Chests

## Introduction

Chests were introduced to Evo Wars in v2.7.0 and serve as a method to obtain items from the collection tab (e.g. Mounts, taunts, etc.). There are a variety of ways of obtaining chests, some more efficient than others. In total, currently there are 6 unique chests, 5 regular chests and one Weapons Chest, each offering different chances for different tiered items. Previously, there was a Wooden Chest but was refunded back in gold to players after the addition of the Weapons Chest.

## How to obtain

There are a 3 main methods of obtaining chests;

 Buying them with money, earning them through mini quests (not to be confused with Quests)) or by participating in games. Here are the methods ranked most to least effective

1. **Games**
2. **Mini Quests**
3. **Purchasing Chests**

## Chest Tiers

These are all a brief description of the chest types available. For a more in-depth description and percentages, please view Tiers.

### Iron Chests

Iron Chests are the most basic chest in-game, replacing the previous wooden chest after the weapons chest was introduced. As a result, they only offer 2 items.

They are rewarded every time you participate in any game, if you finish below the top 4, making it by far the easiest to obtain for new players.You can also purchase this chest through the shop found in the collection for 2,500 coins or be rewarded this through mini-questions in your profile such as killing 200 players or dying 200 times

### Silver Chests

Silver Chests are a step up from Iron Chests as they offer 3 items and higher chances for better items. They are rewarded every time you get 4th place in any game. They cost 4,300 coins
per chest and can also be received from completing tasks in the profile tab.

It is generally not advisable to purchase these chests as they are more expensive per item than Iron Chests and don’t offer much of a higher percentage for epic and legendary items.

### Gold Chests

Gold chests can be earned when you place 3rd in games are offer 4 whole items. They cost 6,800 coins and can also be earned each time you play 5 games or win 3 team games.

Like the Silver Chests before it, you shouldn’t buy these chests , but, if you are able to consistently score 3rd place, Gold Chests can be an effective way to max out items for gems [see Gems].

### Diamond Chests

Diamond Chests are the arguably 3rd best chests in the game, after Champion Chests and Weapon Chests costing, 10,000 coins each. They are earned from placing 2nd in games and provide 5 items every chest. They can also be acquired from triple kills, though, not as practical.

Unless you have been playing Evo Wars for while already, you shouldn’t buy this. But, if you have been playing for a bit, Diamond Chests can be quite useful as they can bought if you wish to obtain legendary items, being cheaper per legendary weapon than Champion Chests.

### Champion Chests

Champion Chests are the second final\*, and best regular\*\* chests although it is debatable whether it is the best overall when compared to the weapons chest, costing 20,000 coins each. They provide 6 items per chest and are earnt by placing 1st in games.

If you are able obtain a mass of Champion Chests through games, they are the most effective at providing items, with an improved chance for legendary than Diamond Chests. They can also be used as a way to show off. But, it is not recommended to purchase these chests as they are much more expensive.

\*They are the second final chest with the Weapons Chest being the last added
\*\*It is debatable whether it is the best chest overall but it is the best regular chest

### Weapon Chests

Weapon Chests are the final and latest chest to be introduced to Evo Wars and cost 25 gems instead of the usual coins. Also, instead of providing items, Weapon Chests provide one single alternative weapon. They are only rewarded when you achieve 10 Megavolutions or when purchased through gems.

Weapon Chests have no other purpose aside from providing alternative weapons. For more information, see Weapons and Gems
