Cloaked Chest

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

• Cloaked Chests get locked while the Teleporter is charging, so try to spot them at this point.
• Keep an eye out for the "Open Cloaked Chest" prompt that appears when walking near the chest.
• Cloaked Chests can be scanned using the Radar Scanner45sRadar Scanner
  Reveal all nearby interactables.
  Reveal all interactables within 500m for 10 seconds..

The item chances are the same as for a Small Chest.

Drop Chance Bias

When a chest can drop an item from multiple rarities, in order for the game to choose the loot, it does not actually choose a rarity first and then an item within that rarity. Instead, it puts all available items in a weighted list, with each item of a rarity having the weight of the rarity category. This creates a bias towards rarities with more items. For example, for a Large Chest there are 30 uncommon and 26 legendary available drops. This means the weighted list will have 56 items and the chances of getting an uncommon drop are $(.8 * 30) / (.8 * 30 + .2 * 26) = 82.1\%$.

This behaviour affects all Chests (with the exception of the Crashed Multishop Delivery), Scavenger's Backpack, Shrines of Chance, Void Cradles, Void Potentials, the drops from the Artifact of Sacrifice, and the wave rewards in Simulacrum.

In most cases the actual rarity chances do not differ very much from the expected values, because the number of items within the common, uncommon, legendary, and equipment categories are proportionally fairly similar. Exceptions to this include:

• The Small Healing Chest has (7/4/4) available drops.
• Any Chest or Simulacrum wave reward with void rarity, as there are (5/6/2) available drops.
• Any Simulacrum wave reward that has legendary and boss drops competing.
