The Vault Room doesn’t open with a button or a prompt. It unlocks when you hit a certain point in the story, but the game doesn’t make it clear when that is. Here’s how to make sure you’re on track.
Ways to Try to Open the Vault
-
Reach around level 25
Most players unlock the vault at level 23 to 25. If you’re under that, just keep doing missions. Missions are generally what you should do, as you’ll eventually open the vault if you just continue playing hte game.
-
Complete all main missions available to you
If your board is empty, go sit in the office chair for a while. This often triggers the next story beat.
-
Deposit into the Piggy Bank, even if you haven’t finished it
We’ve even seen reports of the vault opening without finishing the pig, while others needed it full. Either way, it helps move the story forward. -
Watch for missions involving gold ingots
These usually show up shortly after the vault opens. If you’re getting ingot missions before you can access the vault, something’s stuck.
What If It’s Not Opening?
-
Sit in the chair for at least 10 seconds after finishing a mission
-
Store extra gold, evidence, or cash just in case a bug is holding things up
-
Restart the game and reload your save if you suspect something didn’t trigger
Some players also had to grind side jobs until the right one popped. The vault might be tied to a mission combo you haven’t seen yet.
Final Blurb
The Vault Room unlocks when the game decides you’ve earned it. That usually means level 25, a handful of piggy deposits, and a few moments of awkward sitting in a chair. When it finally opens, you’ll find gold ingots and late-game mission materials waiting. Until then, just keep cleaning.
