Material Crates are the most common collectible in Marvel’s Wolverine, and tracking them down is how Logan pays for his wardrobe. Nearly every story mission hides a few, and once you open enough of them you can craft every alternate suit in the game.
Quick answer: There are 68 Material Crates spread across every region. Each one gives 50 materials for crafting suits and claws, and opening all of them unlocks the Crate Collector trophy.
What Material Crates give you
Each crate rewards 50 materials, the currency used to craft Wolverine’s outfits and their matching claws. Suits themselves unlock automatically through the story, but you need materials to actually build them, and every suit you craft also raises your maximum Health.
Collecting all 68 crates unlocks the Crate Collector trophy. Gathering enough materials to build every suit also feeds into the Adamantium Armory trophy for fully upgrading your Health.
How to spot and track crates
Crates emit a faint clicking sound that Logan’s senses pick up, and they show a large blue sphere from a distance. Logan will occasionally comment when one is nearby.
- Equip the Crate Finder Adaptation to mark crates from far away and through walls.
- Turn on the outline option under Settings > Visuals > Collectibles and Interact Shader to highlight crates in a color of your choice.
- Check the collectible tracker in the pause menu or Nightmare Cabin to confirm how many you have found per chapter.
Nothing is missable. After finding your second Nightmare Door you can use chapter select from the Nightmare Cabin bed and mop up any crate you skipped, with all progress carrying over.
