Storage Containers are breakable objects appearing in all mission types and can drop pickups such as credits, ammo, resources, and even mods.
Variations
Multiple variations of storage containers can also spawn once per mission. They are different in appearance (not to be confused with holiday/event themed containers) and give out a wide range of awards, such as trinkets of credits, ammo, resources, mods, faction parts or even a Forma.
Common Storage Containers
The most common variation of all Storage Containers and the most abundant in numbers. They are most often found in large numbers of up to 7 at once inside a vacant high-value hotspot.
When broken, they typically contain only one of the following:
- A small / medium trinkets of Credits.
- A random type of ammo magazine.
- Energy Orb / Health Orb / Affinity Orb.
- Nav Coordinate.
- Resources of the respective planet.
Containers found in Treasure Rooms, side rooms and hidden compartments throughout the Orokin Void have a chance to drop a mod from the Treasure Rooms mod list.
As for now on the Cambion Drift there are Ralizor Infested Cysts which can contain common mining, fishing and general Deimos resources.
There is a small chance for the containers to not yield any items.
Uncommon Storage Containers
The second most common variation of the Storage Containers. Whilst somewhat more scarce, it still takes up a respectable portion of the Storage Containers present in the mission.
On Deimos there are Sagiant Entrati Caskets which can generally be found around Requiem Obelisks in the Cambion Drift
When broken, they typically contain several of these loot at once:
- A small/medium trinkets of Credits.
- Few random types of ammo magazines.
- Energy Orb / Health Orb / Affinity Orb.
- Nav Coordinates.
- Resources of the respective planet.
Rare Storage Containers
A rare variation of the Storage Containers, their appearance is similar to the standard storage container, but with a golden glow and a humming noise identical to that of the Sabotage Caches.
When broken, they usually contain:
- Mantis Engines (Grineer), Mantis Fuselage (Corpus), or Mantis Avionics (Orokin).
- A Detonite Injector (Grineer), Fieldron (Corpus), or Forma (Orokin).
- 80 Endo.
- A 30-minute Affinity or Credit Booster.
- Occasionally a random weapon blueprint, including Research exclusive blueprints.
- Credit quantity of around 700 to 1,200.
Each of the container variations (Grineer, Corpus, Orokin) has their own entry in the Codex.
An exeption with no humming sound but nevertheless rare resources containers gives the Spitia Infested Cyst and the Auroron Entrati Casket in the Cambion Drift on Deimos. Ladder can be found (only) in the vaults from Isolation Vault Bounties.
Reinforced Storage Containers
Reinforced containers are the rarest of the Storage Containers and have their own model, with significantly bulkier plating than the standard variants, plus the golden glow and humming sound of the rare storage container. They require more damage to break than any other container. The models also reflect this with sections breaking off as the container is damaged.
When broken, they usually contain:
- Mantis Engines (Grineer), Mantis Fuselage (Corpus), or Mantis Avionics (Orokin).
- A Detonite Injector (Grineer), Fieldron (Corpus), or Forma (Orokin).
- 80 Endo.
- A 60-minute Affinity or Credit Booster.
- Occasionally a random weapon blueprint, including certain Research-exclusive blueprints.
- Credit quantity of around 5,000 to 10,000.
Each of the container variations (Grineer, Corpus, Orokin) has their own entry in the Codex.
Forgotten Grineer Storage Containers
Forgotten Grineer Storage Containers are rare containers that look almost identical to the Rare Storage Containers with some moss growing on it. They still produce the humming sound and glow of a Rare Storage Container. They are currently only found on Earth.
When broken, they contain:
This container has its own entry in the Codex.
Resource Deposits
Resource Deposits are special containers that hold only a single type of resource. These deposits have a unique name and appearance matching the resource that they contain, and can only be found in the same areas as their associated resource. The rarity of deposits usually corresponds to the rarity of the contained resource; for example, Alloy Drums will be more common than Neural Arrays. Rare resource deposits can drop between 1 to 3 of the associated rare resource.
The various types of Resource Deposits include:
(May be located on walls and ceilings)
Each deposit has to be scanned five times to complete codex entry. (Currently, unscanned Deposits will not be shown in codex).
Farming Tips
These are based on opinions and may not be true. These should be viewed as advice unless proven undoubtedly true. Check comments for confirmation. Results may vary.
- In any given mission, there is a low chance of a single Rare Storage Container and a lower chance of a single Reinforced Storage Container spawning somewhere in the map. If one spawns, it will randomly select a vacant high-value hotspot, similar to that of a Syndicate Medallion, and spawn in it.
- Special mission types like Alerts and Syndicate missions have a higher than average chance of spawning rare and reinforced containers.
- Dark Sectors seem to have an increased chance to spawn Rare and Reinforced Containers.
- Some abilities can break containers:
Limbo's Cataclysm- Equinox Mend & Maim Cast Maim, kill enemies, cast Maim again for nuke that breaks containers.
- Chroma's Heat or Toxin Elemental Ward
- Revenant 's Danse Macabre
- Xaku's The Vast Untime can break containers at very long range.
- Carrier's exclusive mod Looter is also a good option.
- It is helpful to go into your Options menu, under the Audio Tab, and make sure your "Sound Effects Volume" is at max while all other volume controls being down. Rare Containers and Caches make a humming noise and this will make them easier to find.

Notes
- When affected by Mirage's "Sleight Of Hand" wasn't found in Module:Ability/data ability, the container will blind enemies in a radius around the container when broken, but only if the container has not already been looted.
Trivia
- Before the Boar Prime was moved into the Prime Vault, Reinforced Orokin Containers used to drop its blueprint. There was a brief time after it was moved into the Prime Vault that it still dropped from the containers.
- Darvo has a reinforced Orokin container in the back of his store.
Bugs
- Dying and reviving, after receiving boosters from the Rare Storage Containers, will remove the accumulated duration of the boosters gained from the containers.
