Finding encrypted vaults is even worse than the 5 minute outpost cooldown

[Jhemp12]

I have to play as a character that I don't like. I find one then have to run around for 5 minutes spamming my ecive until it finally starts making the noise again. People say that more than one can be spawned in a world at once but i've never seen it happen. I do the vault hunting on private so I know other people aren't getting them. There needs to always be atleast 1 of them up and your ecive needs to always make the noise that leads you to them. This activity is so freaking boring, how can anyone defend this. You may as well defend the 5 minute outpost cooldown and staring at walls with Sharen if you're going to defend the vault crap.

Outposts don't have 5min cooldowns anymore

right but these vaults apparently do because they only seem to spawn once every 5 minutes usually in a location i've ran across 3 times already spamming my ecive so I know it wasn't already there and I just missed it. Either the ecive noise isn't working right or only 1 vault can be spawned in a zone at a time and it spawns on a 5 minute cooldown after one is found. This is even worse than the 5 minute outpost cooldown. They changed that, now they need to change this.

There are websites with maps pinning where many of the vaults spawn, not all locations, but enough.

From my experience, there are always 2 on each map per region. The spawn of the bots are almost always in the same spot. So I would Loot one, TP out of the area and back in and it would always be there again. There will always be one nearby a teleport pad and that's the one I would tp in and out for. Once you get the hang of it. It becomes a cake walk.

It's actually faster to load into another place and then come back. Usually you can get them around the same area then. And if you have keys/breakers for both hard and normal mode, you can just keep jumping between them opening vaults within a small area.

It's only annoying when you're looking for vaults in areas you've never looked for them before, but once you know the spots it gets way faster.

I use those maps and run back and forth between those areas spamming my ecive and there always seems to be only 1 up at a time on a 5 minute respawn cooldown.

you can reset the zones you don't need to wait your creating your own suffering.

I know but this is a problem. It was the same with outpost. You could reload into the zone and get a shorter outpost cooldown but thankfully, they listened and lower the cooldown. Now they need to listen and do something about the vault spawn cooldown.

You could reload into a zone and get a lower Outpost cooldown too. That's not the solution to this problem. The solution is to lower the vault spawn cooldown so there is always atleast 1 up in a zone at a time. They need to fix this problem the same way they fixed the outpost cooldown problem. I shouldn't have to reload into a zone to avoid waiting 5 minutes.

I think they want to keep vaults a scavenger hunt. Even with 1 minute cooldowns on outposts you're still not guaranteed a mat each time. If vaults were constantly resetting you'd be able to abuse them every time with Enzo.

What you're asking for makes sense, and it'd make things easier but, I doubt they'll do that.

[semeku]

Enzo should have another hidden benefit of being able to map the Encrypted Vaults after you've discovered them once. Meaning all of their random locations spotted/opened once.
So when you Ecive search once in that map it'll ping them all on your map. (pin them on the map)

Made a post previously, but why is there zero visual clue on where the vaults are? One, the pinging is poorly done because you'll get a positive if it's literally anywhere within the 180 degree sweep in front of you. Two, it does a poor job of helping you hone in even when you're close.

Three, how tf does anyone with a hearing impairment find them when sound is the ONLY way to locate them?

[jandraelune]

Look for vaults in a private map, that way you don't run into empty spawns because someone else beat you.

While finding them is tedious I hate farming code breakers more.
I am constantly running out of them and there is no good way to target farm them in good quantities as far as I know

Mission Monsters. Find a mission that has loads that spawn, just repeat it. You don't need to complete the mission if waves keep spawning as the timer keeps going.
