Hoping some PTS/Savvy people can explain the lunchbox mechanics for me. I’ve opened three and I’ve noticed no buffs and the “party favor” you receive seems not to be a real item but just a random sticker on your screen for three seconds.

Anyone know what’s actually happening?

Check your Effects tab in your Pip-Boy. You should see a +25% XP bonus for each Lunchbox you (or others who are very near you) open, and it stacks up to a max of +100% XP.

You should also receive an additional buff that can give you things like +15% damage to a specific creature type, enemies that explode into confetti instead of a bloody mess, reduced hunger/thirst, etc. Those don't stack with themselves, but you can have several of these buffs at once, depending on the number of lunchboxes you (or others nearby) have opened.
