With Season 3, Apex Legends has received a new map, which naturally also holds new secrets. However, the probably best secret of the map cannot be utilized yet.
What is this feature? It concerns the secret loot rooms that were seen as a brief preview in the gameplay trailer for Season 3 of Apex Legends. These contain a lot of high-quality loot that players can currently see through closed doors.
The team that can secure such a chamber has a good chance of winning the round – no matter whether they are already leading or need to catch up from far behind. Therefore, the chambers are one of the innovations that could drastically change Apex Legends.
How do you open such a treasure room? The doors to the rooms are locked and cannot be blown open or destroyed with the EMP of the new legend Crypto. You need a keycard to open them.
This card can be obtained from the new loot bots that are flying around on World’s End. The drones carry loot boxes that change colors, from blue to gold and finally to purple.
This indicates the loot contained if you shoot down the drone. If you snag a golden box, you get legendary loot (Tier 4) and with a bit of luck also one of the keycards. This then opens one of the three doors distributed across the map.
No Keycards – Countdown on the Doors
Why has no one opened the vaults yet? At the moment, there are no reports about what exactly can be found in these chambers. Apparently, no one has been able to enter them so far.
Players report that although they have shot down many of the loot bots, they have never received a keycard. However, a countdown is supposed to be displayed above the doors, counting down slowly.
When does the countdown end? The end time of the countdown has been set to October 9 at 7:00 PM German time. What exactly will happen then is still uncertain. Many players and fans suspect that from then on the keycards will become obtainable and the vaults can be opened.
