Based on official season footage, players currently have three primary methods for breaching vaults:

  • Utilize the new Rocket Drill to tunnel through vault walls
  • Employ the Plasma Burst Rifle to cut through reinforced doors
  • Detonate the fresh Meltanite TNT explosives to blow entrances open

Additional entry methods will likely emerge, as past seasons incorporated keycards or special quests for access. While brute force currently appears the most reliable approach, we'll update with alternative strategies when the season launches on February 21.
