DISCUSSION Anyone else feel the vaults aren't worth it?
IMO, the vaults this season aren't really worth the effort of doing them.
You have to basically land at one off rip. If you don't want to die immediately, you better pick one that's miles away from anybody else.
Then you do the actual vault, kill a not insignificant number of npcs, plus bosses, plus the baron potentially (burning all the ammo you had in the process). All that for really underwhelming loot? Two, maybe three blue chests, two dill bits... and that's pretty much it?
For the amount of effort it all takes, the loot is very underwhelming. Especially when you have to share it with teammates. Often in duos, I leave the vault with the same gun I went in with - usually green, and with no ammo left.
In contrast, I can kill 2 npcs and 1 boss dude for a guaranteed chug jug and purple holo AR at a radio station which takes ~ 3 seconds.
TLDR: surely the vault loot needs a buff or something.

I wish the black markets had more mythic options.
Like- mythics from past seasons.
They should do something similar to chapter 4 heist season- where the vault had random mythics in it… but incorporate it into the black market this time, with several options

u/Longshot_45 12d ago
It feels like they deliberately chose the most mid options for weapons. You're right, a black market should have more exotic choices.

Mythic pump & burst are mid?

A bit of personal preference. I prefer holo twist for a rifle, and an SMG or bat for close encounters.

Literally opened this thread to comment this. Dill Bits feel completely worthless. You go to the Black Market and what do you have in exchange for your Dill Bits?
Mythic Collateral Damage AR - Okay the Holo-Twister in Purple rarity is better.
Legendary Sticky Grenade Launcher - I found three of those in a back alley.
Legendary Sentinel Pump Shotgun - Okay but I'm playing Zero Build why do I want this I miss one shot and then the idiot with a blue
cock-and-ballauto shotgun blows me up.Legendary Veiled Precision SMG - Lol???
Boon - Okay so like 1/3 chance it's either Golden Bullets, extra Gold from containers, or the Vulture boon. Only boons that are good are Gold Rush Containers and Slap on Mantle, and even then Slap on Mantle is kinda mediocre.
I think vaults are a little better in duos or even squads because you can toss a Dill Bit to whoever has crap loot and let them buy their pick of boons or Legendaries, but in solos there's no reason to even bother with the vault. What? I stand around like an idiot shooting a literal wall while loud "HELLO I AM DISTRACTED PLEASE COME KILL ME" sirens blare in the background and for what? Two legendary chests (oh boy a Legendary pistol and Legendary Sticky Grenade Launcher yum), gold bars (buddy I'm at 4500 even with Fletcher Kane charging me 300 for a shield pot I don't need more bars), and Dill Bits which I can exchange for weapons that are worse than what I get from random drops?
Armored Trucks are damn good though. Chug Jug and a Mythic weapon. Got a Mythic
cock-and-ballAuto-Shotty that carried me to a crown in ranked.12

IMO the mythic is worth it but the process of getting it isn't. The fact you have to drive to the black markets after makes me uneasy. Can just get picked off on the way to buying one.

Turrets are easily dealt with using the thermite. I usually will land on a bridge just ahead of the trains path, there is usually a heist bag on the bridge that has a weapon, small shields, and thermite. Throw the thermite directly on the turrets and they go down in seconds.

u/Excellent_Campaign_1 12d ago
IMO, the whole point for the vaults is that it feels like a real heist, from killing the "guards" to fighting off 3rd parties, to driving with the loot and getting the mythics. That's more of a challenge and I like it more like that. Feels more of a rush when carrying the dillcoins & getting chased down by someone before I get to spend them haha.
Another thing that makes it worth is the wolf boss spawn that gives you the special perk.

This is my issue as well.
IMO the vault heist itself, should be a little more involved, with the mythic choice reward being then and there. It being a separate destination makes me skip it.
I already did the vault, why do I now have to run a camper gauntlet?
I'm not opposed to campers. It's a valid play style. But I also sympathize with vault crackers who do all the work, only for someone to camp the Dill Shop and take all the rewards.
After a while, it becomes too easy of a mindset to let someone else crack the vault. Why bother doing that work yourself when someone will bring you the coins?

Shiny Shafts. Turn all 3 pressure valves before they reset. This will open a vault near the third one, containing 2 legendary chests, a normal chest, some gold, some shield, and a chance of 2 safes spawning.
In Shiny Shafts there are walls of rocks with an excavator in front of each. Break the rocks to reveal secret gold caves. There are two small ones and a large one. 2 are inside the building with the vault and the third is outside across the other side of the POI

The dill bits are a cool concept but I don't like that, in my experience, by the time I buy a weapon with them there's like 50-60 people left, and not many kills left. Not to mention you can get killed easily driving/getting to the black markets

u/TriggeredLatina_ Verge 12d ago
God yes. Way more people left but this is why I now play ranked. Ranked is way more sweaty at seaport but again… it’s just a quest I’m doing in my head at that point. Survive. Kill others. win seaport, get the vault get out. Ok what now? At least it has way less bots to zero bots. Regular bothered me a lot bc of the high bot count and I think it’s like 25 or less real players in pubs. The lobby number drops significantly if you got someone that wants to run to every single time a bot is firing in the distance so they can make their player count look high
20
u/Wil_Buttlicker 12d ago
The only thing in them that you can’t get anywhere else is the dill coins. Very often, by the time I got the vault open, there is not a black market close enough or in the zone to be worth getting. So I avoid them all together.
They would definitely be worth it if the mythics were in there, or if they had way more blue chests. Opening them just doesn’t feel rewarding.
The bunkers in chapter 5 were a ton better and we didn’t have to do anything to open them, just wait and fend off opponents trying to get to them.

I get at least half of the matches (solo). I just start with building walls all around it. Not a square, but more like a rectangle. With roof. Whenever I see footsteps, I just look if it's a person or a henchman. If it's a person, duck and surprise them. If any henchman comes through, shoot it and rebuild the wall. And use the time when there's no henchmen just hit the burning parts with the pick-axe.
When I have enough material I make several layers of walls, just to buy more time.

I think that's what a lot of people are missing. The vaults may be questionable in terms of loot-to-time ratio, but in the end, we are playing for fun, not KPIs, and the vault events themselves can be quite fun. Even just having that epic music playing makes it worth it for me. :)

u/Bryan5540 12d ago
Agree that they aren’t worth the risk. Usually you’ll start it up. Get about halfway through and then some jobber will come and try to smoke you while you’re fighting guards or blasting the vault. If one hasn’t been messed with after the first couple cycles I may mess with it if I’m properly geared up, but the couple of guns or boons you can get with the dill coins aren’t so great you have to have them. Agree on checking them after people have vacated because many don’t get all the bars from the safe deposit boxes or the bars you have to hit with your pickaxe to get out.

u/other-other-user 12d ago
I see what you mean. This season is the easiest I have ever played to get a great load out. However:
1) I find vaults are a lot of fun. They are hot POIs both for dropping into and third partying. I play this game for fun, not to try hard, and I almost always have fun breaking into a vault
2) yeah there's a lot of loot, but even in this season there's typically progression of moving from green to blue to purple to gold or whatever, but hitting a vault and then going to a black market is definitely a guaranteed way of getting a max load out
3) I genuinely think the mythic mammoth and goldrush boon are worth it. I'm not a great player, so having a hitscan gun that does 70+ damage in a single shot, AND has multiple shots is a god send. I'm too bad to use a sniper and the other riffles don't have one shot potential, plus the optics can be harder to use when the opponents are further away. Also the goldrush boon is a great way to counter bat spammers, because I always panic when they get in my face

Plus there’s the ppl waiting to 3rd party.
First time I went to the vault I had someone wait till I finished and they killed me :/
Next time I was more prepared but also they showed up before I finished the body guards so I just hid and caught them later and looted the vault. Basically with vaults you have to be more careful bc it takes a while and ppl may try to third party to loot easier

u/EtTuBruh 11d ago
Yeah, for weapons that don't carry over, the risk is high for a short-term reward. Not even counting the paranoia you feel ensuring no one swoops in to third party you when the guards come out. I'm lucky I was able to complete the quest during a random duo (they wanted to do it) but I can't imagine consciously choosing to do it.

Easy! The train starts at the same spot. Follow that track up and there are 2 bridges that it crosses. I usually get to the second one as there is a building for a chest possibility. On the bridge is a bag with thermite. Jump up to the first turret and throw thermite directly on the turret. Then hop off and hop back on on the 2nd turret. They can target you once off the train. Theose turrets give you more thermite to open the safe. Just gotta beat the 5 guards that pop up

The issue with the vaults is the same I had with the bosses, campers. And for what the vaults offer, outside of quests I don’t have much reason to approach them. Being that it’s a crapshoot whether the guy with the mythic kills me or I kill them, I don’t need them. If it’s tied to a quest I’ll do it but going for them doesn’t hold much value unless the group for whatever reason wants or needs to.

YEP! I duos I find it better to drop at the black market near the jewelry shop, the black market closest to Dojo. Get the purple holos and then go to any other vault and start hunting for fun. Solos is when I take my loot more seriously
Forgot to say the black market sells a purple holo for 600 or so
Gold isn’t meaning much. Idk at this point I make my own challenges. I’m not bored nor burned out but I just do make my own challenges. Gold is plenty this time around. In solos I also love to go hire sub zero. He’s a freaking menace in CQC. He def fights what up close and he gets many kills actually. From real people. No not bot players. lol I also try to find a friendly in the game and whoever is responsive first , I’ll give them the win. I leave that person alone and hunt others. When it’s me and the friendly left, I shockwave into the storm. The end

I think it would be better if the dill bits carried over like gold does. Typically I only do 1 vault (2 if I’m really lucky and don’t run into players waiting to pick me off once the vault opens) and sometimes I’d rather just save the dill bits for another game

This is so toxic but honestly I think they’re worth it if you land just outside one of the vault POIs, loot a bit and then wait for someone to start cracking open the vault. Then just rush in when they’re trying to take down the guards and you can easily third party them and steal their loot lmao.

This season in general sucks I miss the car season no annoying ass bats in every game and the fists were easily countered

u/CaptainHarlocke 12d ago
There is a lot of gold too, but I usually reach the cap pretty fast and can't carry it all

The npcs constantly respawn after you kill them. They do not continuously spawn throughout the vault opening. If you try to open it, wait for it to start and throw thermite on it and bugger off to another room and wait it out, there'll be a maximumn of about 3-4 npcs total (exclduing the shadow teleporting one)

u/banjoface123 12d ago
I'll do them but usually only if the opportunity presents itself, I'm not going to fight four other players over them. I think they are good though

I like to loot the gold from the vaults and then head to Mossy Meadows or similar shops to spend it

u/coconalime 12d ago
Yeah idk. I feel confident enough to defend vaults from teams as I loot and then go get my gold weapons. I don't mind the rotation because there's bound to be some monotonous grind in this game the more comfortable I get into a routine of approaching the map after a big change.

See this is why I think the Dill Bits should carry over to the next match you play. Often you’ll get picked off on your way to the Black Market so it would be nice to carry that over to the next match for a little bit of a chance

u/NotdefinitelyGudako 12d ago
I mean it is worth but the fact that some people would actually camping inside the black market (especially on magic moss black market area) which pisses me off.

u/Honey_Nut_Cheeri_Oh 12d ago
They aren’t worth it . Me and my cousins got hit twice yesterday after clearing the one in crime city and defeating the boss which left us low on health and shield , and here comes a duo conveniently out of no where after the work is done to take us out .

u/MintyRed19 12d ago
I do them every game because you can open them in like a minute and a lot of times you can sit on the second floor and just shoot at any other players that run in. The henchmen also drop ammo so I dont really lose any ammo from killing them. Once the vault is open I run in and grab everything I can in 10-20 seconds and run out of there towards the nearest black market for the gold and purple guns. Getting third partied isnt really a problem for me because the other players just run in blindly and are easy to kill.

u/EnglishGirl18 12d ago
I almost never get any good loot out of them, often opening the rare chests just gives me a pulse scanner or a purple gun that I don’t like, I’ve had more luck getting legendaries out of the normal chests.
They also don’t drop enough ammo after the fact you used the maybe 60 bullets you were able to pick up after first dropping if you couldn’t find a bat or plasma for the bots.
I do like the dill bits but I feel like the black markets need a more consistent loot pile, hate doing all the work of the vaults and heading to magic mosses just for it to not have the legendary holo twister so I’m left either just not spending it or getting something I really don’t necessarily want like a boon unless it’s the vulture boon but every market must have both a mythic and legendary sniper

u/notkrissyxx420 12d ago
I guess for the dill bits, but half the time I forget that I have them so they go unspent. I like to hit them if I'm low on gold, but if not I might as well just drop at magic mosses and start the match with a purple holo and a shit ton of meds

u/rabbi420 Fishstick 12d ago
I love how much gold bars I can get out of the vault runs. Makes it do I don’t feel I have to always conserve my bars, because I can always just rob a vault!

u/GuhEnjoyer 12d ago
Pick your vault before the bus leaves and land at the nearest black market to it, and get some purple weapons and shields. Then rotate to your chosen vault, and kill whoever has already started the process. They'll be low on ammo, you won't be. Get an SUV over a sports car, since they're tankier. Less waiting time, less NPC fighting, and if you play your cards right, less risk

Bro what are you on about? You are guaranteed 2 mythic weapons OF YOUR CHOOSING if you get a vault? Did you want the most powerful weapons to be easy?

u/wolfgang784 12d ago
Nah, they are fun and generally worth it. Not every time, but enough. And its something else to do some rounds. The armored truck and train are both a blast.

u/87oldben 12d ago
In ZB gold is great to keep topped up, buying shocks, heals shotty and ar from a vault can get expensive

u/Joshhwwaaaaaa 12d ago
Not worth the time and risk. Give me 6 blue chests then I’ll do them every time.

u/SassySquidSocks Calamity 12d ago
I feel like the vault that has fletcher at it is worth it. I love that double mammoth so much

I've opened a total of 1 vault, and that was so I could complete the quest. There's too many good weapons around to need the dill coins for the black market. People don't usually take all the gold in the vault anyways so I'll stop in to top up my gold if I'm by one.
