Containers are the main source of items in Eternal Return.
They are found in all shapes and sizes scattered throughout Lumia Island and contain a wide variety of components and gear necessary to enhance a character's capabilities.
Standard Containers[]
Standard containers are containers that are littered all over the island. Things like garbage cans, vending machines, boxes, barrels, and cars, etc. are all standard containers. All types of standard containers hold 8 items.
Each area has a different set of items can be looted from it. The list of items can be found in each area's page: Locations

Air supplies are dropped in random locations through the match in various stages. They come in 3 colors, corresponding to the rarity of the item inside. Opening one of these boxes costs 5 SP.

Corpses[]
Neutral enemies (wild animals and androids) that have been defeated will leave a corpse that can be looted like a container. If multiple corpses are within a 2.5m radius of each other, their loot will be grouped up into one window for convenience.
Players turn into player corpses when they are killed after being downed and contain most of the items that player was carrying, including what they had equipped. Certain items, such as Legendary or Mythic equipment, won't appear and will instead be converted into a Reward consumable that grants credits on use. Only half of items such as food, beverages, and vision items that the player was carrying will be collectable, with the number rounded down. (For example, if the player had 5 items, only 2 will be lootable. In other words, 3 items will remain untouched.)
Corpses will persist through the entire match or until the player is revived.
