They’re currently broken and can randomly go away when server hopping, logging out, or using certain magazines.

Multiple players have submitted bug reports that have yet to be acknowledged by Bethesda to my knowledge. This was something I thought was a very rare issue with gold bullion lunchboxes, but now that we can buy them in large amounts and many players used tons all weekend, it’s become clear that they actually bug out often and were released as paid items with several blatant bugs that negate the xp gain.

When using 4 lunchboxes at the same time:

-if you log out for the day with time left on boxes, there is a small chance some or all of your lunchboxes will continue burning time even after you logout and / or vanish upon logging out.

-if you use certain xp boosting magazines, they can negate 1 of your 4 active lunchboxes.

-if you server hop, there is a small chance 1 or more of your lunchbox xp boosts will just vanish into thin air.

I personally have seen all these things happen to my character, and recently talked to other friend players who confirmed the same things. Seems others on this board are noting it happening more too now with more lunchbox use. It doesn’t appear to be just a visual bug...

Bethesda Austin — we need a comment on this? Address this? Why wasn’t this fixed before they were put on the atomic shop? Multiple people on this very board have sent bug reports on this topic and it has yet to get an official comment that I’ve seen.

P.S. - the timer still runs on those lunchboxes when you crash out of the game and have to spend 5-10 min loading back in. This + all the bugs with them are ridiculous and getting out of hand.

Hey there! Thank you so much for the post. This was addressed in Update 21, but clearly there are still some issues surrounding this bug. We're going to raise this today and have this case re opened!
