There are new vaults scattered across the Fortnite map for players to collect in Chapter 3 Season 2. Vaults in Fortnite are filled with loot that can aid players in battle, from healing items to materials to rare weapons. Vaults have appeared in previous Fortnite chapters and seasons, and they’re back with new locations and loot.
Unlike last season, players can no longer open every vault right away, as certain vault locations have been taken over by Fortnite's IO. Certain vaults will become available as the season goes on and the story progresses, so players are going to want to know where to find these vaults. There are currently eight vaults players can find.
Vaults are just one of many items players can find on the map, along with collectibles like Fortnite's Omni Chips. To open a vault in team Battle Royale, players need to go to the vault location with their team, and the vault will flash symbols indicating how many people need to stand in front of it. Once the correct number of people stand in front of the scanner, the vault will open. In solo mode, players need to either recruit an NPC, or catch a chicken that they can use to provide the scanner with the correct number of people.
Every New Vault Location in Chapter 3 Season 2 of Fortnite
Here is where players can find every new vault in Fortnite:
- Vault 1 - The first vault can be found southwest of Greasy Grove, in the basement of the main building in Seven Outpost I. Players should make sure they're not confusing Seven Outposts with IO Outposts in Fortnite, which have chests and ammo boxes.
- Vault 2 - Found at Seven Outposts II, in the northwest of Logjam Lumberyard, on the right side of the basement of the main building.
- Vault 3 - At Seven Outposts III, in the northern silo of The Daily Bugle.
- Vault 4 - At the bottom of the map in the very south building of Condo Canyon, at Seven Outposts IV.
- Vault 5 - At Seven Outpost V, on the mountain northwest of Camp Cuddle on the left side of the river, in the building with the glass roof.
- Vault 6 - At Seven Outpost VI, at Coney Crossroads (which can be found southwest of Loot Lake). It will be in the big right building.
- Vault 7 - On one of the tropical islands in the east Sanctuary at Seven Outpost VII.
- Vault 8 - This vault functions differently than the others, and is located in Command Cavern on the bottom floor of the large IO facility under the summit. Players should be careful, as this area is likely filled with Fortnite's IO Guards. Players must first defeat Gunnar, who will give them a vault card they can use to open the final vault.
Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android, and PC.
