Instead, you need to track down a vault key and then head to the nearest vault to earn your loot. Once there, simply insert your key into the lock and start opening chests - as long as another player hasn't gotten there first! There are, however, some vaults on the island which require two vault keys to open. For this reason, you should know how to find vault keys… How to get vault keys in Fortnite Vault keys can be found either in chests or sitting on the ground in certain places across the Fortnite map. It's important to note that not every chest contains a vault key, so don't be surprised if it takes you a while to find one. Vault keys can be found waiting on the ground. You can also earn vault keys by defeating players who are carrying one, because, just like their weapons, the vault key will drop after their death. There is, however, no way of knowing if a player is carrying a vault key, so keep your eyes out when an enemy falls. You could even lie in wait and murder someone just as they're opening a vault! Remember - some of the vaults hidden across the map can only be opened using two vault keys. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is here and with it comes a new Battle Pass!
