Chests

Chests are Interactibles that are scattered throughout every Environment (excluding the Bazaar Between Time and A Moment, Fractured) at random. Chests contain Items that must be purchased with Gold.

Small Chest
The basic Chest variant, a Small Chest costs half as much as a Large Chest, and has a chance to contain either a Common, Uncommon or Legendary item.

Item chances:
 * Common = 79.2%
 * Uncommon = 19.8%
 * Legendary = 0.99%

Large Chest
Large Chests cost double the amount of a regular Chest and are more rare, but they contain an item of at least Uncommon rarity, and have an increased chance to hold a Legendary item.

Item chances:
 * Common = 0%
 * Uncommon = 80%
 * Legendary = 20%

Legendary Chest
The Legendary Chest is an expensive chest that when opened gives the player a legendary item. It can only be found starting from the 4th stage onward, and natural generation is extremely rare.

There is one guaranteed spawn location in Abyssal Depths, nearby a small, yellow, glowing column, in a small cave full of foliage partially covered by a rock, ground-level, near the center of the map.

Multishop Terminal
The Multishop Terminal is an Interactible. It features a choice out of three Items for you to buy, costing the same as either a Small Chest or a Large Chest, depending on the rarity. After buying one Item the other items are locked and cannot be obtained from this Terminal anymore. A Question Mark indicates that the item in the corresponding slot will be a random item of that rarity.

Multishop Terminals can come in a Common variety (three common items) or an Uncommon variety (three uncommon items), the latter of which only appears on the 2nd and 4th sets of Environments. There’s also Equipment Multistop Terminals that only appear on Scorched Acres and Sky Meadow. A Legendary Multishop Terminal does not exist.

Category Chest
A Category Chest is an Interactible that was added in the Scorched Acres Update. Category Chests cost 20% more than normal Chests and can come in three varieties: Damage, Healing, and Utility. Damage Category Chests contain Damage-based items, and so forth.


 * Damage Chests are red, with a symbol of three bullets side-by-side emblazoned on top.
 * Healing Chests are dark green, with a symbol of a white cross on top.
 * Utility Chests are purple, with a symbol of what appears to be a "C" with a smaller circle inside it.

Adaptive Chest
The Adaptive Chest is a new chest added in the Hidden Realms update.

The Adaptive Chest appears to be a box with a small cylinder sticking out from the center. It costs ~1.5 times the amount of gold required to open a standard Small Chest, and can only spawn from stage 4 onwards. Upon activation, the center portion raises up to reveal a small compartment, in which it begins to cycle through a variety of items at an accelerating rate. Any item can appear in this cycle, including legendary items and equipment at around the same frequency as a small chest. Activating it again will drop the item currently shown in the cycle. Allowing it to cycle for a long enough period of time will force it to spit out a random item instead of allowing you to choose.

Rusty Lockbox
The Rusty Lockbox is an Interactible that only spawns when a Survivor holds the Common item Rusted Key. It does not cost Gold to open.

Prior to the Hidden Realms Update, the Rusty Lockbox was originally hard to spot due to its relatively small size, but it is now easier to spot thanks to being made both 50% larger and shinier.


 * It is easier to find a Rusty Lockbox while the Teleporter is being charged, because they get locked with orange tendrils like other types of storage as well.
 * At least one survivor in the party must possess a Rusty Key for it to spawn, but a key is not required to open the Rusty Lockbox.
 * With enough Rusted Keys, the Rusty Lockbox may consistently provide a Legendary item.

Cloaked Chest
A Cloaked Chest is an invisible Interactible that can be found in all Environments. In contrast to other chests, this one does not have to be purchased. However, it is very difficult to see: It is completely transparent, only slightly distorting the background.


 * Cloaked Chests get locked while the teleporter is getting charged, so try to spot them at this point.
 * Keep an eye out for the "Open Cloaked Chest" prompt that appears when you walk by one.
 * It is possible to scan cloaked chests using the Radar Scanner Equipment.

Equipment Barrel
The Equipment Barrel is an Interactible that can appear in the Environment. Equipment Barrels contain Equipment items, and can be opened by spending Gold on them. They are equal in price to a Small Chest.

Equipment Triple Shop
Similar to a multishop terminal, but has Equipment instead.

Trivia

 * As the choices for a Multishop Terminal are completely random, it is possible to have three of the same item appear.
 * Prior to the Hidden Realms Update, it was completely possible to have all three choices be Question Marks.
 * Legendary Chests and Adaptive Chests have collision, unlike all other kinds of chests
