Vault Hunters Third Edition

Vault Hunters Third Edition is an action RPG modpack that builds its progression around exploring the dangerous, procedurally generated Vault dimension while players also develop a base and farms in the overworld. To begin a run, players gather Chromatic Iron and Vault Stone, fulfill the changing material requests of the Vault Altar to make a Vault Crystal, and use it to enter a Vault portal. Vaults vary in rooms, themes, and objectives, including Elixir collection and Scavenger hunts; players must complete objectives before the timer expires, facing increasingly difficult enemies in search of Vault Loot and Vault Gear. Vault-specific enemies range from large hordes and hard-hitting Assassins to Champions, Challenge Room Guardians, and powerful Elites, while defeating mobs can earn Soul Shards for purchases at the Black Market Table. A separate Vault-level system, talents, and abilities let players shape their character and tackle increasingly challenging, more rewarding runs. Progress also depends on research: Knowledge Dust can be made into Knowledge Stars, which unlock mod content across categories such as Storage, Power, Big Mods, and quality-of-life options, with each choice affecting the cost of later research. Collecting all 25 Artifacts unlocks the Final Vault, and defeating its final boss opens access to the Greed end-game loot. Players can run Vaults together and share mod research, and a Sky Vaults map offers an alternate sky-island start where Vaults provide the materials needed for altar progression.
