Fortnite Renegade Vaults: How to Finish the Week 6 Chest Quest

Renegade Vaults are the smaller of the two secure rooms in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, and the current weekly quest wants you to pop open a few of them and dig through the chests inside. The catch is that you can’t just walk up and open one. You need a Rare Vault Key first, and each vault holds only a couple of chests, so a single break-in won’t finish the task on its own.

Quick answer: Find a Rare Vault Key from any chest, use it to open a Renegade Vault, and search five chests total across those vaults. Since each Renegade Vault contains at most two chests, you’ll need to open at least three different vaults to hit five.

What a Renegade Vault is and what’s inside

Renegade Vaults are the standard vaults on the map, and they open with a Rare Vault Key rather than the rarer Epic Vault Keycard used for the larger Sprite Vaults. Each one is small and self-contained, so it won’t take long to clear once you’re inside.

Inside a Renegade Vault you can expect one Rare Chest and one Sprite Chest, along with Slurp barrels to top off your shields. That two-chest ceiling is the reason a single vault can’t complete the quest. Every chest type counts toward the five you need, including regular chests, Rare Chests, and Sprite Chests. If you crack open a Sprite Chest along the way, there’s a chance it drops one of the new Holofoil Sprites.

All Renegade Vault locations

There are six Renegade Vaults spread across the map, most of them sitting at or just outside a named POI. Their spots are fixed and don’t rotate between matches. Keep in mind that landing directly on a vault at the start of a game does nothing, because you still need a Rare Vault Key in hand before the door will open.

Vault location	Nearby POI
Beneath the Mile High Retreat Supply Depot	Southeast of Lifty Lodge
Inside a bunker on the outskirts	Southeast of The Battlewoods
Underground down a dirt path	Southwest of Wonkeeland
Underground in the main building near the three pools	Southeast of Shaken Sanctuary
Lower levels of the gas station	Northeast of Sunken Shores
Basement of the Shady Eyes building	East of Heatwave Harbor

How to complete the Week 6 quest

Drop somewhere with a dense chest supply, ideally close to one of the six vault spots above. Wonkeeland and Frosted Flats both pack a lot of chests, which speeds up the key hunt.

Open every chest you pass and look for a Rare Vault Key. Keys spawn randomly inside chests and, more rarely, as floor loot, so you may have to search a handful before one shows up. Rare Vault Keys are fairly common, so this usually doesn’t take long.

Once you pick up a key, the map briefly pings the nearest small vault. Head straight for it, but check the distance first, because the closest door can sit on the far side of the map or inside the storm.

Use the Rare Vault Key on the vault door to unlock it, then go inside and search the chests. Every chest inside counts toward your total.

Repeat with more keys and more vaults until you’ve searched five chests. Because a Renegade Vault holds only two chests at most, plan on opening at least three of them, which likely means carrying the progress across multiple matches.

Tip: You’ll sometimes find another Rare Vault Key or even an Epic Vault Keycard sitting in a chest inside a vault, which can chain you straight into the next one without a fresh loot run.

Reward and how to confirm it’s done

The quest tracks your total chests searched inside Renegade Vaults and completes the moment you reach five. When it does, you’re credited with 12,000 XP toward the Chapter 7 Season 3 Battle Pass. If your counter isn’t moving, the usual reason is opening chests outside a vault, which don’t count, so make sure every chest you search is one you found after unlocking a Renegade Vault door.
