Call of Duty Warzone: How to unlock Nakatomi Plaza Vault from Die Hard and claim tens of thousands in cash
Die Hard’s Nakatomi Plaza has made its way to Verdansk

This week, Activision rolled out a huge update to Call of Duty.

It’s called the ‘80s Action Heroes event, and adds new Operators – including Rambo and Die Hard’s John McClane.

But the central area of Warzone’s Downtown has also been replaced with Nakatomi Plaza.

It was the central location for the original Die Hard movie, and is Warzone’s biggest structure ever.

Since the update, it’s become one of the most dangerous places to drop into.

But the upper five levels are very complex, so there’s plenty of space to sneak around it.

Call of Duty has revealed its roadmap for the new update

One of the best parts of Nakatomi Plaza is the hidden vault within, which can be unlocked by enterprising players.

There are three different keycards that can open the vault – each with a different reward.

You only need one of the keycards to enter, so don’t panic if you can’t find several.

The vault is on the 31st floor, which you can access from floor 30 or floor 32 via stairs.

It has a giant golden logo on it, so you won’t miss the entrance.

Depending on the keycard you pick up, you’ll be able to claim different rewards – including tens of thousands in cash, or bonuses like perks and killstreaks.

One keycard comes from the Hostile Fire mission, which engages when you land on the roof.

You’ll near to disarm four C4 bricks to earn the keycard.

Another keycard comes from Unfinished Business – there are three contracts around the Plaza, available for five minutes only.

Simply pick it up, unlock all the crates, and claim your keycard.

And a third keycard comes from a mission called Deal Gone Wrong.

Go into the building and head downstairs to the underground car park.

You’ll find a white van on the lower level with a radio inside that begins the Deal Gone Wrong.

This involves defeating a couple of waves of bots and a special boss, which will then drop a keycard.

Take the keycard (or keycards if you’re on a skilled team) to the vault and claim your riches.
