Dauntless To Replace Vault Rewards With New Reward Cache In April

Phoenix Labs will be retiring the traditional rotating vault format for season pass rewards in Dauntless in favor of a more permanent reward cache. The new reward cache will contain the same variety of items as the vault but will only be rotated out at the start of each new season.

“The Reward Cache holds all kinds of cool rewards – past season items like the Vault has held, new items you’ve never seen before, transmogs, emotes, dyes, consumables, keys, tokens – all the stuff you want. While new items will be added to the Cache throughout each Season, they won’t rotate out like in the Vault right now. Instead, the items will build up over the course of a few months before all rotating out for the start of a new Season. (You can think of a Season as about 2 Hunt Passes long. Each Escalation cycle was a ‘Season’).”

The downside is that earning season rewards will take much longer but can be sped up by subscribing to the Slayers Club, which offers several perks including double currency.

“Joining the Slayers Club is not required to access any part of the game, reach any milestone, or overcome any content,” explains developer Phoenix Labs. “It’s just a way to get where you’re going a little faster.”

The new system will arrive on April 8 along with new daily and weekly challenges that award the new seasonal currency. Unspent Vault Coins will be converted into the new currency which can be immediately used to purchase items from the reward cache. Hunt Passes and Elite Hunt Passes will still be available allowing players to earn armor sets with unique effects and other special additions.
