Opening the vault in TranZit, the sprawling zombies map in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, is a key step in accessing some of the map’s unique features and benefits. It’s not a complex procedure, but it’s certainly not intuitive. To open the vault, you need to use a grenade. More specifically, throw a grenade directly at the vault door, which is located in Town, a central location on the map. Let’s break this down further.
Locating the Vault
The vault is situated inside the bank building in Town. Once you’ve made your way to town, look for the building with the prominent “[BANK]” sign above the door. Head inside. The vault door is directly visible; it’s large and metal, typically placed between a couple of desks. This is what you need to target.
Using a Grenade
To open the vault door, you need to use a grenade. Any type of grenade will work, so it doesn’t matter if you have a frag grenade or a Semtex. The goal is to throw the grenade directly at the metal vault door. It’s important to stand back a safe distance after tossing the grenade; you don’t want to get caught in the explosion.
Once the grenade detonates, the vault door will be blown open, revealing a small interior. This is where you can access the safe deposit boxes.
