Lost Pack
| “ | If you see some lost gear scattered around the place, try to find a blinking helmet. Use that to download the location of the lost dwarf’s backpack and track it down using your Terrain Scanner. They are always full of pickaxe parts and precious minerals. |
| — Update 29 Patch notes |
A Lost Pack can spawn inside of normal missions. A helmet will give away its location with a beeping noise; once activated the Terrain Scanner tool will update and reveal a pocket of terrain underneath the ground as a pink star far away. Once the location is known, you will need to dig into the cave wall to access a small cavity full of crafting materials and a lost pack which will contain a claimable cosmetic reward.
Spawning
A Lost Pack spawns randomly, with chances based on mission scale - a hidden value set for each combination of mission type and cave complexity. Whether or not a mission has a Lost Pack is decided during cave generation (load screen). Only one Lost Pack can spawn in each mission.

Rewards
Once found, a Lost Pack will offer a special Armor Paintjob, Pickaxe Customization part or a APD-B317 "Bosco" Framework or Paintjob. Each dwarf has to interact with the Lost Pack to claim their reward. If all cosmetic rewards have been obtained, interacting with a Lost Pack will trigger a pop-up informing the player that all possible rewards have been collected.
Each player will receive a reward based off of the first person who opens the pack; however, if the next player to claim already owns it, they will be rewarded with a different one. The received reward is not linked to the class of the player opening the pack, it’ll simply be a cosmetic that the player doesn’t have.
Currently, there are 90 possible rewards in total available from Lost Packs:
• 36 Armor Paintjobs
• 53 Pickaxe Customization
• 1 APD-B317 "Bosco" Paintjob
Armor Paintjobs
Each class has 5 sets of color patterns with variants for each class, as well as 4 unique class-specific paintjobs. Armor Paintjobs can be applied to any unlocked Armor.

Pickaxe pieces
There are 8 different sets broken into 7 different parts: Front Blade, Back Blade, Head, Shaft, Handle, Pommel, and Paintjob. Acquiring a Front Blade part also awards the corresponding Back Blade part, meaning each pickaxe set equates to 6 items in the drop pool.
There are also 4 Back Blades and 1 Paintjob that do not belong to a set.

Drops
The Lost Pack site will contain from 20 to 25 chunks, each chunk chosen randomly between gold and both of the biome's crafting minerals. The value of each chunk ranges from 3 to 5 (also chosen randomly). Check the table below for the minerals in each biome.
On average, the team can expect a total of 90 units worth of minerals from one Lost Pack, spread more or less equally between all three resources. However, due to the many random rolls involved, theoretically the total can land anywhere between 60 and 125 units.

Trivia
- Similar encounter as Cargo Crates.
- Lost Pack and Cargo Crates spawn independently of each other, and can sometimes both be in the map.
- The helmet model used to scan the area is the same as the Corporate Marine, a headwear item usable by players.
- The Lemon Clean and Combat Cleaner paintjob sets were added to the Lost Pack pool in Season 04: Critical Corruption, and were the original versions of the paintjob included in the Decontaminator Pack, which was tweaked prior to release following community feedback. The Lemon Clean weapon paintjob was made separately available in the Season 04 Performance Pass, replacing a 100 Umanite reward.[1]
- Prior to the February Maintenance Update, Bosco Frameworks and the Lemon Clean Bosco Paintjob appeared in Cargo Crates instead of Lost Packs due to a bug.
