If you’ve played Apex Legends, then Fortnite: Chapter 2’s new Vaults in Season 2 will be familiar. You need a special keycard to access each one and can acquire some pretty cool loot. However, you’ll have to contend with Agent minibosses to acquire the corresponding keycard.

Let’s go over the Agency HQ Vault first. Go to the center of the map and you’ll see the Agency. The biggest building will have Midas, who can appear anywhere within so be careful. Keep in mind that there are turrets and minions that also have to be dealt with so take them out first.

Defeating Midas will yield a keycard. Now go to the lobby, take the left hallway and head down the Eastern staircase. You’ll encounter two turrets guarding the Vault so either use a disguise, build some walls to block them off or destroy them. Enter the Vault to find one supply crate, four Slurp Cans, four ammo boxes, two supply caches and two chests.

Next up is The Rig, located in South-West. You’ll need to take out TNTina first, which shouldn’t be too difficult. Get the keycard, go towards the North to Vault and open it up. You’ll find three ammo boxes, three chests, one supply crate and one supply cache.

The Yacht is pretty easy to find in the North-East part of the map. Find Meowscles, defeat him and his minions, and you’ll receive the keycard. Head to the lower deck, avoid/destroy the turret guarding the Vault and open it up. Two supply caches and one supply crate can be found here.

The Grotto is also easy to locate on the map. You’ll need to take down various minions first and then head to the shore. Use a phone booth for a disguise, head to the North and then fight Brutus for the keycard. There are two turrets guarding the Vault so use a disguise again to get past them. Four supply caches, four ammo boxes and one supply crate can be found here.

The Shark Vault is located in the North-West. Look for a shark-like rock formation and find Skye. Defeat her and pick up the keycard. You’ll have to get past a turret in the basement to access the Vault but a disguise will help here as well. You’ll find four supply caches and one supply crate in the Vault.

It’s worth noting that each of the different Agents has a Mythic Weapon that drops when they’re defeated so Vault hunting might be worthwhile for that alone. If you’re having trouble locating the Vaults, check out the handy video guide below from GamesRadar.

Epic Games has released two trailers for Fortnite: Chapter 2’s second season and the theme is secret agents. Players have a new hub called The Hideout and can various agent-themed cosmetics. These can be upgraded into different variations by completing challenges. Check out the trailers below.

Each skin is essentially an agent, from Agent Meowscles and Maya to the head honcho Midas. Completing missions will give players the chance to earn the Ghost or Shadow skin variations (you can change them in the new hub). The Hideout also provided a better way to view challenges throughout the map.

Players can also look forward to a new limited time mode focused on sneaking around and planting bombs (including some snazzy looking Bouncing Betty’s). The Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks and comes with 1500 V-Bucks in addition to the all the new cosmetics. Oh and Marvel’s Deadpool just happens to be hanging out as well, which is likely a new cosmetic bundle to purchase.

It feels like forever since Season 1 of Fortnite: Chapter 2 has been around but its end is near. Season 2 kicks off today and will likely see updates to the map, a new Battle Pass with various cosmetics, and some new gameplay mechanics. Epic Games has announced that the downtime for server maintenance will start at 4 AM ET.

The game’s official Twitter also noted that patch sizes would be larger than normal since this is the start of a new Season. One has to wonder about the different changes coming especially with regards to the battle royale map. We’ll just have to wait and see what all this “activated” nonsense is about in a few hours.

Fortnite: Chapter 2 started back in October 2019 following the popular “The End” event which saw the old map destroyed. It was thought to be going away this past January but Epic Games announced a continuation till February. Not that there haven’t been different events and collaborations in that time, the most recent being one with Birds of Prey, the new Harley Quinn film.

Get ready to be activated.
