Chests Types

Two distinct chest types appear throughout London, each offering different rewards and requiring varying levels of effort to access.

Regular Chests

Standard wooden chests found throughout the city boroughs containing basic crafting materials, small amounts of money, and common consumables. These chests require no special skills to open and provide steady resource income for ongoing equipment maintenance and basic upgrades.

Advanced Chests

Reinforced metal chests secured with complex locks that demand higher lockpicking skill levels to access. Advanced chests contain rare crafting materials, larger monetary rewards, and exclusive upgrade components unavailable from regular containers, making them priority targets for serious collectors.
