KF2 Dosh Crate Not Showing? Old Store-Overlay Trick (Outdated)

This is a short trick from 2017 for players who earned a Dosh (Vault) crate in Killing Floor 2 but could not see it. The guide is labeled "NOT WORKING" by its author, so read it as a historical note rather than a reliable fix. It is a different method from the Vault crate claim trick that uses the Steam overlay shortcut.

Condition

The trick only works if you have already earned your Dosh crate and have not restarted the game.

Steps

Go to the in-game store.

In-game store Open the store screen.

Select any item and choose the Buy option. You do not need to spend any money.

Buy option selected Choose buy on any item.

When the purchase sends you to the Steam overlay, cancel the purchase.

Steam overlay purchase Cancel in the Steam overlay.

Go to your inventory without closing the item you picked from the store. Your Dosh crate should now appear.

Inventory with crate The crate in the inventory.

Notes

The author says getting the crate is not 100 percent guaranteed; it worked for him and he hoped it would for others. Since the title marks it as not working, expect it to fail in current versions. For how crates normally drop, see item drops and crafting.
