- Destroy a Vault runs on one loop: roll robots, break vaults, smelt Gold into Cash, upgrade.
- Rare robots matter: replace lower-rarity tanks as your army grows.
- Offline earnings: deployed robots keep generating Gold while you are away.
- Spend Cash on army strength and attack slots before cosmetic base items.
- Save Gems for Mutation Cores once you approach Boss Vault Raid content.
Core Gameplay Loop Overview
Destroy a Vault is a Roblox vault-simulator by LoopForge Studios where your robot army blasts bank vaults for Gold. The full guide below walks through every stage of the loop, from your first roll to Boss Vault Raids. Each cycle follows the same rhythm: roll rare robot tanks, blast the vault until it breaks open, smelt the Gold into Cash, and upgrade your army to unlock stronger vaults.
Roll Robots
- Random rarity pulls
- Build collection over time
- Foundation of all damage
Blast the Vault
- Deploy your full army
- Damage scales with lineup
- Stronger vaults pay more Gold
Smelt and Upgrade
- Gold converts to Cash
- Cash funds army and base
- Offline income keeps flowing
The three resources in the game feed each other:
| Resource | How You Get It | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | Breaking vaults, offline robot earnings | Smelted into Cash |
| Cash | Smelting Gold | Army upgrades, attack slots, base expansion |
| Gems | Codes, premium sources | Buys Mutation Cores |
Never let Gold sit unsmelted. Idle Gold earns nothing, but smelted Cash can immediately fund army upgrades that raise your Gold-per-hour.
Vault Types and Attack Strategy
Every vault in Destroy a Vault is a durability check: your army's combined damage must outpace the vault's health. Choosing the right target keeps your Gold income efficient.
| Vault Level | Unlock Condition | Durability | Reward Potential | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Vaults | Starting content | Baseline | Gold | Early progression and first rolls |
| Stronger Vaults | Army improvement | Higher | Greater Gold | Mid-game farming loop |
| Boss Vault Raids | BOSSES update content | Boss-level | Highest Gold | Late-game developed armies |
Attacking a vault your army cannot break efficiently stalls your entire income loop. Farm the strongest vault you can defeat quickly before moving up.
Recommended setups by stage:
| Stage | Robot Setup | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Early | Fill every placement slot, any rarity | ★★★★★ |
| Mid | Replace low-rarity tanks with high-rarity pulls | ★★★★★ |
| Late | Max upgraded high-rarity army for Boss Raids | ★★★★☆ |
Step-by-Step: Destroy a Vault From Scratch
Follow this sequence in your first session to establish the full progression loop.
Roll for Robot Tanks
Use your starting resources to roll robots. Rarity is random, so focus on filling your army first rather than chasing perfect pulls.
Deploy Your Army
Place every available robot into your attack slots. A full lineup of common robots outperforms a half-empty army of rare ones.
Blast the Vault
Attack the starting vault until it breaks open. Your army deals damage automatically once deployed.
Collect and Smelt Gold
Gather the Gold from the destroyed vault and smelt it into Cash through the conversion process.
Upgrade and Repeat
Spend Cash on army strength and attack slots, then return to attacking. Deploy your best robots before logging off so offline Gold keeps accumulating.
A simple habit: log in, collect offline Gold, smelt it, roll or upgrade, redeploy your army, and log off. This routine compounds your income every session.
Upgrade Priority and Spending Efficiency
Cash is limited early, so the order in which you upgrade shapes how fast your income scales.
| Upgrade | Effect | Priority | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Army strength | Higher damage per robot | ★★★★★ | Always |
| Attack slots | More robots in battle | ★★★★★ | Early to mid |
| Base expansion | More space and capacity | ★★★☆☆ | Mid game |
| Mutation Cores | Mutation progression via Gems | ★★★★☆ | Late game |
Do
- Fill all placement slots early
- Replace weak robots gradually
- Keep best robots deployed before quitting
Avoid
- Hoarding unsmelted Gold
- Skipping attack slot upgrades
- Spending Gems on routine army costs
Reserve Gems for Mutation Cores introduced in the BOSSES update, and apply them only to robots that will stay in your long-term raid army.

FAQ
Q: How do I destroy a vault faster in Destroy a Vault?
Increase your army's total damage: fill every placement slot, upgrade robot strength with Cash, and replace lower-rarity robots with higher-rarity pulls as soon as your active army stays full.
Q: Do robots earn Gold while I am offline?
Yes. Deployed robots continue generating Gold automatically while you are offline. Always leave your strongest lineup deployed before logging off, then collect and smelt when you return.
Q: What are Mutation Cores and when should I buy them?
Mutation Cores are a premium progression resource purchased with Gems, introduced alongside Boss Vault Raids in the BOSSES update. Buy them once your long-term army is established and apply them to robots you plan to keep.
Q: Should I attack Boss Vault Raids as soon as they unlock?
Not immediately. Boss vaults have significantly higher durability than standard targets. Build a high-rarity, fully upgraded army first so your raid attempts break the vault efficiently instead of stalling your income.
