In Fortnite, certain places have far superior loot to others. POIs generally have better loot than landmarks, and some POIs are better than their own counterparts. Landing in a good spot can determine the quality of loot you can get. In the past, vaults have typically been the best spot to go for loot, even if they're extremely rare and difficult to get into.
In Chapter 4 Season 3, there are actually seven vaults. Most seasons are lucky to have one vault, but this season there are enough to go around. Here's where they are and how to get into them with the key.
How to get into vaults in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3
The first step to getting into any vault in Fortnite is always to get the keycard. Without it, you will never penetrate the unbreakable door that covers it or the impenetrable walls and ceiling surrounding it.

At each vault location, there is a highcard key boss and two of his henchmen roaming around. They are hostile, and killing all of them results in the dropping of the keycard. When you get to each area, be sure to find and eliminate the NPCs to get the card and head to the vault.

The seventh vault is always located on Loot Island, which famously does not have a set location on the map. Additionally, this is the only map that cannot be opened with a keycard.
Instead, it requires two regular keys (which can drop from chests) to open. These are all of Chapter 4 Season 3's vaults.
