Guaranteed vault coordinates

Vault coordinates are found in Secret SHIELD bases on specific maps. When players are near a hidden SHIELD base, a radar ping will appear on the HUD. Follow it to the hidden switch to access the underground room. In the underground room, grab all the chests and the Vault Coordinates item, which unlocks an additional side mission on your War Table. 

The player will be able to raid the vault in a mission called “Desert Vault”, “Forest Vault”, etc. There are many good rewards in the vaults — so if they want to farm them or complete Hero Card Challenges requiring secret vaults, this is how. The following are three guaranteed vault coordinate locations.

Day Of The Remains (Pacific Northwest): Go left from the start. There are two SHIELD caches in this mission. Vaults and Elite Vaults are a great way to farm gear on higher difficulty levels. However, remember to increase the challenge rating for a better chance at finding the valuable gold chest.


Our Town (Utah Badlands): Go to the far back-left, then enter a cave past the police cars to find the radar signal after exiting through the other side of the cave.


Stark Realities (Pacific Northwest): Go left from the start until you find a radar signal. Easy legendary gear, resources, units, XP

This farming method is for the post-campaign. After completing the story, players will unlock additional “Avengers Initiative” missions. The best end-game farming mission may be “Day of The Remains”, which is unlocked during the “Reigning Supreme” quest chain. This mission is always available, can be repeated infinitely, and scales to match your level +5. That means the gear that drops in this mission will always be +5 stronger than what players currently have.

Note: Play on Challenge IV for the best possible drops, but it is not required. If you prefer playing at a lower difficulty, this map will still provide lots of drops. 

Players can repeat this mission as many times as desired, and there is no important strategy. The mission can be completed at any level, by any hero. The mission contains lots of resources, caches, Elite enemies, and side quests to complete. Remember to press [Up] on the D-pad to view all the nearby chests and marked side quests. The more of these you complete, the more rewards you earn. The following list are some of the rewards to look out for in this mission.

Elite Bounty Side Quest: x1 Upgrade Module, x1 Legendary / Epic Gear
Main Reward Chest: x1 Vault Coordinates Key, x1 Legendary / Epic Gear, x15 Uru, and random resources

SHIELD Cache: Go left from the start to find a hidden SHIELD Cache. You can get two Vault Coordinates Keys from this mission.


Gold Chest: AIM Facility Side Quest – x75 Units, x1 Upgrade Module, x1 Legendary / Epic Gear, Random Comic / Collectible Drop


Silver Chest: AIM Facility Side Quest (requires Iron Man or Black Widow hacking) — x45 Units, x1 Legendary / Epic Gear


Mission Completion: Possible to get x3 levels worth of XP if you complete all side quests and clear all Elite enemies. Always get x1 Rare Pattern and x1 Legendary / Epic Pym Gear.

This mission contains many Elite enemies that will drop Epic / Legendary gear, 10 Bronze Chests, 1 Silver Chest, 1 Gold Chest, 1 Reward Chest, and each main objective is worth a large XP bonus. Successfully complete all side quests for extra rewards, and visit the SHIELD Cache to get two Vault Coordinate Keys –- one from the SHIELD Cache, and one from the reward chest at the end of the mission. It only takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The more you learn the layout, the faster you will be able to get through every step, complete the side quests, and check the bronze chest spots.

Status effects

Gear can add special status effects to your articles. There are six different types of status effects —- some have an obvious effect, while others do not. The following is a list of all special status effects.

Cryo Freeze: If an enemy takes enough Cryo damage, they freeze, slowing movement and decreasing the frequency of all actions. Inhibits many defensive abilities altogether.


Cosmic Ionization: If an enemy takes enough Cosmic damage, they become ionized, incurring an increase in damage from incoming attacks while simultaneously boosting Hero willpower.


Electro Shock: If an enemy takes enough Shock damage, they become shocked, incurring increased damage from incoming attacks and a greater chance that Critical Attacks will occur.


Gamma Poisoning: If an enemy takes enough Gamma damage, they come poisoned, incurring additional intermittent damage that they spread to nearby enemies. Being defeated while suffering this status effect causes a large Gamma explosion.


Pym Shrink: If an enemy takes enough Particle damage, the Pym Particles cause them to shrink. While reduced in size, enemies deal less damage and take more damage from all attacks.


Plasma Burn: If an enemy takes enough Plasma damage, they burn and are intermittently interrupted from attacking. Some enemies will also be staggered by this effect.
