If you take the time to loot each container, you’ll acquire rare weapons — ranged, melee, and more — and various high-end loot, including consumables and trade items.
What Can You Find in Rare Weapon Cases?
Upon tracking down any one of the rare weapon cases in Providence Ridge, players will ultimately rely on RNG in the hopes of looting something high-end. These crates include rare melee weapons, like the Replica Bastard Sword, and late-game firearms, like the Prepper’s AK-47.
Each of the rare, named weapons found in the weapon cases is unique in some way. They feature upgrades and attachments not found anywhere else in the game, for example.
Alternatively, players may wind up with a dud crate that includes nothing more than a subpar melee weapon and a few tradable items. It’s a bummer, but it happens.
