Drill to Earth's Core is a Roblox game where you dig down through the planet's layers toward its core, and chests hold much of the loot you collect along the way. They're the main source of Cores, the currency you spend in the lobby, and of gear for each run. Knowing how they work can change how you play.

What Are the Chest Tiers in Drill to Earth's Core?
The chest tiers are Wooden, Golden, Diamond and Void. The tier decides how much a chest is worth.
How Chests Pay Out Cores
A chest's Core payout grows the deeper you go. Each layer you break adds to what the chest pays, and higher tiers climb faster. Void pays the most, and Wooden pays the least.
Cores also matter beyond a single run. Unlike Coins, which reset when a run ends, Cores stay on your account. You spend them in the lobby on classes and on chests from the shop, so every Core you earn from a chest carries over to your next run.
Where to Get Chests
You can get chests in two ways: buying them in the lobby shop, or finding them in dungeons. That's the way to pick up a specific tier, as long as the shop has it in stock.
Dungeons are where chests come to you as part of a run. You'll find them while exploring, and beating a dungeon's boss rewards you with several more.
Watch Out for Mimic Chests
Wooden chests can turn into a Mimic, and that happens when you open one. A Mimic shows eyes and teeth, then chases you while it charges and then explodes. You can't kill it, so the safe move is to get out of its way.
Which Chests Matter Most
The Void chest matters most. It has the best odds for rare items like Excalibur and King's Gear, so it's the one to aim for once you can afford it. Golden chests and better can also hold the Void Revolver, Void Shotgun and RPG, so even a Golden chest can be worth opening.
The Lucky Looter class can help you get more from every chest. Its upgrades let chests hold more items and raise your chances at legendary and mythic loot. If you find a rare piece like Excalibur, bank it at a church, since that's the only way to keep gear from one run for the next.
