The Fortnite island is home to many unique secrets in each season. One of these secrets is vaults, which are treasure troves typically featured in every season. For Chapter Seven, season two, there’s one at New Sanctuary, so you may be wondering how to access it.
As the name implies, most vaults are locked and oftentimes tricky to access. The loot inside is always well worth the effort you have to put in, though, so here’s how to open New Sanctuary Vault in Fortnite.
New Sanctuary Vault location in Fortnite
The secret vault at New Sanctuary is situated deep underground in the triangle building right at the center of this POI, which is located near the bottom right corner of the island map. You can find it by entering the triangle building and making your way down using the various ascenders situated around the area.
Can you open the vault door at New Sanctuary in Fortnite?
As of the time of writing, you cannot open up the vault door at New Sanctuary just yet. It’s a bit misleading, as you can hear chests behind the door, and this vault was previously able to be opened during season one using a big red button next to the door. It looks and sounds like it should open, but unfortunately, it doesn’t just yet.
Although you can’t get inside so far, this vault will seemingly become unlocked as the season progresses. On the Showdown page, the final reward listed under Team Foundation’s section is a Seven Compound Vault Key. This is the only vault at the New Sanctuary POI, and since you can already hear the loot behind the massive door, it makes sense that it has to eventually become unlockable.
The Seven Vault Compound Key is the final reward listed in the Act I section under the Showdown page. This means it’ll take quite a lot of Rivalry points to get it, but it will unlock earlier on this season rather than super late into it. You can help get the key to unlock the vault faster by completing Rivalries as often as you can, as Rivalry points are the only currency that makes progress in this event.
Once the key for the vault has been unlocked, we’ll likely be able to access it using a new console that will be added near the door or one of the existing ones overlooking it. It’ll probably be at least a week or so before we reach this point, but as soon as we do, we’ll update this guide with all the information you need to get your hands on the loot inside this vault.
While you wait for the New Sanctuary Vault to unlock, there’s plenty to tackle elsewhere on the island. Some good missions to focus on include finding all Chaos Cubes, using the Jam Track Player, finding the Ice King, and uncovering all NPC locations.
