How to Open The Secret Brutal Boxcars & Canyon Crossing Vaults in Fortnite (Secret Vault Location)
South of the Brutal Boxcars is a cave that is blocked by the massive boulders (indestructible), hiding a vault. You cannot smash through with the pickaxes or weapons. So, look for the broken aircraft with the mounted cannon nearby.
Interact with the cannon to hot-wire it. Next, fire at the rocks to clear the path. There, you will find 4 to 5 chests, hidden Gnome referencing the old Fortnite quest, and Slurp barrels for the shields.
Your timing is important here, as the other players might ambush you while you use the cannon. Make sure to land early, as the loot in the vault can give you a competitive advantage. But do not forget to stay alert. The spot is the magnet for the opportunists.
How to locate and access Cannon Crossing vault?
East of the Canyon Crossing, follow a river till you can spot the cliffside cave. It is partially submerged in the water. Unlike Boxcars vault, this needs some old-fashioned labor. So, you will have to use the pickaxe to break the entrance rocks.
After you are inside, loot the multiple chests and the Slurp barrels. You will also see many rubber ducks. The ducks will not offer rewards, but it's a fun callback to the Quack Pack Back Bling of Fornite from years ago.

Why are the vaults worth an effort?
Both Secret Brutal Boxcars and Canyon Crossing Vaults come with high-tier loot. They do not have much competition as most of the players overlook the same. The Brutal Boxcars vault can be a bit trickier, but the persistence gets rewards. However, the Canyon Crossing is easier to access.
If you are looking for better gear early on in the match, the vaults will offer a major advantage. Also, the Fortnite Easter eggs will add a layer of fun for longtime fans.
