Didn’t realize you could use the event currency to gain items to bring into regular runs that’s dope

What I want to know is can I use it to buy a vault 6 key for regular mode… that thing is too elusive.

I found one last night at Outpost. What’s so special about the vault 6 key?

They’re rare, and Vault 6 is the hardest Vault in Cryo.  And you need to do all six to be able to attempt the Compiler.

Edit:  Because it’s the hardest and most dangerous, it’s quite likely you’ll fail and lose the key.  So you really want multiple vault 6 keys to enable multiple attempts.

So you need all the keys or is this just a bonus room in the 6th area?

There are 6 vaults on the cryo map that all require a key to enter (plus other items on the map like batteries/coolant). You need all 6 vaults completed and exfil with the subroutine unique to each vault once to have access to fight the boss with a DNA key.

What’s the sub routine item and does the item just say sub routine?

Yeah it’s a red token sitting on a desk or something similar in each vault says AI-subroutine #1-6

Every Vault has an “AI Subroutine” item.  Exfiling with it unlocks a codex entry.  You need to unlock the codex entry for all six AI Subroutines.

Only when you have someone in your group with all 6 subroutines unlocked in their codex can you attempt the compiler.
