Chests

Chests are a very common type of reward in Iron Rage. Most common chests include troops, resources, manuals, collection items (which can be traded for resources in your journal), equipment components, and research items; some rarer chests also include valuable items like gold, resonators, flywheels, or items used to obtain new heroes.

250 gold

Chests can be obtained in different ways:

* As a reward for completing missions
* For gold in the chest shop
* As a reward for defeating a convoy
* As a reward for completing quests
* During special events

Information about chests in the pages below is displayed in a special infobox; an example such infobox is shown at right. This includes the name, picture, and description of the chest, as well as some information about the type of the chest. If the chest can be bought in the chest shop for gold, that is also indicated.

The types of chests, as shown in the infobox, are as follows:

* Most chests in the game are *Standard*. This means that they are placed into your normal chests queue, and require some amount of time to open. (However, some chests, such as the example here, open instantly, so you can open them as soon as they reach the front of your queue.) You can have two chests in the process of being opened at a time, and can buy additional opening slots for Kreds. There are also two types of standard chests: those with a "normal" queue position will be placed at the back of your queue when you get them, while those with a "priority" queue position will be placed at the front of the queue (but behind any other "priority" chests that might already be there).
* *Key* chests are also very common in the game. These chests have their own queue separate from standard chests. These chests are not timed, but require a number of keys to open. Keys can be obtained through other chests, as rewards, or can be purchased from the chest screen. The three types of key chests are special chests, elite chests, and legendary chests, which take 5, 25, and 50 keys to open, respectively. As a special offer, you can purchase (for Kreds) the burglar, who allows you to open key chests using only time.
* There are also a few chests that don't fall into either of these categories, such as air drop chests and PvP rating chests, which don't go into any queue but always open immediately, and Grotto chests, which have their own separate opening area in the grotto.

### Normal chests

These chests are by far the most common, and can be obtained as a possible reward for nearly every kind of mission. They can also be purchased in the chest shop for gold (except for the training chest).

* Training chest
* Ordinary chest
* Rare chest
* Special chest
* Elite chest
* Legendary chest

### Specialty chests

These chests contain specific items; the Support Chest contains various support items, while the Trophy Chest contains research items (a.k.a. trophies). There are also chests that contain specific research items for each branch. They can be purchased in the chest shop with gold and occasionally show up as quest or convoy rewards.

* Support Chest
* Trophy Chest
* Mechanical Chest
* Genetic Chest
* Tesla Chest
* Occult Chest

### Convoy chests

Convoy chests, as the name suggests, are obtained by defeating convoys. Regular and faction world convoys drop a number of chests depending on difficulty (2, 3, or 4 chests for Recruit, Fighter, or Veteran), while clan convoys always drop 2 chests, but with the quality increasing depending on difficulty.

* Regular convoys
	+ "Black Widow" cargo
	+ Cache of "Doomerville"
	+ Cargo "Charon"
	+ "Destroyer" Black box
	+ "Spider" cargo
* Faction convoys
	+ Forgotten Legion cargo
	+ New Order cargo
	+ Red Monarchy cargo
* Clan convoys
Although there are five different types of each of these chests, one for each convoy ("Doom Hammer", "Warrington", "Genofrost", "Warrior", and "Wrath of God"), the contents of all five are the same, so they are combined into one entry here.
	+ Clan convoy regular cargo
	+ Clan convoy rare cargo
	+ Clan convoy special cargo
	+ Clan convoy elite cargo
	+ Clan convoy legendary cargo

Your journal has this to say about chests:
*For years, resistance fought the guerrilla war, methodically and regularly destroying one Dominion patrol after another, raiding food convoys and organizing sabotage in factories and warehouses. Thus, each raid struck not only on the Dominion's armed forces, but also on its welfare. In each successful raid, our fighters extracted the Chests with valuable materials, which the Resistance needed so much. Experience of guerrilla warfare shows that the chests can contain: Resources, Reagents, Elements of collections, Manuals, Keys, Gold, City plans, Craft items. With the capture of Osterberg nothing has changed: if we want to develop, we need to intercept as many chests from the enemy as possible, this will make us stronger, and the enemy weaker.*
