The 50 Rainbow Star chest in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 is a crucial element for players looking to enhance their gameplay experience and unlock valuable items. It’s a cornerstone of the game’s progression system, particularly when engaging with the Town Hall and its various events. But what exactly do you get when you spend those hard-earned 50 Rainbow Stars? The answer is multifaceted, encompassing several key rewards that make this chest so highly sought after:
The primary reward from the 50 Rainbow Star chest is a Trial Key. This key is essential for accessing the Trials of Gnomus, a challenging and rewarding side mode within the game. These trials offer unique gameplay experiences and are necessary for unlocking certain characters. However, the 50 Rainbow Star chest does not award legendary or super rare cosmetic items. Those types of items are exclusively found in the 200 Rainbow Star chest (the Everlasting Crown being one example).
Beyond the Trial Key, you receive random keys. The article references “random keys”, but these are not keys to unlock other types of chests. The use of the word key can be confusing. They are keys to the Trial of Gnomus as mentioned above. The 50 Rainbow Star chest also gives a random selection of customization items, but these are typically not the rarest or most sought-after items. These chests do not offer unique character unlocks or character parts. The items usually consist of common and sometimes uncommon cosmetic items like hats, accessories, or gestures. The best rewards come in the 200-star chest.
The 50-star chest is the only way to get access to the Trials of Gnomus mode. So, despite not offering the most rare customization items, the 50-star chest remains a critical purchase. The trials are a key part of the game. So, while the rewards themselves might not be glamorous, the access they unlock is invaluable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rainbow Stars and Chests
Here are 15 frequently asked questions to further clarify how Rainbow Stars and chests function in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2:
How Do I Earn Rainbow Stars?
The primary way to earn Rainbow Stars is by participating in events within the Mystery Portal in the Town Hall. Completing these events grants you between 3 to 5 Rainbow Stars depending on whether you win or lose the round. You cannot earn them elsewhere.
What is the 30 Rainbow Star Chest?
The 30 Rainbow Star chest offers two items. These items are generally considered “rare” customizations. They are often better than items found in 10-star chests but do not include super rare or legendary items found in the 200-star chest.
What does the 10 Rainbow Star Chest provide?
The 10 Rainbow Star chest gives one item. This item is generally a “common” customization and will not include any of the items found in 50 or 200 star chests.
Does the 50 Rainbow Star Chest Give Legendary Items?
No, the 50 Rainbow Star chest does not provide legendary or super rare items. These are typically reserved for the 200 Star chest. The 50-star chest’s primary purpose is to provide the Trial Key needed for accessing the Trials of Gnomus.
What is the 200 Rainbow Star Chest and what does it give?
The 200 Rainbow Star chest is found in the ‘Chamber of Gnomes’ secret room and provides the Everlasting Crown, a legendary hat that can be equipped by most characters. It’s the only chest that offers this particular legendary item.
What Are the Trials of Gnomus?
The Trials of Gnomus are a series of challenging trials that can be accessed with the Trial Key obtained from the 50 Rainbow Star chest. They provide unique and engaging gameplay scenarios, often requiring teamwork or specific strategies.
How Do I Unlock Torchwood?
The Torchwood character is unlocked by opening all 5 locks on the Torchwood chest. Each lock requires 15 Rainbow Stars to be opened, totaling 75 Rainbow Stars. You must also complete the four trials of gnomus to unlock the Torchwood character.
What Can You Buy with Rainbow Stars?
Rainbow Stars are used to purchase special chests inside the Town Hall and unlock locks on chests for special characters or areas. They can also be used to unlock Prize Bulbs along Festival Prize Maps in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville.
Where Do I Spend My Rainbow Stars?
You can spend Rainbow Stars inside the Town Hall or in areas that require unlocks through locks and trials, typically found after the final portal from completing DLC. In the case of Torchwood, the locks are found in the back of the town hall.
How Often Does the Town Hall Open?
The Town Hall in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 usually opens once a month for about two weeks, typically opening on the second Tuesday of every month. During this time, you can earn Rainbow Stars and access special events.
How Can I Get Trial Keys?
You primarily obtain Trial Keys by opening the 50 Rainbow Star chest in the Town Hall. These chests are reset at the start of a new portal event.
What is the Rainbow Star Symbol?
The “rainbow star” symbol itself does not have a meaning in relation to this game. The term is used to label the in-game currency. In the real world a rainbow star of life symbol is a fusion of the symbol for pre-hospital emergency care and the rainbow flag, representing the LGBT+ community.
What is the Drop Rate for Rainbow Chests in Other Games?
In games where Rainbow Chests appear as regular game items, like other games in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise (these are not in Garden Warfare 2), Rainbow chests are rare. They have a very low drop rate – in some cases 0.0333% chance to replace a regular chest, or 0.0343% chance after clearing a room. The 50-star chest is always present in the town hall when the portal event is live.
What Happens After Maxing Out Magic Find in GW2?
The article references Guild Wars 2, where “max luck” (or magic find) accumulates until reaching a cap of 300%. After this cap is reached, the bar will turn green, and luck will continue to accumulate up to 472,510. However, using Essence of Luck beyond this point is wasteful. The max luck is completely different than the game in question.
Can You Gift Rainbow Stars?
In Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2, there is no in-game mechanic to directly gift Rainbow Stars to another player. Rainbow Stars are primarily earned through personal gameplay within the portal.
Understanding the function and rewards of the 50 Rainbow Star chest is essential to navigating the content and progression of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. The Trial Keys it provides are crucial to unlocking key content and experiences, particularly for those looking to complete all the in-game challenges and unlock every character. By spending your Rainbow Stars strategically, you can unlock the full potential of the game and enjoy its many engaging experiences.
