Loot Boxes are generally distributed to crawlers by the System AI as rewards for earning Achievements. The type of loot box a crawler receives is tailored to the achievement, and the semi-randomly generated loot is influenced by the box's type. Special boxes may be ordered by the crawler's Sponsors.

Loot Box Tiers
There are six tiers of Loot Boxes. Lower tier loot boxes contain common or unenchanted items, whereas higher tier boxes contain more powerful and rare loot. The tiers are (from lowest to highest):[1]
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Legendary
- Celestial
Celestial Boxes
The host company pays taxes to the Syndicate on the tier of every non-sponsored box distributed in game. As a result, only 2,145 Celestial Boxes of any kind have been awarded in the history of Dungeon Crawler World. No crawler has ever received more than four Celestial Boxes, and no more than (18) have been distributed during a single season.[2]

Benefactor Boxes
Benefactor Boxes are purchased at great expense by a crawler's patrons/sponsors, with the cost increasing with the box's tier. They often contain stronger equipment and items, and may include items from the sponsor's homeworld or other items or equipment that do not match the Dungeon's theme. As a result, a Bronze Benefactor Box is generally better than a Gold Adventurer Box.[1]
Loot
Loot is "semi-random" in that it may be genuinely random, or the System AI may have specifically chosen it to help or hurt the crawler for the sake of ratings.[3] The crawler may also receive loot can be used by their race but not by their class; so a barbarian may end up with a necromancer's staff.[4] All loot gained from Loot Boxes (with the exception of Benefactor Boxes) will fit the Dungeon's setting, so no one in Borant Corporation's fantasy-themed dungeon will find "a pulse rifle or automated power armor" when opening one.[1]
Loot Boxes may contain unstable or damaged loot, but will never contain outright cursed loot; still, some items may be dangerous or harmful for the crawler.[5] As Mordecai emphasizes, "Always read the descriptions before you activate or wear something. Always, always. No exceptions."[6]
Opening Loot Boxes
After completing the Tutorial in a Tutorial Guild Hall, crawlers can access unopened Loot Boxes through the "Awards and Boxes" tab of their Inventory.[7] Unopened boxes cannot be sold or transferred.[5]
Loot Boxes can only be opened in Safe Rooms and must be opened all at once; the crawler cannot pick and choose boxes, or stop before all boxes are opened. The boxes float out of the crawler's inventory and line up in front of the crawler by tier, from Bronze to Celestial, before opening one by one: the top pops open, the box disappears in a puff of smoke, and the items appear on the ground before automatically transferring into the Crawler's inventory.[5]
