Lootboxes, chests full of loot, are found throughout Jupiter Hell. They can be the major source of good equipment and generally should always be opened.
Lootboxes can be opened by bumping into them, which will drop their contents on the floor around them. They cannot be destroyed, or opened any other way, and they continue to block movement even after being opened. They appear as a white icon on the minimap.
After all enemies have been cleared from a level, lootboxes you have not yet found show up as a white outline in the darkness.
Lootboxes come in 6 colours with different types of drops. They also have a "tier" from 1-3 but this is not visible in game.
