The Season 3 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Warzone brings back several surprises on the Verdansk map—including a brand-new Easter egg involving the Downtown bank vault. This hidden objective rewards players with a huge pile of cash, giving you a serious head start in Plunder or classic battle royale modes.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to complete the Verdansk bank vault Easter egg, including where to find the Hardware Gift Card and how to unlock the vault using the Diamond Bit Drill.
Step 1: Locate the Hardware Gift Card
Your first task is to get the Hardware Gift Card, which is required to unlock the next phase of the Easter egg.
- Location: Head to the Downtown Bank.
- Look for a Biometric Scanner inside the building. The scanner’s spawn location is random each match.
- Common spawn areas:
- Third-floor offices
- Downstairs near the vault entrance
- Occasionally right next to the vault itself
How to get it:
- Interact with the scanner.
- A Hardware Gift Card will drop to the ground.
- Only one card will drop per match, so act fast.
Step 2: Buy the Diamond Bit Drill
Now that you have the Hardware Gift Card, it’s time to put it to use.
- Go to any Buy Station on the map.
- Use the card to unlock a special purchase: the Diamond Bit Drill.
Important: This drill does not go directly into your inventory. You’ll need to manually pick it up from the Buy Station interface after the purchase.
Step 3: Unlock the Bank Vault
Head back to the Downtown bank, and make your way to the vault.
- Enter the bank lobby.
- Go downstairs to find the vault door.
- Interact with the door to place the Diamond Bit Drill.
The drill will activate, and after a short wait, the vault will swing open.
Step 4: Collect Your Cash
Inside the vault, you’ll find multiple piles of cash waiting for you.
- The total amount may vary, but many players are reporting 100k or more.
- Great for getting your Loadout early or dominating in Plunder.
Final Tips
- This Easter egg can be done in most modes: Battle Royale, Plunder, or casual matches.
- Use the cash to:
- Buy your Loadout
- Revive teammates
- Gain a massive edge early in the game
