After a long-haul, Fortnite's Season 1 is finally over, and it's time for Season 2 to shine. Season 1 has been one of the longest seasons in the game, but now that it's finally over, Fortnite is seeing some changes with the beginning of Season 2. There are map changes, new features, and a lot of new content added to the game with the new season, and players are already running into a bit of trouble trying to complete new challenges in the game.
Those who've run into a bunch of locked vault doors in Fortnite will definitely be wondering what the deal is with these sealed vaults. Whenever players interact with a locked door, they will see a "Requires Keycard" message pop-up, which simply means players need to get a special keycard to open these vaults. The game does not specify where on Fortnite's map players will find the keycards, but this simple guide will show Fortnite players the exact locations of these keycards.
What are Fortnite vaults
The new Fortnite vaults are locked rooms that contain high-quality loot inside. Players can not get into these vaults without the keycards, so they need to hunt down specific mini-bosses to get the keycard for each locked room. The bosses and the vaults are scattered around the map; here's how to find each mini-boss.
Where to Find Keycards in Fortnite
There are five keycard locations, each with its own mini-boss, so players will have to venture far across the Fortnite map to acquire each card. The image above showcases the exact location of each keycard.
The Shark Keycard Location
The Shark keycard is located at The Shark location, which is in the northwest corner of the map. The locked vault is located in the basement, and players must defeat Skye to get the keycard. She's an easy one to beat as she does not have a lot of health, so shoot her down quickly and get the keycard.
The Rig Keycard Location
The Rig can be found in the southwest corner of the map. TNTina is the mini-boss of the rig, but similar to Skye, she doesn't have a lot of health either. So, players will have an easier time killing her and getting the keycard. The vault is inside one of the enormous legs that support the entire rig.
The Grotto Keycard Location
Head over to The Grotto, which is located northeast of Retail Row. Enter the north side of the facility to find the vault and also Brutus, the mini-boss for The Grotto. Unlike previous mini-bosses, Brutus has a lot of health and takes a while to kill, so make sure to avoid his shots. Also, take out all the henchmen in the area, or they might pose a serious threat as well. Kill Brutus to get the keycard for the vault.
The Yacht Keycard Location
The Yacht is located in the northeast corner of the map, and Meowscles is the mini-boss of this area. This one is another beefy boss that takes a lot of hits to defeat. He'll be in the main room with a bunch of henchmen around him, so take them all out at once to acquire the keycard for the vault. The Yacht's vault is located on the lower deck.
The Agency Keycard Location
The Agency is situated right in the middle of the map, and this is where players will run into Midas, the gold-loving boss who takes no prisoners. He's often found inside the main building patrolling along with a few henchmen, so make sure to kill or avoid the henchmen before taking him on. Once players acquire the keycard, they will have to head over to the basement to find the Agency vault.
Fortnite is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
