Material Crate Locations

Marvel's Wolverine has 68 Material Crates in 20 missions, from two in the Essex Institute's lab and Victor's room in Homecoming to three in This Was The Dream. Their materials craft suits, every suit raises Logan's health, and all 68 earn the Silver trophy Crate Collector.

26:05 Marvel's Wolverine has 68 Material Crates, and the game hands you the first two by name: in Homecoming, Walter tells Logan there "should be two crates of supplies in the store room right behind me here in the lab", finds only one, and decides "Vic must have kept a crate for himself. Check his room." The other 66 are hidden in 19 more missions, most of them in Japan. Their materials craft suits, every crafted suit raises Logan's maximum health, and collecting all 68 earns the Silver trophy Crate Collector. Below, every crate by mission, numbered 1 to 68 in story order as PowerPyx numbers them, with where to look and the second it shows in IGN's Sep 14, 2026 crate video.

Canada: crates 1 to 15

0:31 Canada has 15 crates in five missions. IGN's video shows The One That Got Away's four from this second.

#	Mission	Where
1	Homecoming	Storage room behind Walter in the lab
2	Homecoming	Victor's room upstairs
3	The One That Got Away	By wood stacks near a gate, after the zipline and two Reavers
4	The One That Got Away	Small tunnel beside a boat, after dropping from a building with a lone Reaver
5	The One That Got Away	Far side of the river (where the Nightmare Door is), on the right
6	The One That Got Away	Beside the second container at the docks, reached by a grapple point
7	Raise Some Hell	On the left after jumping down past three snipers
8	Raise Some Hell	Up the stream near crate 7
9	Raise Some Hell	Back-left corner of the construction yard, by the huts
10	Raise Some Hell	In a truck bed just after the Nightmare Door
11	Strays	The armory at the end of the hallway, beside the door
12	Something Much Stronger	Climb a tree at the first stream, then jump the wall
13	Something Much Stronger	Left of the main path, before a fallen tree
14	Something Much Stronger	Right at a split, in front of the fishing hut
15	Something Much Stronger	Right of the cabin after the cliff climb

1:56 Raise Some Hell's four follow in IGN's video: a ledge on the left after the jump to the cliff with the second squad of Reavers, a small ravine between two cliffs along the river, then two courtyards, one crate in the back-left corner behind a trailer and the last in the bed of a transport truck downstairs.

3:24 Something Much Stronger's four line the wilderness walk to Logan's old cabin. In IGN Guides' run, Logan passes it at 2:13:01 ("Glad to see the old fishing hut still here"), and crate 14 sits in front of that hut.

Madripoor: crates 16 to 24

4:43 The first Madripoor visit has nine crates. IGN's on-screen note for crate 16 reads: after Sabretooth throws the APC through the wall, enter the building and check behind the front desk.

#	Mission	Where
16	Knock Knock	Behind the counter in the power station building
17	Knock Knock	Up a level past a vent grate, after the server room fight
18	Mutant Detected	Behind the reception desk, keypad 0514
19	Mutant Detected	Bottom floor on the right, after Mystique opens a door
20	Mutant Detected	Locked room on the left after Mystique breaks a door, keypad 0291
21	Mutant Detected	Left of a fire, after the jet engine tunnel
22	One Last Mission	Through the doorway behind the Princess Bar's bar
23	One Last Mission	Down the left stairs
24	One Last Mission	Down the left pier after the Hand fight

6:56 One Last Mission's first crate is waiting as the chapter starts: IGN's note puts it in the small hallway to the right of the Princess Bar's bar. The second is up a steep set of stairs off the street outside, and the third down by the water on the dock, after Logan chases the Hand.

Japan: crates 25 to 53

8:02 Japan holds 29 crates, 43% of the total, in seven missions. Get Angry's five open the region.

#	Mission	Where
25	Get Angry	Alley beside an arcade
26	Get Angry	Bottom of the Sleepy Kiss bar elevator
27	Get Angry	Corridor on the right, after breaking three incense burners
28	Get Angry	Far end of a pole swing after a cave cutscene
29	Get Angry	Storage room on the right after the elevator
30	Bad Blood	Behind breakable boxes on the next building, after a rope lift and zipline
31	Bad Blood	Top of the scaffolding

45	We Were Wrong	Where the archers stood
46	We Were Wrong	Past an overturned car, on the right
47	We Were Wrong	Behind a truck in the container area
48	We Were Wrong	Left at the bottom of the warehouse stairs
49	Hell Followed With Him	Round a corner left of the weapons rack
50	Hell Followed With Him	Left corner of the training area
51	Hell Followed With Him	Right side of the forest
52	Hell Followed With Him	Immediately left after the shrine doors
53	Sinister Tidings	Shiro's hidden upstairs room, after using the sink

9:45 Bad Blood's four are all on the climb across Shinjuku toward Shiro's penthouse: behind boxes on a roof after the first zipline, on a stack of boxes as the climb begins, past a gate in a building under construction, and higher up that site after Jean levitates the hanging scaffolding.

11:07 In the Shadows is the biggest single haul, seven crates on the hunt for the mutant detectors. The first is down the steps to the lower floor of the dark arcade; for the second, IGN's note says to face the arcade entrance, go left, right and left again to a cable up to the rooftops, and find it near some AC ducts. (From here IGN's on-screen labels say "Bad Blood" for this mission's crates; the video's chapter list names them correctly.)

13:39 Death Comes to Death's three start on the rooftop where the chapter opens (turn left before you jump off), then move to the bathhouse: one in the basement under a pipe, after Logan watches the Helix Engine on the security cameras, and one to the right before the elevator, past a fake wall.

14:44 We Were Wrong's five run through the streets: behind the larger parked truck past the convenience store, on the stage ledge after the fight in the UFO restaurant, in an alcove past an overturned car, behind a truck past a low broken wall, and in a warehouse basement after the fight with two mutants.

16:31 Hell Followed With Him's four run from the village (behind the first house) up stairs to a training ground, through a misty valley (by the rocks at the water's edge) and just through the big fortress doors. Sinister Tidings' single crate comes right after, in Shiro's collection room.

Back to Madripoor: crates 54 to 68

18:08 The return to Madripoor has 15 crates. Way Down Low's first three are in the backs of trucks at Reaver checkpoints. (IGN's description lists this crate at "8:08", a typo for 18:08.)

#	Mission	Where
54	Way Down Low	Back of a checkpoint truck
55	Way Down Low	Truck at the next checkpoint
56	Way Down Low	Truck at the checkpoint down a side road
57	Way Down Low	Rooftop with satellite dishes near the radio tower
58	Roll The Dice	On the right before the casino's service elevator
59	Field Test	Left past a red car
60	Field Test	Left near market stalls, after a lone Sentinel
61	I'm Still Here	End of the right path, inside a building
62	I'm Still Here	End of the right path
63	I'm Still Here	Upper room before the noodle bar's bottom-floor door
64	I'm Still Here	Destroyed building below the Sentinel area
65	I'm Still Here	Beside a car after dropping near two Reavers
66	This Was The Dream	Right of the doorway outside, after the bell ride
67	This Was The Dream	Down and left after smashing a window in the facility
68	This Was The Dream	Up the stairs on the left in the Team X hideout

20:07 Roll The Dice has one crate and Field Test two, then I'm Still Here begins its five.

22:30 I'm Still Here's last two: after talking to Mystique, Logan drops into an area full of Sentinels, and one crate sits under the platform where the zipline ends; the other is down the street to the left when Logan spots Jean, guarded by a pair of Reavers.

23:09 This Was The Dream's three are the last crates in the game; after this mission no more appear.

Crates and suits

GamingBolt puts the cost of every material-priced suit at about 3,500 materials in total, with Classic Brown alone at 250 for players without the pre-order bonus. PowerPyx says 20 crafted standard suits max Logan's health for Adamantium Armory, and suits from the Digital Deluxe Edition do not count. Suits also unlock as the story goes on, so a crate collected early may sit unspent until the next suit appears in the menu. Which suit costs what is on Suits and Claws, and the health and progression systems are on Combat and Rage.

We think crates are worth taking as you go rather than all at the end: suits are the health upgrades Insomniac's features trailer points to, and the extra margin helps most in Japan, where the crate count also peaks. If you skipped some, the Crate Finder Adaptation turns cleanup into a short replay of each mission from Mission Select. The other types are on Whisky Bottle Locations and Nightmare Doors and Trials; the counts by mission are on Collectibles.
