How to open: escalation cache (locked)

[Novashine]

How do you open: escalation cache (locked) ?

[BigKahuna]

In inventory, press the gem symbol to see your shards. There are escalation shards or whatever they called. You need to collect those to be able to open the chests.

Escalation Caches
Harbingers of Escalation enemies drop Keys of Escalation that can be used to open Escalation Caches
These chests have a 15% chance to appear in random Missions, but 2 of them are guaranteed in Seasonal Missions!
They have a good chance of containing Seasonal items among various other goodies

There seems to be something odd going on with Escalation Keys. Since I got a Void Escalation Key, the others aren't dropping. I'd opened every Escalation Chest I found until that dratted Void key dropped, since then, nothing.

I've just hit 35, so I'll update if using the Void key fixes it.

I see a LOT of caches, and i mean it. 10 missions, 8 caches. But no key drop from harbingers.
Yikes...

[Shining_Darkness]

should be able to buy keys with the shards that way people can be sure to get them even with bad RNG

Update on that, after killing no end of Harbingers and missing out on something like 20 caches, the keys started dropping once I entered the Void Crusade. Not sure if it was a coincidence or something very screwy was going on.

Yeah I got the exact same thing right now. I got a void key a while back like on level 7 and no keys dropped since.

I hope oing a crusae will unlock this shady condition cause i'm starting to get frustrated killing dozens of harbingers but having to pass on dozens of caches...

I am also having a problem with 0 keys dropping at all, am level 23

I can't be certain that correlation==causation on this, but once I did my first Void Crusade the problem seemed to fix itself. Whether it was some sort of bizarre bug, a dev hotfix or merely the Will of RNGesus I can't say.

[Bilateralrope]

I haven't done a void crusade, but the keys have started dropping for me. Maybe it's level related.

[Langerbart]

I'm in my second void crusade, no keys for approx. 25 missions. A lot of caches, though..

My friend and I aren't having any trouble with keys dropping for us. We just can't loot them. No matter how many times we click on them, they wont pick up.

check options there is a "auto loot" function, i hope it works.

Seeing 1 or 2 cache in most missions (not main missions), but never any keys, despite fully clearing all maps.
