The vaults are also back in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1!

They contain tons of rare, amazing loot and a lot of healing items, so you should definitely drop by them if you're in the area. With that said, if you want to know where to find all vaults and how to open them, then you've come to the right place!

All Vault Locations In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1

In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, there are a total of 5 vaults. You cannot open them with keys, instead you have to defeat a very difficult boss with high health, defending the vaults.

Lavish Lair

You will find the first vault at Lavish Lair. Simply walk through the archway under the entrance in the north of the building and you're there.

Reckless Railways

For this vault, go to the southernmost building and run down the stairs. You will then find the safe in the basement.

Grand Glacier

For the vault at Grand Glacier, go through a normal white door in the southeast of the building. You will find a wall opening on the right-hand side. Run through it and then down the stairs on the right and you will find yourself in front of the vault.

Fencing Fields

The next vault is located in the southernmost building of Fencing Fields. In a room with many bookshelves, you will find one next to an elongated mirror, which you must destroy. This will open the entrance to the basement, where the vault is located.

Snooty Steppes

For the last vault, you have to go to the building in the far west of Snooty Steppes. Follow the main staircase to the basement and you will find the vault.

How To Open A Vault In Fortnite

To open the vaults, you need a vault key card. To get them, you have to eliminate the boss Highcard. This is located at each of the vault locations, but it only spawns in the middle of the game.

So the best way to gain access to the vaults is to eliminate all enemies in the location, equip yourself with good weapons, and then wait.

Once Highcard and his two Henchman spawn, it's up to you to defeat them.


Once you've eliminated the boss, he'll drop the key card for you. Now stand in front of the computer by the vault and interact with it to open the heavy doors with your card.

It takes a few seconds for the vault to open, so stay alert to avoid being surprised by an enemy from behind.

Oh yes, if you come across the Loot Island, you can check it out as well. In fact, there is also a vault on the island, but you have to open it with two keys. The Loot Island spawns in a different location each round, so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled to spot it.

That was it. Have fun looting!
