Featured Unlock Arena Lockboxes 1.0.1

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.10 or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

This is a simple mod that allows you to unlock the Epic and Common lockboxes that came with the new 3.10.5 update.

This mod allows you to unlock the new Arena Lockboxes that do not have a current recipe within the Workshop.


Workshop Lv 2 is required just like the Rare lockboxes that have a recipe already.


To Install: Just drag and drop the folder from the zip into your main SPT folder and voila, profit!


This is my first mod so hopefully it works well for everyone. I tested this both on a fresh install and on my own current profile with success.


Any issues let me know! birbbye

  • Hey, I ve never seen you, but I love you! Take my tiny air kiss mate <3

    Happy 1

  • I want to eat your heart because you are a very pure hearted person. Thank you for this addon <3

    Happy 1

  • Thank you, works great! I had already leveled my workbench to 3 thinking they would unlock epics but still only had rares to craft.

    • I've got the same thing, copied the entire folder like the instructions say but only see the Rare or blue cases, I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if theres a bug :S

    • @T1TAN Make sure that the mod folder, which is found in the user/mods folder within the zip file, is also within the user/mods folder in your main spt install folder.


      Let me know if that works out

  • Nice, I was really stuck on those damn crates. Thought I might need Workbench 3 for the epic ones, but after that not working out and also finding "common" ones I finally did some research and found this. Works like a charm.

    Did you have to create the recipes, or was it only necessary to unlock them? I guess the reward pools for opening the crates where already in game?

    • Reward pools were already there, I did "create" the recipes however I just used the same exact ones as the Rare boxes since it made the most sense to me. I could've made it require more but eh, this doesn't have to be something that needs extra, you're already at WS Lv 2 to open em..:)

  • I was wondering if it would be possible to get the category ID for the locked and unlocked boxes. I tried blacklisting all of the boxes from being listed on flea, but wasn't successful with doing it with their item IDs on SP-Tarkov Item Search.

    I did everything correct in the config for The Blacklist, but can still list them on the flea for any amount of money, and they will sell. Here is what I tried in the config.


    My next attack is trying to blacklist the item category as a whole. Can you help?

    • Parent category is 590c745b86f7743cc433c5f2 which is also on the Item Search site. I believe that'd be what you need to use to blacklist them.

  • I've been playing with this mod installed for several hours ( around 9 hours over two nights. ) And I haven't seen a single locked case. And trust me I'm looking. Not to give away every place.. but can I get a single spawn point (One someone knows 100% they found one at.) I can check a few times to make sure it's even working for me? I am on 3.10.5. Knowing my luck I probably saw one.. and walked right past it.

    • Having the same problem.

    • You will have definitely walked passed them I'm sure of it. They are very hard to find unfortunately because of how completely innocuous they look in the game environment. Sorry it's been so unlucky for you, I know how you feel though, I haven't found one since making the mod lol.


      And just in case, no my mod does not touch spawning of those items whatsoever!

    • ok. But just to be clear.. I would assume there is a reasonably equal chance for them to spawn in all maps? Like there's no more of a chance to spawn one in factory, than there is say interchange or Streets?

      There's no type of spawn nodes that have a better percentage chance of spawning one? IE: like a closet in streets, or supply truck in underground parking on ground zero?

      Pretty much it's in the "general loot pool" But not a specific spot/map.

    • https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Locked_case Here's some info that may help, I'm not sure about the chance for them to spawn percentage wise, but they spawn on all maps for sure.

    • I think I may be having a mod conflict.. with "lots of loot" or SVM settings. Cause I found the same link.. and I still hadn't found one. lol I'm a mess around with a fresh SPT and see what I find.

  • Hello, I only have the recipe to open rare containers, where are they to open common, epic containers ?

    • Did you install the mod in the User/Mods folder in your SPT Install?


      Do you have a mod that adds anything or overwrites the Workbench in the Hideout?

    • I have everything installed correctly but I only see the rare ones, no other

    • They're not in the same spot as the Rare ones just fyi, they're further down, I have no control where they show up.

    • Thanks for awswering me but i only have the recippe for the rare one. i dont know why the recipes fot the common and epic one dont appear

    • I have two TS type files, is that correct ?

  • so does this give us the great plan Walter quest or just give us the unlocks? I haven't seen a recipe for the contraband or sealed packages yet?

    • This mod only provides the recipes. The Walter quest is not initiated by this mod.

    • understood so still waiting on that mod or an update. cheers thank you a lot got it installed

    • The walter quest was added in the latest SPT release

    • hu thats weird I'm running 3.10.3 I thought that was the newest version and the quest isn't there. is it level locked?

    • update: I figured it out and realized we were a version behind thank you for your help

  • Where do you find the locked containers? Everything else works, just cant find them.

    • They are in the world, and occasionally on bosses/scavs/pmcs. They are VERY easy to miss, but they do load on most maps (not 100% chance, it's pretty low). They look like their icon, and are about the size of two pineapple drinks side by side within the game world.

    • iv been finding locked containers mainly on factory

    • Yeah I've been finding them now. Pretty sure lots of loot redux was the issue.

  • Tell me why I can't add my recipe to the game? I follow all the necessary requirements, change the recipe ID, add a couple of items, but when loading the game, the menu freezes in an eternal loading. I can't figure out what the problem is.

    • It would be best to go into the Mod Development discord and ask your questions there on what you're trying to do. That's where I got a lot of help from.

  • Where do the blue and purple boxes spawn though? I've seen the locked container but no others.

    • They come from opening Locked Containers that contain Sealed Packages which you then unlock, both at the workshop and after doing the quest https://escapefromtarkov.fando…%99s_a_Great_Plan,_Walter

    • Oh so you unlock a grey container to get either a blue or a purple, which you then unlock to get stuff?

    • You unlock the base Locked Case, then a Sealed Container comes from it, which then you unlock once again (or rip open I suppose) and out pop the Arena cases, you can get all the rarities of case too.


      All three steps are at the Workbench
