Some thoughts on the vaults.

So my main problem with the vaults is that it opposes one basic foundation of a BR which is the high risk-high reward principle. The probability of getting top tier loot should directly correlate to ...

Ok maybe we have different experiences from our games or maybe have I been just lucky. Out of the all the vaults that Ive looted lately, I would say 90% was totally unchallenged and rather risk free. I had ofc win the initial fight at the location I dropped but thats normal and isnt really connected to the risk of vaults. I just got the key during or after the initial fight and afterwards ran to the nearest vault and got myself a Golden armor among other goodies.

I maybe had to fight a squad for a vault once or twice which rather was a coincidence when two teams with keys happened to run towards the same unlocked vaults, but even then I think the risk of fighting one squad isnt enough to justify all the goodies thats usually in a vault (unless you are unlucky and get those "bad" vaults you mentioned =)

And I agree with you that ALL of those suggestions wouldnt work together. That would have been a little to much risk hehe =)

@Babbediboopi I’m definitely unlucky. No doubt about that. But I know at least in the beginning of being able to activate vaults that ppl were camping just to take others out. Either I’m in lobbies where ppl still have that mindset or your lobbies are just less ambush-y xD.

Your situation of 2 squads both with vault keys going to same vault I only had once XD. While looting them found another key and was like ‘ha! Another one’. But it’s usually just a squad that waits till the doors open or comes in after us. I always open the vaults looking back, because I know the moment I turn around some random arc star of thermite grenade comes flying in! Greedy ppl!
