Reward Boxes
Overview
Reward Boxes are the primary way players receive loot from meta activities in the wasteland. Instead of being given items directly after completing an event or challenge, you receive a Reward Box that appears in your Challenges window. You can preview what each box might contain, then redeem it at your convenience — but only while in a safe location. Reward Boxes come in many tiers and types, with higher-tier boxes offering better gear, rarer mods, and a tiny chance at implants.
How Reward Boxes Work
Reward Boxes are not physical items in your inventory. They are virtual containers stored in your Challenges log. Each box has a predefined loot table — a list of possible items with drop chances. When you redeem a box, the server rolls for every item on its table independently: guaranteed items always appear, while others have a percentage chance. Items from "One of" groups give you a random pick from that group.
The quality of gear inside (Crafted vs. Prewar) is fixed per box type. Higher-tier boxes use Prewar quality, which means better base stats.
Reward Rarity Labels
When previewing a box, each possible drop is labelled with a rarity tier based on its drop chance:
| Label | Drop Chance |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed | 100% |
| Very High | 80% or more |
| High | 50% or more |
| Medium | 25% or more |
| Low | 10% or more |
| Very Low | 3% or more |
| Rare | 0.1% or more |
| Very Rare | less than 0.1% |
How to Preview a Reward Box
- Press J to open the Journal window.
- Look at the Rewards grid at the bottom of the window — your pending Reward Boxes appear there as icons.
- Right-click any Reward Box icon to see its full loot table.
- A popup will list every possible item the box can drop, along with its quantity range and rarity label (color-coded).
- Items grouped under "One of:" mean you will receive one random item from that group.
How to Redeem Reward Boxes
- Press J to open the Challenges window.
- All your pending Reward Boxes are shown in the Rewards grid.
- Click the "Collect Rewards" button at the bottom right.
- All boxes are opened at once — each item that passes its roll is added directly to your inventory.
- A message confirms how many items you received and from which source.
The Challenges window also shows the source of each reward (e.g. "Town Control", "Event", "Job", "Tournament 1st"), so you always know where your loot came from.
