Void Potential

The  refers to both an interactable and a loot object introduced in the Survivors of the Void update. The article will refer to the Void Potential Chest and Void Potential Orb to distinguish between the two.

Void Potential Chest
(Not to be confused with Void Cradles, which also cost 50% HP but generate void items directly instead of orbs.)

The Void Potential Chest costs 50% of the player's HP, similar to a Shrine of Blood. Instead of an item, it generates a Void Potential Orb.

Void Potential Orb
The Void Potential Orb is an object which holds 3 random unique items. Upon interacting with it, a menu labeled "Collapsing Potential Vectors" brings up item selections. Similar to the 's command essence the player can only choose one, which will transform the orb into the selected item.

The Void Potential Orb can be found as loot from the Void Potential Chest and the Encrusted Cache. It is also dropped as a reward upon completing a Cell Vent in the or a wave in Simulacrum.

The Void Potential Orb is defined by two characteristics: its color and its loot rarity distribution. While the color is not strictly tied to the rarity distribution, it is thematically linked to it. It is important to note that an orb of a certain color which is spawned by two different methods does not share the same rarity distribution, e.g., white orb from a Void Potential Chest and Simulacrum. The rarity distribution for each version of the Void Potential Orb is listed below:


 * White orb from Void Potential: same as a Small Chest.
 * Purple orb from Encrusted Cache: see.
 * White/green/red orbs from the Void Fields: only common/uncommon/legendary items respectively.
 * White/green/red/blue/purple orbs from Simulacrum: see Simulacrum rewards.

If the is enabled, Void Potential Orbs are replaced with command essence whose rarity is based on the color of the orb. This means that a white orb in Simulacrum always gives common item options only to the player. The purple orb from both the Encrusted Cache and the Simulacrum rewards have void common items only. The blue orb in Simulacrum can normally select from both items and equipment, but as a command essence it has lunar items only.
