Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: What are red chests?

Throughout the game, you’ll come across multiple kinds of chests. Most are ordinary-looking chests that either Cal can open himself, or that BD-1 can slice for him. However, you’ll also come across some chests that glow red, indicating that they’re locked in a way that neither Cal nor BD-1 can contend with – at least for now.

To open these chests, you need a special ability called the Electro-Dart. It’s a BD-1 ability that unlocks during a cutscene while trying to make your way to the Mountain Observatory on Koboh, during one of the story’s later acts.
