Three Cold Blooded Bosses are currently available in the popular video game. To get the Vault Keycard, you will have to drop where they are and eliminate them. Here are their locations:

  • Fault Splits
  • Brutal Bastion
  • Shattered Slabs

However, be careful while landing as a lot of other players will be trying to complete the challenge as well.


2) Eliminate the boss and pick up the Vault Keycard

Once you pick your landing location and get to the ground, you will have to pick up a couple of weapons as quickly as possible. Use these weapons to protect yourself against enemies and eliminate the boss.

Like any other great entity, Cold Blooded Bosses have a larger health pool than other NPCs. Furthermore, they are guarded by henchmen and shooting them will increase your heat level.

Bosses are generally very easy to eliminate, so you shouldn't have much trouble when you decide to collect a Vault Keycard dropped by a defeated Cold Blooded Boss.


3) Swipe the card at the vault

To complete the new Fortnite challenge, you will have to locate the vault and swipe your Vault Keycard to access it. You simply need to interact with the console next to the vault to finish the task.

Cold Blooded Vaults contain a lot of high-quality items, which is why many players will try to open them. As such, keep an eye on enemies the entire time and make sure to protect yourself first.
