Interacting with Boxes

Finding a Lootable Box

Lootable boxes are placed throughout the game world by server admins. They appear as physical props — crates, safes, or shipping containers.

Walk close to a box (within the server's configured interaction distance, default 5 meters).

Interaction Prompt

When close enough, you'll see a prompt to interact with the box. Press E to start.

Requirements Check

Before the minigame starts, the server checks if you meet the requirements:

  1. Required items — You may need specific tools (e.g., a lockpick, crowbar). If removeRequiredItems is enabled, these are consumed on use
  2. Required weapons — You may need to be holding a specific weapon
  3. Police count — A minimum number of police officers may need to be online

If you don't meet a requirement, you'll see an error message explaining what's missing.

Opening the Box

If all requirements are met, the minigame starts. Each box type has a different minigame — see Minigames.

Collecting Loot

After completing the minigame:

  1. Loot items spawn as 3D props near the box
  2. Walk up to each prop and press E to pick it up
  3. The item is added to your inventory
  4. A notification appears showing what you received (if enabled by the server)

Cooldowns

  • After opening a box, there's a short cooldown before you can interact again
  • After picking up each item, there's a brief delay before picking up the next
  • Once all items are collected, the box enters its reset timer — it becomes lootable again after the configured time

Already Looted

If someone else has already looted a box, you'll see a cooldown message with the remaining time until it resets (if enabled by the server).
