CSR2 Crate Odds: Official Drop Rates for Every Crate

Every crate in Rare Imports runs on fixed odds, and Zynga publishes them in the CSR2 help centre. Most players never look, and the few who do see percentages that are hard to feel: what does “2%” actually cost you? This page collects every official crate rate in one place and turns each one into the number that matters: how many crates it takes before most players get what they want.

Car crates: the official odds

Crate	5★ car	4★ car	3★ car	2★ car	1★ car
Gold crate	10%	30%	60%	-	-
50 Silver Keys crate	2%	8%	24%	29%	37%

One car per crate. From Zynga’s CSR2 help centre at the time of writing.

The gap between them is the headline. A Gold crate is five times as likely to give a 5-star car as a Silver one, and it never gives a 1- or 2-star car at all; nearly two thirds of Silver crates do.

If you’ve seen a 150 Silver Keys crate quoted in an older guide, with the same 10/30/60 odds as Gold, that crate is gone: Zynga removed it from the game on 15 January 2021.

Parts crates: the official odds

Parts crates hold several items, and Zynga gives the chance of getting at least one of each kind:

Crate	Items	Fusion	Stage 6	Other
Bronze crate	3	100%	33%	Cash 30%, car 2%
Parts crate	3–5*	100%	10%	-
Elite Tuners parts crate	3–5*	100%	10%	-
Legends parts crate	5	99%	10%	Components 63%

*3 items for Tier 1–3 cars, 4 for Tier 4, 5 for Tier 5. “Components” are Legends restoration components.

The Legends machine in Rare Imports has its own odds, which depend on the car’s tier. The first three columns are fusion parts by rarity:

Tier	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Stage 6
2 & 3	95%	56%	27%	7%
4 & 5	99%	75%	41%	12%

Two things stand out. Fusion parts are close to guaranteed in every parts crate, so they’re never the scarce item; Stage 6 parts are. And the Bronze crate is the best Stage 6 source in this list at 33%, three times the regular Parts crate. Our fusion parts guide explains why both matter for a record-level car.

What the percentages mean in crates

A percentage is an average, and averages hide how uneven luck is. Each crate is independent, so here’s how many crates it takes before half of players, and then nine in ten, have the item:

What you want	Chance	Average	Half of players by	9 in 10 by
5★ car from a Silver crate	2%	50 crates	35th crate	114th crate
4★ or better from a Silver crate	10%	10	7th	22nd
5★ car from a Gold crate	10%	10	7th	22nd
4★ or better from a Gold crate	40%	2.5	2nd	5th
Stage 6 part from a Bronze crate	33%	3	2nd	6th
Stage 6 part from a Parts crate	10%	10	7th	22nd
Stage 6 part, Legends machine (T4–5)	12%	8.3	6th	19th
Epic fusion, Legends machine (T4–5)	41%	2.4	2nd	5th

Chance is per crate, worked out from Zynga’s published rates. “Half of players by” means a 50% chance of having it by that crate.

The first row is the one to remember. At 50 Silver Keys a crate, a 5-star car takes 1,750 Silver Keys for a coin-flip chance and 5,700 Silver Keys to be nine-in-ten sure. One player in ten will still be waiting after that.

“5-star” doesn’t mean your 5-star car

The published car odds are for any car of that star rating in the crate’s pool. If a crate can give several different 5-star cars, the chance of the one you actually want is that 10% or 2% split between them. Event crates that feature a specific car usually show their own odds in the game; check them before you open, because they can be very different from the standard rates above.

How to use this

• Want a 5-star car? Gold crates are five times better per crate than Silver. Spending Silver Keys on 5-star hunting is the slowest route in the game.
• Short of Stage 6 parts? Bronze crates give one in a third of the time, against one in ten from a Parts crate.
• Building a Legend? The Legends machine gives an Epic fusion about two times in five in Tiers 4 and 5.
• Set a limit before you start. Decide how many crates you’ll open, and stop there, whatever happens.

Our keys guide covers where to earn each type of key and how to spend them, and our guide to free gold and cash lists the reliable sources. If you’d rather skip the crates altogether, we can add Gold Keys, Silver Keys or a specific car to your own account.
