Vaults in Supervive, explained

The Vaults in Supervive are one of the game’s most contested objectives, and understanding how they work can make or break your match. They’re scattered across the map and packed with powerful rewards like abilities, gold, and armor. Because of the value inside, they are usually the first thing teams plan around when deciding where to drop.

Walking past a Vault gives you a glimpse of its contents. If what’s inside looks worth the risk, you can attempt to crack it open. But you must be quick and coordinated, as the process isn’t straightforward and alerts everyone on the map when it’s in progress. Here is how you can do it.

How to open Vaults in Supervive

Opening a Vault requires completing a short timing QTE minigame rather than simply interacting with the door.

• Go to the Vault door and press the action key (default E).
• A circular meter will appear with a rotating arm and highlighted zones.
• Press the button when the arm aligns with the highlighted section to deal damage to the Vault door.

Hitting the highlighted “sweet spot” deals roughly 7,000 damage, while hitting slightly outside deals about 3,500 damage. Missing the zone entirely cancels the mini-game and spawns lightning orbs that target the player, which teammates can shoot down to prevent damage. If you need to stop early, you can exit by performing a basic attack.

Note: While cracking the Vault, two posts will appear around it at random intervals. These posts must be destroyed by teammates outside the mini-game. Leaving them active makes the Vault harder to break, so teamwork is crucial to get it open quickly and safely.

Other methods to open Vaults in Supervive

1) Gold Key

Gold Keys are rare map spawns that instantly open any vault, bypassing the minigame entirely. They also allow you to unlock Gold Chests, which can contain Tier 4 armor (some of the best gear in-game). They cannot be purchased or looted from standard enemies, making them one of the rarest finds during a match.

2) Robber Raccoon Power

This unique ability lets you skip vault cracking entirely. Found in specific vaults, dropped by biome leaders like Kobayashi’s or Scavenger Bay, or bought at Basecamp and Catacombs shops for 2,000 gold, the Robber Raccoon sends a swarm of raccoons to loot the vault for you.

Vaults in Supervive come in three main types, each marked with a distinct icon on the map:

• Standard Vaults: The most common Vault type, containing regular loot such as Powers, armor upgrades, or gold.
• Abyssal Vaults: Marked with purple icons, these vaults drop normal loot along with an extra Abyssal item, making them highly sought after in mid-game rotations.
• Hot-Zone Vaults: Denoted by yellow shield icons, these vaults are tied to the Hot Zone mechanic and contain Legendary Armor, often triggering heavy team fights.
