Cult of The Vault is a type of challenge in Borderlands 2, with each completion of the challenge giving a small amount of Badass Rank. The objective of Cult of the Vault is to discover hidden Vault Symbols throughout Pandora.

The number of Vault symbols in every location varies from 0 to 5, as indicated on the Challenges window in the Badass Rank page of the ECHO communicator interface. Most Vault symbols are found on walls and objects that are in hard-to-reach and/or hidden places. They vary in size from roughly 2 inches to 10 feet (5 cm to 3 m) in diameter.

Borderlands 2[]
