One of the things I enjoy about Fortnite is the mini-games within the battle royal. You don’t just have to fight other players or NPCs, you can do a whole bunch of things that make Fortnite as whole fun and exciting, like finding a shopping cart. One of the things to unlock in Fortnite is a vault located in Lavish Lair. Follow along if you want to where how to unlock it

Fortnite: How to unlock the Lavish Lair vault

Before knowing how to unlock the Lavish Lair vault in Fortnite, you need to know where it is first. Thankfully it’s easy to find and labeled. If you’re dropping in, make your way to the northern part of the map. If you’re already down, still head north. Use the map below to get your bearings right.

If you drop into this spot at the start of the match, be aware that this Lavish Lair is a POI. This means, there can be a ton of high-level goodies. And you know what happens when an area has good equipment? More players will descend upon it. So make sure you’re fast and quick before attempting to open to vault.

This next part is for both players who have landed at the lair, and who have made their way towards it. Even if there are no players around, you’ll still have to deal with many NPCs guarding the place. Make sure you dispatch all of them because one of the NPCs holds a medallion to enter the vault. 

Opening the vault

Be careful here, when you pick up the medallion, your location gets highlighted, and enemy players can run up on you. Once you have the medallion, head to the south side of the lair, and jump off the balcony. You should see a hallway with the vault at the end of it. As you enter the hallway, to the right of the vault there will be a lock to interact with if you have the medallion. After that, the door is open and you have access to some pretty strong gear. 

Just don’t die soon after.
