Overview

Metal Boxes are the player's first introduction to resistances. They, like every other box, spawn on the right of the screen, and move towards the left. They have much more health than a standard wooden box, and are resistant to 2 of the 3 damage types encountered the most in their spawning zones.

Appearance

Metal boxes take the appearance of a square gray metal crate, with 2 metal cross beams, held on with visible bolts.

Attack Description

Metal boxes still don't directly attack, and damage on player collision.

Spawning

Metal boxes, due to their difficulty, spawn much more rarely in Sky High, but become more common later in the game.

Strategy

Metal boxes have a lot of health, and spawn rarely, so, (in early-game) weapons that deal high single-target damage, including Laser Blaster will be effective against them.
If destroying them is not desired, or not possible, Heavy Shots can be employed to move the boxes out of the way.
Rifle can pierce metal boxes without damaging them, so the player can destroy other boxes behind these.
