About chests

Can you somehow open then faster, or do you always have to watch that mini gambling animation?

Also can you influence somehow whether you get one or more upgrades at once?

As soon as you press the "Open" button, press SPACEBAR or RIGHT CLICK and it will skip the "slot reels" animation and just show you what you found.

Increasing your Luck stat influences many things- among them is your chances to get multiple items in a chest. You can get 1, 3, or 5 items out of a chest. I almost always take the Clover as soon as I can in any run because of this; most runs end with me at 100% Luck.

Another really important thing that Luck affects: the number of choices you get when you level up. Normally you only get 3 choices of weapons/support items, but there is a chance (based on Luck stat) that you will get 4 choices. More options = more power. Luck is supreme in this game, many weapons scale with it.

Note that, last I checked, while the various buttons to skip the chest animation work if the chest is going to give you 1 or 3 items, for some reason if it's going to give you 5 items you actually can't skip it. It's possible this has changed, of course.

5 chests are still unskippable for me. Personally I wouldn't mind it... except for 5-item chests whenever I am max build and they only give money. I wish I could skip those.

I love-hate 5-item chests. The long and boring animation really breaks my rhythm.

Wonder why the 5-item animation isn't skippable?

esc doesn't work. I've asked about this before: why can't we just have a "skip animation" checkbox in the menu?
