The Neon Glasses are one of the most visually striking accessories in Storage Hunters: Open World. These Epic rarity glasses feature animated neon glow effects that cycle through colors, making your character's face light up in any environment.

This guide covers everything you need to know about the Neon Glasses, including how to unlock them, the full quest walkthrough, visual details, and how they compare to other accessories.
What Are the Neon Glasses?

How to Get the Neon Glasses
The Neon Glasses are earned as a reward for completing the Shipyard NPC quest chain. This is a guaranteed reward, meaning if you complete all the required quests, you will receive the Neon Glasses. There is no luck involved, unlike container-based accessories such as the Golden Crown.
Step 1: Reach the Shipyard
The Shipyard is the endgame area in Storage Hunters: Open World, and it requires the highest net worth to unlock. Before you can start the Shipyard quest chain, you need to progress through all previous areas:
- Junk Yard - Free starter area
- Back Alley - Requires 750 net worth
- Farmyard - Requires higher net worth
- Shipyard - Requires maximum net worth
For a detailed walkthrough of area progression, see our Area Unlock Progression Guide.
Step 2: Find the Shipyard Quest NPC
Once you have unlocked the Shipyard, locate the Shipyard Quest NPC. This NPC stands near the Shipyard auction board and offers a chain of quests specific to the Shipyard area. Talk to them to begin the quest chain that ultimately rewards the Neon Glasses.
Step 3: Complete the Shipyard Quest Chain
The Shipyard quest chain consists of several tasks that test your knowledge of the endgame area and your auction skills. While the exact quest requirements may evolve with game updates, the typical Shipyard quest chain includes:
| Quest | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Quest 1 | Win a Shipyard Container auction | Cash + XP |
| Quest 2 | Find an item with a Rare or higher mutation | Cash + XP |
| Quest 3 | Sell items worth a combined total | Cash + XP |
| Quest 4 | Haul items with total weight exceeding a threshold | Cash + XP |
| Quest 5 | Complete a specific challenge in the Shipyard | Neon Glasses |
Each quest must be completed in order. The quests are designed to familiarize you with the Shipyard area and its mechanics. For help with each quest, see our Quest NPCs Guide.
Step 4: Equip the Neon Glasses
After completing the final quest, the Neon Glasses are permanently added to your accessory inventory. Equip them from your character screen to wear the glowing glasses at auctions and around the map.
Neon Glasses Visual Effects
The Neon Glasses stand out from other eyewear accessories because of their dynamic visual effects:
- Color cycling - The neon glow transitions through multiple colors over time, including blue, green, purple, and pink
- Ambient lighting - The glasses emit a soft glow that slightly illuminates your character's face in darker areas
- Particle effects - Small sparkle particles occasionally emit from the frames
- Movement responsiveness - The glow intensity subtly changes as your character moves
These effects make the Neon Glasses one of the most visually dynamic accessories in the game. Unlike static accessories like the Sunglasses or Monocle, the Neon Glasses are constantly changing and always draw attention.
Neon Glasses vs. Other Eyewear
The Neon Glasses are the best eyewear accessory in Storage Hunters: Open World, but how do they compare to the alternatives?
| Eyewear | Rarity | Visual Impact | Source | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neon Glasses | Epic | 8/10 | Shipyard quest chain | Best eyewear |
| Sunglasses | Uncommon | 4/10 | Shop purchase (500 cash) | Good budget option |
| Goggles | Common | 3/10 | Junk Yard quest | Starter option |
| Monocle | Rare | 6/10 | Farmyard NPC quest | Classy alternative |
The Neon Glasses are clearly superior in visual impact. The Sunglasses are a decent early-game option but lack any special effects. The Goggles are thematically appropriate but visually plain. The Monocle has a classy aesthetic but is a static item without animation.
If you had to choose only one eyewear accessory, the Neon Glasses are the obvious pick. However, you can actually equip the Neon Glasses alongside other headwear accessories since they occupy the eyewear slot, not the headwear slot.
Best Accessory Combinations with Neon Glasses
The Neon Glasses pair well with many accessories. Here are the most popular combinations:
- Neon Glasses + Cape - The superhero look. Both are Shipyard rewards, so you earn them around the same time. The cape's flowing animation complements the glasses' glow.
- Neon Glasses + Golden Crown - Ultimate flex combination. The crown's gold glow and the glasses' neon effect create a striking contrast.
- Neon Glasses + Top Hat - A futuristic formal look. The classic Top Hat with modern glowing glasses makes a unique style statement.
- Neon Glasses + Badge - The cyberpunk hunter. The Badge's metallic detail pairs well with the neon aesthetic.
- Neon Glasses + Diamond Necklace - Maximum bling. The necklace's sparkle effects combined with the glasses' glow make you the flashiest player at any auction.

Shipyard Quest Tips
Completing the Shipyard quest chain efficiently requires some preparation:
Preparation Before Starting the Quest Chain
- Have sufficient cash - Shipyard Container auctions are expensive. Bring at least 3000 cash to comfortably win bids.
- Upgrade your vehicle - The Shipyard quests may require hauling heavy items. Consider the Car Weight gamepass for extra capacity.
- Know your mutations - One quest requires finding a Rare or higher mutation item. Brush up on mutation visuals using our All Mutations Guide.
- Clear your shop shelves - One quest involves selling a certain value of items. Having empty shelf space ready speeds this up. Consider the Selling Space gamepass for more slots.
During the Quest Chain
- Focus on one quest at a time - Do not split your attention between multiple quests. Complete each objective before moving to the next.
- Use Shipyard Containers - The quest chain is designed around the Shipyard area. Staying in the Shipyard and bidding on local containers is the most efficient approach.
- Do not skip ahead - The quests build on each other. Completing them in order ensures you are prepared for each subsequent challenge.
