How to Get Weapons and Armor for Earth Defense Force 5

How to Get Weapons and Armor

In Earth Defense Force 5 you get new weapons and armor (which increases your HP) by picking up boxes during missions, weapon boxes are green while armor boxes are red. You will be able to see the contents of these boxes once the mission has finished, the majority of which will go towards the class you are currently playing. Any boxes still left on the ground when the mission finishes are lost.

However, if you fail the mission you will only be able to keep a percentage of the boxes, this is determined by how well you did in the mission and what difficulty setting you were playing. The percentage of boxes you can expect to keep is 100% on Easy, 75% on Normal, 50% on Hard, 25% on Hardest, and 0% on Inferno difficulty.
