Head to the Fortnite Cold Blooded Vaults locations and defeat a boss to get a Vault Keycard, which will grant you access to a secure bunker filled with useful items, including powerful Heisted weapons. This can be difficult, as the Cold Blooded Boss will put up quite a fight, and depending on his current Fortnite Heat level, there may also be other Cold Blooded members and opponents following him. These chests were introduced as part of the Fortnite Most Wanted limited-time event, and as they’re integral to completing a series of related quests, it’s useful to know where they are. If you’re ready to get started, here’s where you can visit named locations that contain Fortnite Cold Blooded chests, and how to pick up a Vault map dropped by a defeated Cold Blooded boss.
Fortnite Cold Blooded Vaults Locations
For one of the most wanted quests, you only need to visit the named locations and you don’t need to find or open the Cold Blooded Vaults. Walk, drive or travel to these three locations:
- Broken slabs: At the southwest corner of the map.
- Defective Divisions: At the southeast corner of the map.
- Brutal Stronghold: At the northeast corner of the map.

It’s worth noting that you don’t have to visit all three of these locations in a single match, although it’s totally doable if you can grab one of the many Fortnite motorbikes or cars on the map.

Don’t mix these cold-blooded bosses with the other Fortnite bosses already on the island.
In the three Fortnite Cold Blooded Vaults locations listed above, you will also find a Cold Blooded Boss patrolling the area that must be defeated in order to acquire a Vault Keycard, an essential item for finding and unlocking the Cold Blooded Vault. Defeating the area boss and collecting their map will also complete another Most Wanted challenge.
There are no special tricks to defeating a Fortnite boss in cold blood other than flooding them with bullets and killing their minions to make things easier. They have very strong shields, so you’ll need a lot of ammo, but once you take them out, you can whittle down their health much faster. After defeating a boss, pick up the Vault Map they dropped and it will show a waypoint and an arrow that will lead you to the nearby Cold-Blooded Vault. Once you’re there, swipe the keycard through the terminal to unlock the door, then head inside to loot all the goodies. Hope you can put them to good use and get a Victory Royale.
