What are loot carts in Clash of Clans?

A loot cart appears in your village if your village has recently been destroyed. Think of a loot cart as a tombstone. After your village defenses you should see a loot cart spawn somewhere and inside of it will contain the resources you have lost. You can guarantee about 20% of loot has been stored in the cart after you have tried to defend your base. Sometimes you will see a loot cart has a tombstone next to it or it will be flowing with lots of resources. If you see this randomly on your base you need to grab it immediately because loot carts only spawn once. If you haven’t logged into the game for more than three days you will see an overflowed loot crate that has all of your resources in it. After about 90 days the cart will no longer fill up anymore. The next time your base has been attacked try looking for a loot cart because you might be able to regain some of the resources you have lost.

Rewards Earned from Loot Crates in Clash of Clans

You can earn different rewards from loot crates when you’re playing the game. Some of these rewards varies from gold or elixirs. For example, if you are at level 1 and you see an overloaded loot cart you can expect to find 5,000 gold and 5,000 elixirs. If you’re at level 15 the max amount of gold you can earn from a loot crate is 18,000,000 and 18,000,000 elixirs. The higher your level the higher opportunity you have to acquire dark elixir. At level 15 you can gain up to 180,000 dark elixir. Elixirs are important to use in Clash of Clans because you can use them to upgrade troops, gold mines, gold storage, and many more objects. Dark elixir can be used to upgrade heroes and upgrade the monolith at level 15.
