How to get the Vault Key and find Bushranger in Fortnite

There is a hidden vault in the Nightshift Forest in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1. To open it, you’ll need to go on an adventure to find Bushranger and retrieve his vault key. However, he won’t give the key to just anyone!

You’ll need to provide him one of the new items in Chapter 6 Season 1 to change the Nightshift Forest into the “Dayshift Forest”.

Here’s how you can get the vault key, find Bushranger, and find the vault in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.

How to get the Vault Key in Fortnite Chapter 6

Before you try to open the huge vault in the Nightshift Forest, make sure it’s night time! If it’s day time, that means someone has already given Bushranger a sprite — and they’ve either opened the vault or they’re on their way there.

To get the Vault Key in Fortnite, follow the steps listed below:

1. Make sure it’s night time.
2. Collect a sprite.
3. Interact with the Bushranger, and select the “Show Item” dialogue option.
4. Receive the Vault Key.

Bushranger location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The Bushranger can be found at one of three Tanuki Statue locations in the Nightshift Forest. The Tanuki Statues can be found in the northwest, northeast, and south of the Nightshift Forest.

Vault location in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

The Vault can be found to the east of the large structure in the middle of the Nightshift Forest. Head down the stairs to find the entrance to the locked vault.

Inside, you’ll find rare chests, elemental chests, and a legendary Typhoon Blade — but be careful as there aren’t many places to hide from other players once your inside.
