How to Open The Locked Abiotic Factor Crates

Our guide tells you how to open locked Crates in Abiotic Factor and what sort of loot you can expect to find inside these tantalizing treasure chests.

There are plenty of resources to find in Abiotic Factor throughout the map, but you can't get to everything right away. In fact, some of the best items are sealed away in locked crates. We'll tell you how to open these crates and what you can find inside — read on to learn more!

How Locked Crates Work

Locked Crates are unlike other pieces of furniture in the game. At first, they cannot be destroyed or dismantled in any way. You'll have to open them first by using the appropriate key for each type of Crate.

Once opened, a Crate can be looted; each Crate has a unique set of items that you often can't acquire elsewhere. You can then Package the Crate like any other piece of furniture and take it back to your base.

How to Open Locked Crates in Abiotic Factor

Here's how to open each of the Locked Crates in Abiotic Factor!

How to Open Cacophonus Crate

You can open a Cacophonus Crate with a Porcelain Key. Porcelain Keys can be acquired by killing a Symphonist, although they are not a guaranteed drop — you may have to kill several Symphonists to get one.

The Cacophonus Crate only has a few items inside: a Fog Lantern Trinket (which reduces Stamina drain during the Fog Weather Event, the Porcelain Shards crafting resource, and possibly an Organ. It seems that the Organ is not a guaranteed drop.

Aside from the Fog Lantern Trinket, the items in this crate are used to craft the Maestro armor set.

How to Open GATE Security Crate

You can open the GATE Security Crate by trading a Nyxshade Seed to Warren in the Offices Sector Plaza.

Crafting a Nyxshade Seed requires the following:

• 10 Night Essence
• 5 Leyak Essence
• 1 Anteverse Wheat Seed
• 1 Enethiol

Naturally, you can get Leyak Essence by killing Leyaks. Night Essence can be acquired by fighting the IS-0059 Reaper in the Security Sector or fishing for Inkfish in The Night Realm. Anteverse Wheat and Enethiol can be found throughout the GATE Facility and in multiple Portal Worlds.

The GATE Security Crate guarantees the Night Pass Trinket, an item that will let you walk past Security Bots without getting attacked. You will also find a Light Gun Repair Kit, a Security Pistol, and two pieces of Security Armor at the minimum.

How to Open Ornate Crate

You can open the Ornate Crate by using an Ornate Key. Ornate Keys are dropped by killing Order Captains, the soldiers who wear a red beret. It appears that there is roughly a 1 in 10 chance of getting an Ornate Key by killing a Captain.

The signature item of the Ornate Crate is the Sigil of the Hearth Trinket, an item that increases movement speed while in combat by 10%. It also increases the amount of ammo dropped by Order enemies.

Trinket aside, the Ornate Crate can contain a variety of ammunition for guns. Critically, it can also hold one or more Light Gun Repair Kits which are one of the only ways that you can repair a gun.
