10
Each crate the engine places draws its own lifetime when it is created, uniformly between half this figure and twice it. The default of 10 produces crates that live between 5 and 20 minutes; CrateRegen=3 produces crates that live between 1.5 and 6 minutes. No crate ever lasts exactly this long.
An expired crate is removed and replaced by a fresh random one, so the setting governs how often crates move around the map rather than how many there are. Crates drawn into a map’s overlay layer and crates dropped by destroyed vehicles are not tracked and never expire, so this setting does not reach them.
