Gray box

Gray boxes are loot containers added by the Anomaly DLC. They are only found within the Labyrinth and eject its contents nearby when activated.

Summary[edit]

Gray boxes are found exclusively within the Labyrinth housed within a Warped obelisk. Two are guaranteed to spawn within the final room of the maze, with other rooms containing between 1-9^[Verify] opened or unopened boxes. Gray boxes cannot be destroyed.

As a loot container, the gray box can be opened by any pawn capable of manipulation, excluding ghouls. Opening the container can be done either by selecting pawns or by selecting the container:

With one or several pawns selected, right-clicking on the container shows an Open action in the context menu. Selecting it sends the pawns to the container where one of them will open it. This works whether pawns are drafted or not. Ghouls ignore the command and do not move with the others, even when drafted.
Alternatively, selecting the container shows an Open command with shortcut J. Once the container is marked for opening, it will be opened by any suitable pawn assigned to Basic work. Selecting a pawn and right-clicking on the container will only work if the pawn is drafted or assigned to Basic work.
Note that the Open command in the Orders menu does not apply to loot containers.

Opening a loot container takes 100 ticks (1.67 secs). The contents are dropped next to the container and the container's texture is changed to its empty variant.

Loot[edit]

There are two types of gray boxes with different loot pools, which spawn in different conditions:

Obelisk room: always contains 2 high value boxes.
Room containing a single gray box: always high value.
Room containing a single unopened gray box and up to 5 empty ones: always high value.
Room containing multiple unopened gray boxes: always contains exactly two high value boxes. The rest are either empty or low value.
