Loot keys will be dropped by high-level enemies regularly. These are the enemies that appear as a skull on your minimap. Killing Manglers, Abominations, and Amalgam are the only ways to get loot keys to drop.

Loot keys, just like actual weapons in Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode, are sorted into tiers. They are green, blue, purple, and gold in ascending order. The higher the tier, the better the reward you’ll get from the vault or armory. 

Players can only hold one key at a time, so if you’re visiting the vault and want to make your trip count, be sure you’ve got the highest tier key available for the job.

3. Cracking the Vault

In Liberty Falls, you’ll find the vault that takes the loot keys within the bank at the town center. You need to locate the three two-digit numbers scattered around town to unlock it.

They are distinct and written on sticky notes, their locations change every match. The common locations are:

  • Under a bucket at the bowling alley
  • Behind the counter of the comic book store
  • On a desk outside the vault itself

Once you’ve gathered all three codes, memorize the digits and their order on the sticky notes, as they’ll need to be entered sequentially. If entered incorrectly, you’ll be locked out for a short duration.

4. Choosing the Loot Box

Opening the vault by entering the codes initiates a 45-second countdown. During this time, you can explore and collect loot.

Not all the loot boxes are open, and only specific safe deposit boxes are accessible. You can tell which, as indicated by their faint outlines.

Place your loot key to open a box and access its rewards. The rewards range from weapons to killstreaks, which can provide crucial survival boosts during rounds.

When exiting the vault, an explosion clears zombies from your path, offering a brief moment of respite and the time for you to run away.
