Strongbox of the Winner

 




Since 2018, players on the Smugglers Paradise P2P server have been able to purchase the "Strongbox of the Winner" for  €1 each. These chests are packed with unique cosmetic rewards that enhance your PvP experience by adding personalized kill animations and effects.

The core feature is the Carnifex kill animations, which trigger every time you defeat an opponent in PvP. The basic animation is tailored to your character’s class, while additional animations, regardless of class, offer a variety of striking visuals. There are also three distinct types of wings that appear on your back after a kill, along with other stunning effects like halos, flames engulfing your character, and even a customizable chat message you can send each time you score a kill.

Beyond the animations, you can also unlock special cosmetic items such as a character shell or a weapon skin, all designed to personalize your appearance without affecting gameplay. Everything from the chest is purely cosmetic, allowing you to stand out in the battlefield with your own unique style.



The "Strongbox of the Winner" doesn’t have a fixed release schedule in the shop, and its availability has become increasingly rare in recent years. Looking at the history, the chest has been released on the following dates:

26.12.2018

15.03.2019

19.12.2019

05.03.2020

10.04.2020

08.05.2020

01.01.2021

11.05.2021

01.12.2021

16.12.2022

20.04.2023

01.12.2023

13.09.2024

As you can see, while it used to be available more frequently, the intervals between releases have grown longer.

Tip

If you still have a "Lost Chapter of the Carnifex Code" and its 180-day duration is about to expire, don't worry! You can extend its lifespan. Simply right-click on the "Lost Chapter" to exchange it for "Fragments of the Carnifex Code" and then convert the fragments back into a "Lost Chapter". This resets the duration, giving you another 180 days while you wait for the next event!





This is the newest Carnifex: Staggering Speech of the Carnifex (200 Lost Chapter) (13.09.2024), but you need to purchase first Carnifex Code (250 Lost Chapter)

Also new this time is the Aura: Bloody Confession of the Carnifex (200 Lost Chapter), but you need to get first the Confession of the Carnifex (200 Lost Chapter)

If you kill three characters in a row without dying, you will gain the following effect: All your allies within a 10-yard radius will gain a blue flaming aura.

And my personal highlight are new wings when you kill somebody: Blood Crow's Wings (250 Lost Chapter)






The new Shell this time is called  "BlackThorn" (80 Lost Chapter)

And there is a new Weapon Skin: Holy Weapon of the Overlord for 200 Fragments of Carnifex Code

(Well it's not new, we had that already!! It's disappointing, indeed. It's frustrating that P2P players are still missing out on so many weapon skins that are readily available on F2P servers. The imbalance in cosmetic content, especially with so many unique skins locked away from P2P. Hopefully, they address this gap in future updates!)




You can get all the cosmetic items as an instant drop from the Strongbox of the Winner, but if luck isn’t on your side, you'll need to use Lost Chapters or Fragments of the Carnifex Code to purchase them.

These Items you can purchase with Fragments of the Carnifex Code
