The Vault

The Vault is a bonus instance, located in the Joker's Funhouse and accessible through the On Duty Menu after level 6. Players can access the Vault once during a certain period based on the type of account:


 * Free to Play: Once per week
 * Premium: Once every three days
 * Legendary: Once per day.

The Vault must be visited once to complete the Vault Ambush! mission.

Gameplay
Joker's vault is filled with presents that fall from the ceiling over a short period of time. Breaking open the presents (with 1 hit each) earns the player a prize. Once all the presents are opened, the Vault run ends and the player is prompted to leave. There is no actual time limit, despite the Joker's taunting to that effect. While the prize loot that appears is up to random chance, it is usually appropriate to a player's level; lower levels will rarely receive Epic (purple) loot or Marks, but higher levels do receive lower-level prizes like Uncommon (green) loot.

Balls of various sizes and bombs also drop randomly, causing some frustration as they push players around and obscure vision. Those were completely removed with game update 26 and slightly changed, reintroduced with game update 31. Now, the presents, also can contain little Jokandroids, mostly drop, for Villan characters.

Prizes
Every present will drop a small amount of cash depending on player level, with a small chance for Uncommon or Unique style tokens and an even smaller chance for a flavor trinket or other forms of currency.

All prizes can`t be traded, sell and they are not account-shareable.

Unique Styles
Clothing merchandise featuring a DC character's logo. Colors are locked, that is not changeable by the player.

The most common rewards aside from cash are various style items. These include:

Marks
Since game game update 47 marks drop as follows:
 * Tier 1 to 6: 1 Mark of Victory

Extra Visits
When players reach level 9 with any newly created character and after they complete the Reseach and Development mission, Ambush Bug will sent a consumable Vault Ticket to the player, which is included in the Vault Ambush! mission. When consumed, it will give the player a one-time extra visit to the Vault. This is currently the only item capable of doing this and is a one-time bonus for every character.

The Vault can be accessed through the On-Duty menu at any time, and you will be returned to the location you were at when you entered.

The Multi-Use Vault Tickets hinted at by Ambush Bug are available via the in-game Marketplace button as a micro-transaction available for 100 Sony Station Cash (SC) per Single Use Vault Ticket, or 400 SC for a 5 use Multi-Use Vault Ticket.
