POI Overview
Explore the following points of interest based on key areas around Vault. Click “Learn More” at the bottom of each image for additional tips and insights on the POI.
Main Spawn Point: Garden (West)
The heavily fortified Garden spawn gives quick access to the Mural House and Hookah House. These dominant corner buildings offer excellent balcony viewpoints and ground views over the Driveway toward the west Atrium entrance. Get behind the low walls on the rear landings for a covered view back toward the Garden. This area will be key to holding down your objectives in Domination and Hardpoint.
Tactical Location: Atrium
The center point between the upper Gallery and the lower Vault, the Atrium features stacked verticality and multiple ground floor entrances into the wide hall. The columns provide good cover in the middle and the outer pathway offers a chance to reposition or change focus to the outer streets.
Tactical Location: Vault
Splash through the coveted Vault, its floors under water from the blast in the pool, mirroring the breach in the Atrium floor. A third way in is found through the double doors on the northwest exterior of the building. Below, battle through the Basement and inner Vault, separated by a narrow passage filled with rubble. Use the blast holes for a quick retreat from or an advance into the Atrium fracas.
Tactical Location: Driveway / Side Street
The western Driveway and northern Side Street bring long-ranged battles into play around the map’s perimeter. Long-ranged weapons can do a lot of damage down both lanes; the corner Mural House at their intersection provides heightened views over both. Use the scattered vehicles to minimize exposure. This path offers access into the main atrium, so locking down this lane is critical to minimize flanking enemies and holding down objectives.
Main Spawn Point: Pump Truck (East)
Pump Truck features open ground with two large vehicles and some scattered crates for cover. Pivot south to enter the Spa for a well-defended view over the Pool or climb the steps of the Trophy House for a grand view over Side Street. Straight ahead from the spawn, find double archways leading into the Veranda.

Tour the grounds: Vault features an abundance of mid- to long-ranged sightlines around its perimeter. Explore the ornately designed grounds while noting all the potential cover points along each side, both for your own protection and to check for pesky Operators trying to sneak a shot at your position.
View from the Gallery: The upper Gallery along the Atrium’s southern edge provides some of the best views on the map, including a direct look over the Atrium and the outer Pool. Prepare to defend your position against intruders looking to usurp the vantage point for their own use.
Anti-air support: Vault’s large perimeter makes it easy to pull back from the action and take a shot at enemy aerial streaks. Pair a Launcher with the Strategist Combat Specialty to earn bonus score for destroying enemy UAVs and the like.
Advanced Map Tips
Check Your Corners — Alpha (A)
The small corner buildings represent dominant defensive positions. Three of the four — all but the Spa — offer second story views over the ground floor. Set up inside them to cover the surrounding lanes and seek out enemy marksman doing the same. Set up a Prox Alarm on the entry door jam or wall to help warn of incoming enemies.
Poolside Pivot — Beta (B)
The Pool is a powerful pivot point offering quick access into the Vault, Spa, and up to Gallery with its commanding view over the Atrium. The Pool’s lowered elevation also helps conceal your position from enemies moving along the tiled perimeter path. Try jumping off the diving board for an added spring to your hop.
100 Meter Shot — Gamma (Γ)
The northern Side Street stretches nearly 100 meters from end to end, making it the perfect lane for testing out your long-ranged skills. Equip a high-powered optic to target enemies down the full length of it and keep your eyes peeled for enemies taking to the Trophy or Mural House power positions at either end.
Map Focused Loadouts
Deploy to the scene of the heist ready to slay with these suggested Loadouts for Vault.
Lightweight LMG
LMG, Enforcer Combat Specialty
LMGs are great weapons for Vault, able to perform along the map’s perimeter while remaining capable in the closer quarters of the central Atrium. Retain solid mobility with the combination of Gung-Ho and Double Time. Toss your Smoke Grenade to obscure your movements across the map’s longer lanes. Use your C4 as a trap, setting it off just as the enemy closes in on your position.
Pick Scavenger to stock up on long streaks and activate Signal Lure when you’re dug in for the chance to earn more score toward your next streak. By activating the Enforcer Combat Specialty, you’re further rewarded with a boost to your movement speed and health regen rate after eliminating enemies.
Sniper Support
Sniper Rifle, Strategist Combat Specialty
Support your team and earn non-lethal Scorestreaks fast using this Sniper Rifle Loadout that dominates at range and earns extra score for downing enemy aerial streaks via the Strategist Combat Specialty.
With the Prepper Wildcard you get two Field Upgrades, the Sleeper Agent to fool enemy Operators as you set up your shots combined with the Spring Mine to defend against incoming enemies. Double up on area control with the Blast Trap as this class is highly vulnerable at close range. When played right, however, the risk is well worth the reward.
Versatile Warrior
Marksman Rifle / SMG, Recon Combat Specialty
Deploy with a powerful Marksman Rifle and fast-firing SMG for a versatile class that slays all over the map. Stun enemies with your Shock Charge and surprise them with the instant blast of the Impact Grenade. Plan your upcoming fights more easily via Forward Intel and stay off AI targeting systems with Cold-Blooded.
The War Cry Field Upgrade is perfect for speeding up your movement along the map’s long perimeter, its health regen speed boost helping to top you off after taking damage. Consider equipping Suppressors on your weapons to get the most out of Ghost.
