Individuals who are interesting in opening these locked locations will need to acquire a red access card. These cards were added to the Battle Royale in a previous update. However, they were not able to be used for anything which left many players curious as to what their purpose was. Now, we know that the red access cards allow players to open the vaults that are found around Verdansk. 

Players who are able to open any of the vaults will find an area filled to the brim with a variety of loot that includes multiple legendary loot crates. There is no doubt that teams who take the time to open one of the vaults will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts in terms of powerful loot.
