these beside the Legendary box, and state that all Personal Supply Box loot is delivered by drones.
• Care Package. A killstreak, not a box found on the ground; see Care Package.
