Pro Kit Box


 * This article is about boxes in Asphalt 8: Airborne. For other uses, see Box (disambiguation).

A Pro Kit Box is a container for random items like Pro Kit cards or Blueprints first used in Asphalt 8: Airborne. Pro Kit Boxes can be divided in two main categories, boxes that have to be earned, and purchasable boxes. They were created as a way for players to receive Pro Kits without having to compete in time-limited Events. Pro Kit Boxes were added in the Winter Update, along with the debut of Pro Kits.

The Fifth Anniversary Update indruduced Festival Bundles which are actually meta-boxes that can contain other Pro Kit Boxes, Blueprint Boxes, Credits and Tokens. The Sixth Anniversary Update has introduced boxes that contain only Festival Coins so that Pro Kit Box now has to be undeperstood as a generic term for various box types in the game.



Claiming boxes
It is generally advised that players keep their inventory full when claiming or buying boxes. This moves the new box into the pending boxes list instead of opening it immediately. While the pending boxes list can contain an unlimited number of boxes, the inventory space is limited and expensive. Keeping boxes in the pending boxes list enables players to open only those which contain cards they currently need.

Boxes are mostly opened immediately after obtaining them, but there are a few exceptions when a box is moved to the pending boxes list no matter if there is enough inventory space to open it. Opened immediately:
 * Buying a box
 * Daily ads rewards
 * Finish line rewards
 * Moto Blitz rewards
 * Special events: Championship, Research & Development and Enduro Double Down rewards
 * Fusion system (see below)

Always moved to pending boxes list:
 * Daily Tasks rewards
 * Mastery rewards
 * Time-limited event rewards

Extra card
Since the 2019 Spring Update, players are given the option to watch an ad after opening a box to get an extra card twice per day. There has to be a free additional slot in the player's inventory to enable the ad option. For boxes that only grant one specific card, the extra card will be of the same kind, so players have the possibility to increase their number of rare Pro Kits by using the ad option only for these boxes.

Here is a list of all the Pro Kit Boxes ever sold or to be won.

Time-limited boxes
Time-limited boxes cost and grant engine/tech/parts cards, with a guaranteed minimum of a certain card type. Starting on Nov 3 2015, the ads for new boxes were not customized for the box anymore, but just a uni red/blue/green box with a background in the same color.

On December 3, 2015, new generic ads were released, now featuring a box with a question mark and a grey background.

Daily Bonus
Daily Bonus rewards are granted for continuous daily logins.

Although this box has the outer appearance of a Blueprint box, it contains 1 of every class C part: Tire, Suspension, Drivetrain, Exhaust. Usually it is offered once per month, at the end of the first week of continuous logins.

The Daily Bonus also rewards, 2 and 4, and, since November 2018, (see Blueprints below) instead of blueprints for a specific car. Furthermore, players with a VIP status are rewared Daily Bonus VIP Boxes like the (see VIP below).

Daily ads
As of the Fifth Anniversary Update, the following boxes have replaced the and. They can be obtained by watching daily ads.

The 2019 Halloween Update temporarily introduced a daily ads streak system where the Compact Boxes replaced the Optimal Boxes as rewards:

Finish Line Rewards
Introduced with the Fast Lane Update, this box is rewarded for finishing highlighted races. The timer for new boxes is reset at 0:00 player's local time.

Daily Tasks
Introduced in the 2018 Spring Update, completing Daily Tasks now counts towards a Streak Reward. Completing the streak requires 12 Tasks to be completed consecutively.


 * Prior to the Fast Lane Update, completing a streak rewarded either a or a . After the update, completing a streak now rewards  instead of a box, so the Compact Shuffle and Split Box can be regarded as discontinued as there is no other way to obtain them.
 * Completing a single task now sometimes rewards an or an.

Depending on the vehicle, Mastery challenges also grant the following boxes (see Mastery § Challenge Rewards for details): Cars: Bikes:

Moto Blitz
The Moto Blitz reward boxes were introduced with the 2019 Spring Update.

Time-Limited Events
Every Event offers Pro Kit Boxes as a reward. The following boxes can be won (all have 1- to 5-item versions. If there is no article for all versions, only the 1-item version is shown):

Multiplayer League
Introduced as part of the Multiplayer League Update and can only be earned either from saving season points or finishing within certain Multiplayer League at the end of a season.

Season point boxes:

League boxes:

Fusion system
Introduced in the Motorcycles Update, all Pro Kit cards now give. 3 Fusion Boxes can be obtained, depending on how many points the player has.

Contrary to common belief, it is recommended to buy instead of  if a player wants to obtain  cards.

The amount of Fusion points given is based on the card's rarity: The amount of Fusion points given out were reduced in the Asphalt Moments Update and the Halloween Update.

Special Events
The World Tour and later the Festival events have introduced a new sort of boxes ("Supplies" and "Bundles") whose content is not sorted by rarity, but by content type (Blueprint Boxes, Pro Kit Boxes, Tokens and Credits). If the player's inventory is full when opening the bundles, the content comes as specific boxes—thus placing Engines, Tech and Parts separately in the pending boxes list without blocking inventory space. This has two great advantages:


 * Unlike general random part or engine boxes, the content of the new boxes is specific. The player doesn't have to open a box to know what's in it.
 * Although a Halloween Festival Bundle can reward 12 part or engine cards, its content comes as 12 separate 1-item boxes, so the player is able to open only the amount of boxes needed for an upgrade, unlike 5-item Engine Boxes, for example.

The new boxes are:

Engines

Tech

Parts (Classes D to S; only D-Class version shown. A- and S-Class versions have instead of .)

Research & Development
Introduced in the Research & Development Update and are only obtainable in Research & Development events.

Throughout a championship, "One-Time Offer!" for a Championship Professional Box will show up. Despite the description, the box will be offered several times during the event.

McLaren
Prior to the 2018 McLaren X2's Championship, McLaren Championship Boxes were named Championship Rookie, Championship Master and Championship Pro Box, the latter being red instead of the standard yellow. An additional Pro Box (without "Championship") could be bought for.


 * In the Arash AF10's R&D event, Test 056 erroneously gave out a McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 Championship Pro Box instead of the usual . This has been corrected as of the Car Blueprints Update.
 * Its limited offer was glitched and did not show a thumbnail of the box. Similarly, the "One-time offer" box only had "???" as the description.

Later, the standard names Championship Advanced Box and Championship Professional Box were taken over for the Master and Pro Box, with the Advanced Box now featuring the same icon as the Professional Box.
