Forum:The Awesome Box

The Awesome Box
There is at least one instance of a particularly special Red chest very early on in the Vault Hunters' treks through Pandora. Now, don't get me wrong, every Red chest holds very dear to a Hunter, whether it be finding that Class mod you've needed to boost your Riotous Remedy beyond feasable means, or maybe a particular rocket launcher that you adore making the Bandits go to pieces over. This box, The "Awesome Box" as I have dubbed it, goes beyond these limits and gives the players something to look forward to.

The Awesome Box, or quite possibly the first of the Awesome Boxes, is located in the Arid Badlands (map location will be placed when available). When you near the end of the search for the Journals of Patricia Tannis, you'll come upon a complex maze of bridges and ramps nearby the Circle of Death. At this area, you'll notice three huts, one on each level of the complex. Fighting off the baddies along the way, the lower hut contains little but a few lockers and an ammo create, the middle contains a few more lockers, but the highest of these huts contains, lo and behold, a Red chest! I first found this chest at lvl 15 with Brick, satisfied with finding it. What I didn't expect is what I found inside: a lvl 29 Rocket Launcher! "Good lord! This is Awesome!" I was estatic, the huge jump from lvl 13 crap to something I couldn't wait to use! I didn't think much of it....until....

Later on, my roommate started a Siren character, and again we were searching for Journals. We came upon this area again and I wondered "Maybe I should check that box again." Instead, my roommate found the box before me (leaving me crippled for a short while >_<). To my surprise, he gasped "Holy Crap! There's a lvl 27 combat rifle and class mod in here!" I went on (after dying from his lack of care) to test the theory.

I went back numerous times, in playthrough 1 and playthrough 2, to "The Awesome Box", and with each time of opening it, the box seemed to spawn items that were at least 10 levels higher than the baddies guarding it. In Playthrough 1, they averaged between lvl 24-32. In Playthrough 2, the number jumped to 34-44 (from what I've found thus far). Though I have yet to return to the Awesome Box since entering Playthrough 2.5, my findings were clear: This box is indeed awesome.

My question at this point is though, has anyone else found a box this awesome anywhere else in Pandora? I'm only playing Xbox360, but perhaps the same holds true for PC. Any postings on this would help the little Hunters find some treats to look forward to!
