Last month, Monolith and Warner Bros announced that Middle-earth: Shadow Of War will be featuring loot chests for players to purchase with in game currency. Whilst this move is a little controversial, both Monolith and Warner Bros have assured players that the loot obtained from these chests can be obtained in Mordor.
There are two types of chests that players can purchase, loot chests and war chests. Loot chests give you new runes, weapons and armour which Talion can equip, whilst war whests add orcs to your army, give you training orders to make your orcs stronger and spoils of war boosts that will make your army stronger.
