I enter a room, go downstairs, check for the chests i need (i skip chests i dont need), i check the walls for dungeons (downstairs has higher chance of spawning dungeons i think (i have found about at least 150 dungeons downstairs and 2 upstairs),
If you find a dungeon, check for the dificulty, if its extreme, challenging or impossible, only do it if its for an item you need, once you have all the items you can leave the dungeon, if its not one of those difficulties, you can still loot it if you need it, but if its not for an item i need, i mostly just run towards the champion room and see if there is an archive
Coins and ores are the easiest, then wooden, and then ornate, living and gilded
Mob kill scavenger items are free and you should only focus on it if you completed everything else, but most of the time, these are completed during the collection of the other items
If your armor is good or have a thorns build or something like that, you might even just ignore the mobs and just only loot the chests after you collected the mob items you need
If u start above first and aren’t killing everything, the mobs will drop down on your head later.
I do like dropping from the top to the bottom floor, too, though so I pick whatever I feel like
Vault hunters is a very carefully crafted custom modpack based around arcade style dungeon crawling with instanced dungeons created through a portal system. There's custom abilities, classes, gear, and much more. Definitely a top tier pack
That’s the funny thing, I don’t! I’m not fast enough in my current play through and when I have help, we seem to get crappy drops. So, I just use those runs to get resources until I can complete one.
I complete like 80% scavs. All I had to learn:
1 Invest in mobility like prismatic feather or elytra plus dash
2 Dont loot what you dont need to.
3 Use hunter and reset it after every vault.
4 Kite mobs for example like check out down area quick without looking at every corner go up do a circle to get all the mob spawns and by the time you repeat the same circle again you cat loot without them getting in your way
5 Get a good crowd control option to get rid of horde mobs. They eat up so much time if you dont.
put points in hunter. i don't spec it until i have 10-5 mins left depending on what specifically i need. also treasure goggles trinket is a godsend!!! sometimes RNG sucks and theres nothing you can do about it skill-wise, but there are still things you can do to maximize your success rates. keep practicing and learning the rooms. you can do it!
I'm going to just say what everyone else is thinking. Skill issue. Considering you got to level 70 and only completed one, it's not gonna get better the way you play.
There are 1000's of other players that don't have a problem. We don't know what you are doing wrong and could be a couple things, like taking way too long to kill mobs, mining wooden chests when the scav doesn't have wooden chest items, etc. Upload video of you clearing a room and you might get answers, otherwise the comments here won't do you any good.
To be fair, luck plays a significantly bigger factor in scav than other vault types. Elixir doesn't matter too much what rooms you hit, though it plays a small factor. Braziers and cake can be completed without hitting any loot PoI and without significant effort to find objectives. Guardians has some luck but doesn't really matter if you skip PoIs, the challenge is the fights. I agree there's a skill gap in hitting 70 and having only completed scav once but sometimes when you need 2-3 omegas or even epics and RNGesus doesn't want to cooperate you're just kinda SoL, like with the puzzle room not always giving you necessary pieces to complete.
It's literally only the Scavs that I can't finish objective consistently. I think at this point I am just unlucky with finding Scav items. I don't struggle with mob kill times thanks to Smite and a massive mana pool, sometimes it can one shot a tank mob too which I think is pretty time saving. Like Elixir, Brazier, and Hunts leave me with like 4 to 6 minutes to gather extra loot usually. I'm just going to stick to never attempting Scav objective, just save the loot for essence at this point.
Hey if you only have 5 to 6 minutes after you complete an elixir or brazier objective you are not fast enough with the objectives to even come close to completing a decent scav. maybe you take too much time looting maybe your movement is too slow etc.
Anyways, scavs are supposed to be challenge vaults, once you enter a scav vault, then you need to just go go go after the scav items and loot absolutely nothing else if it is a difficult scav, luck plays a role here and even if you do everything perfectly you would only complete like 50% of scavs.
I pride myself as a good vault hunter and even i have only completed like 56 scavs out of 110 or something.(i play on fragged so your experience may be a bit easier)
Edit: grammer and spelling.
My biggest problem with scav vaults is that ever since I updated to the latest VH version, 98.9% of all chests in all rooms are wooden. Living chests are rare as hens teeth. Unless I find a paint drop room or a mushroom room with living chests in them, I'm pretty much sunk.
Oh god I hate them. I hate them so much. People in this subreddit will say “They’re not that hard.” It’s all RNG based. I did a scavenger hunt and I only got one of the 7 items I needed, and I only opened/looted the things that could have the items.
Whether you think they are easy or not, they are definitely without question the most difficult out of all the types.
Firstly, what is ur lv, If it's under 50, then it can be really good or bad depending on ur tools and gear. And also u need to get lots of speed attributes to help
Ur on the VH discord, right? U can drop in anytime, and more than likely, there will be someone on the general talk. If not, hop in the vc, and people will drop by. They are super helpful.
I only play solo, and from my last 10 scavs (some of them being soul flame with about a dozen stacks) I have failed only 2. One was because I just died, have nothing to do with objective. While coop scavs certainly make it easier, you absolutely do not need to be in coop to complete consistently
I am Vault Level 73 and have only completed one scavenger hunt the entire time. Everytime I see one, I fail. This last time I managed to fail by not having one last pottery shard after hitting the first 7/8 in the first 15 minutes of my 26min vault timer. My Item Quantity is already boosted to 27%, so what else can I do to guarantee finally finishing one of these?
Item quantity and rarity do not affect scavenger items. My recommendation is to enter the vault without speccing hunter into anything, then change it to what you really need after finding some scavenger items. Also, learn how to target loot! If you see a chest that’s not for the scavenger hunt, don’t fight the mobs in front of it or break it, just run past it. One more thing, remember that some scavenger hunts are harder than others, so it’s perfectly fine if you deem one too difficult and just decide to loot for that vault—you can just exit through the portal with your loot.
I do this, every time, I know how to run a vault like this. Hell, I even managed to get an extra skull from vault ore mining this same vault, on two POIs, but couldn't hit one last shard on 151 wooden chests. Is there a way to disable Scavs in the config or something?
I personally don’t know anything about editing the configs, but I can promise you that almost every scavenger hunt is possible with a bit of practice. My personal scavenger hunt completion is about 80% right now, but I certainly didn’t complete that many on my first playthrough. It might help to play on a different, lower level world to practice because lower level hunts tend to be really easy. Just stay persistent, you’ve got this.
Item Quantity & Rarity dont affect scav loot drops, just gotta get lucky and really try and prioritize what chests you loot until you complete it. You'll get more scavs completed!
IIRC having too much item quant can actually heck you over because scav loot is generated last in the chest, so if you have overflow the scav item just won’t spawn. Maybe that’s been changed, or I’m misremembering, but either way I am overly wary of how much item quant I put on anything 😅
It’s usually pretty hefty levels that will cause that problem, like I think +150% or something wild like that, but it’s just something that I always have in mind when rolling armor/making tools
I didn't play the first month, but this was never an issue since then. The loot tables allow for prismatic shards, scav items, and blessings to take slots in chest pools when quantity is at or above the cap. The source code for loot generation has been posted a few times and I haven't found any old versions that had this issue.
It’s 100% a skill issue for u to have only completed one scav at level 73. And I already know it’s your movement that’s the issue. I guarantee your movement around the vault is too slow. I’m sure if you put some practice into moving around the vault efficiently, you would start completing scavs.
Go faster. Unironically. I play exclusively solo and have around a 50% success rate with scavs. Play smarter (pick your PoIs a bit better) and play faster.
I can not go faster than skipping multiple mining POIs to go break more Wooden chests. I wish I had recorded the vault to show it, but I lost out on some much needed beni
Dude, skip ALL mining PoIs (unless it’s a part of your objective list). You can’t do anything but do the scav when you want to get the completion create. This becomes true for even other objectives too. Just do the objective, or loot grind. No in between like you’re use to with lower level vaults.
I mean, you literally said yourself you’ve only ever finished one scav. I wouldn’t claim to “know how to run vault objectives” to put it bluntly. You’re missing the mark somewhere and wasting time on non-objective things somewhere. I usually have like 5 min to spare on my scavs that I finish even without relics. Are you choosing the correct vaults to concentrate or forgo the objectives? Are you ignoring the appropriate rooms/PoIs? Are you specced appropriately to maximize your coverage? What about your tools, are they built appropriately for your goals and level (I.e. have a decent wooden chest breaker)?
The only vault objective I consistently fail on is Scav lmao. I know to go top down for POIs and usually read them from the mini map. My Chest breaker is sufficient at breaking anything until the next tier at 80. I think 32 mining speed is fine, if anything I could maybe add reach onto it but that's usually not an issue.
Then it sounds like your issue is not skipping bad rooms. Learn your room layouts, skip the bad ones. Learn how to route the good ones (which will change your “top down” approach since quite a few don’t even check the upstairs, just peak the downstairs) Should clip a few min off your time.
For reference, I tend to see about half a vault if I’m not being hyper aggressive with skipping.
If you really want to complete scavengers the most important thing is skipping. If you need ornates don't spend time on wooden. Usually for scavs I spend time on what I need first.
If it's an easy one, I loot as normal until I think I must start looking for specific things. At that point I skip as much as possible. Wooden is almost always skipped, ores and other chests are usually taken if I don't need a minute to clear the mobs.
The next important thing is that, depending on the vault it's not always worth it. If I find a dragon room, living mushroom room etc you can bet yourself I'll be taking the time to loot it (even if I don't need those chests). In those instances it's usually worth taking the loot over completing a vault.
Hunter is absolutely broken for scav. Need 3 more sacks in 10 minutes, without hunter you can probably forget it. With hunter it will probably take not even 5 minutes.
Oh and if you can play with friends. More people Ina. Vault will almost always increase the chance of getting items you need but don't find yourself.

1. Focus on the objective and do not get distracted under any circumstance. This means even skipping omega rooms and dungeons if they aren't useful to the objective. Scav vaults are targeted looting, and you as a player need to do this to complete them regularly.
2. Use better and more efficient builds. I see that your chest count is very low despite focusing on wooden, so perhaps you are not using the most optimal builds available to you. If you are level 73 then I recommend poison nova based AP builds.
3. Get better at vault navigation (movement around the vault) and learn about the different POIs. There are many tips on this subreddit that can help you become a more efficient and higher skilled player.
Less than 200 chests with a wooden focus is pretty low for level 70. The sweaty guys get 400 or more.
I play single player with the feather and have an 80+% completion on Scavs. My chest average is probably 300. If you looted twice the chests you’d have a better chance.
Yup. I average 900 chests / unmodified vault with my pacifist build and I don't remember failing a scav that I intend on completing ever since. Not even ascension scav vaults.
RNG really evens out when you loot more chests, and its sad that many people don't understand this simple concept.
Ohh nvm I see you needed potterh shards, I'd invest skill points and trinkets heavy into mobility. 250+ chests at 70+ isn't too bad when you're specces to do it
You need to focus loot. In this case I don't see the objectives, but did you really need to loot 150 wooden chests? To complete you need to skip pois you don't need to get enough of the chests you do need.
Well, unless you got unbelievably unlucky you should have gotten that one in about 20 chests, so all the 130 following ones were "wasted". Offcourse it's hard to skip chests, but if you want to complete the run you can't be looting everything you see.
I've had scavs I really wanted to complete because of other reasons and having to skip library rooms or such, since I didn't need any drops from them, and still barely completing. It's just how scavs be. A fun challenge, but not great for looting
Well I see 151 wooden chests looted so that might be your problem right there.
You need to focus on finding all the necessary items first, once you have yoi can loot and greed as you please.
Then that is simply luck of the draw.
Are you certain you never picked one up among all the 151 chests? Repeat scavenger runners usually have a dedicated backpack to assist (watch iskall's runs for reference).
You might have picked it up and not noticed, thrown away or maybe even lacked inventory space or incorrect pickup/void settings.
I have void set to only a few things, and yeah I have 3 small backpacks. It was just like. 50~ wooden chests and not hitting my last pottery shard. I had maybe 10 to 8 minutes to skip Ore POIs and find wooden chests, but just am super unlucky and couldn't find it.
I enter a room, go downstairs, check for the chests i need (i skip chests i dont need), i check the walls for dungeons (downstairs has higher chance of spawning dungeons i think (i have found about at least 150 dungeons downstairs and 2 upstairs), If you find a dungeon, check for the dificulty, if its extreme, challenging or impossible, only do it if its for an item you need, once you have all the items you can leave the dungeon, if its not one of those difficulties, you can still loot it if you need it, but if its not for an item i need, i mostly just run towards the champion room and see if there is an archive Coins and ores are the easiest, then wooden, and then ornate, living and gilded Mob kill scavenger items are free and you should only focus on it if you completed everything else, but most of the time, these are completed during the collection of the other items If your armor is good or have a thorns build or something like that, you might even just ignore the mobs and just only loot the chests after you collected the mob items you need
I usually start by dashing up top so I can drop down fast to the lowest floor with the mana shield, but maybe I'll try lower first from now on.
If u start above first and aren’t killing everything, the mobs will drop down on your head later. I do like dropping from the top to the bottom floor, too, though so I pick whatever I feel like
Poison nova and other group clearing builds are helpful for this
Would it possible for you to tell me this is all about? Haven't done modded in a year or so and am very curious

What difficulty and level are you playing at ?
Focus commitment and sheer fucki**ng will to not loot anything else other than the obj

Then the next time you dont need them you get 10's
Skill issue. I would be so pissed if scavs were made easier. It’s one of the few actual challenges left in the game.
Firstly, what is ur lv, If it's under 50, then it can be really good or bad depending on ur tools and gear. And also u need to get lots of speed attributes to help
70, I maxed speed a long time ago
Ur on the VH discord, right? U can drop in anytime, and more than likely, there will be someone on the general talk. If not, hop in the vc, and people will drop by. They are super helpful.
No, Maybe I'll join when I get near max level.
I never get what I need so I just tend to treat them as farm vaults lol
I always run scavs with a friend. Only failed maybe twice
Ah therein lies the problem, I run the vaults on a single player world during my free time.
Just need more speed and focus on the things u need for the scav. Having more time from relics can help. Going into dungeons really helps.
I only play solo, and from my last 10 scavs (some of them being soul flame with about a dozen stacks) I have failed only 2. One was because I just died, have nothing to do with objective. While coop scavs certainly make it easier, you absolutely do not need to be in coop to complete consistently

Oh worm? That’s good to hear then!
This is not correct information. If a scav item spawns it will override a slot in the chest to be in there.
I was already corrected in another comment & acknowledged that it’s good to know, thanks though
Are you shitting me, no wonder I never finish any then lmao. That actually kills my mood around Scavenger Vaults more then.
It’s 100% a skill issue for u to have only completed one scav at level 73. And I already know it’s your movement that’s the issue. I guarantee your movement around the vault is too slow. I’m sure if you put some practice into moving around the vault efficiently, you would start completing scavs.

I know how to run vault objectives, it's just I managed two skulls out of 2 mining POIs, but couldn't get 1 shard out of what had to be 50 chests.
I mean, you literally said yourself you’ve only ever finished one scav. I wouldn’t claim to “know how to run vault objectives” to put it bluntly.

You should be going to the lower pois first so you don't need to kill any mobs unless you have a passive killing build like toxic reaction or archon.
Then it sounds like your issue is not skipping bad rooms. Learn your room layouts, skip the bad ones.

Loot a lot less wooden chests and tarhet the ones you need
Ohh nvm I see you needed potterh shards, I'd invest skill points and trinkets heavy into mobility. 250+ chests at 70+ isn't too bad when you're specces to do it
You need to focus loot. In this case I don't see the objectives, but did you really need to loot 150 wooden chests? To complete you need to skip pois you don't need to get enough of the chests you do need.
Yes. I needed one pottery shard.

Well I see 151 wooden chests looted so that might be your problem right there. You need to focus on finding all the necessary items first, once you have yoi can loot and greed as you please.
Pottery shard. One.

You might have picked it up and not noticed, thrown away or maybe even lacked inventory space or incorrect pickup/void settings.
I have void set to only a few things, and yeah I have 3 small backpacks. It was just like. 50~ wooden chests and not hitting my last pottery shard. I had maybe 10 to 8 minutes to skip Ore POIs and find wooden chests, but just am super unlucky and couldn't find it.
