Of course there are no treasures in the vault, that's the whole point. The idea that the vault contained fantastic loot was a RUMOUR that was created by the inhabitants of Pandora. No one REALLY knew what was in it, but people assumed a kind of "Bank Vault". There is also another way to describe a vault - a "Prison Vault", and guess what it really was? That's right! It was a containment cell created to imprison the Destroyer.

The guardian angel, presumably, knew this and that was why she put you through all those trials; to ensure that you were prepared for the fight ahead. There are many theories as to why she did this and I'm not going to list them all.

Needless to say, there were never any treasures in the vault. You were mislead the whole time to believe there were; everyone was mislead.

Think about it, why the hell would anyone store and awesome stash of weapons and valuables in a vault with a dangerous homocidal being. You don't go around putting rocket launchers in prison cells do you?!

It all makes sense when you actually realise it. I thought it was a clever way of using the idea of a "vault" and playing on its double meaning, but leading you to believe it was a bank vault instead of a prison vault the whole time.

I admit they could have delivered the twist a little better, but it just seems as though most people don't really get it. They're like "OK cool there was actually a monster in there, didn't expect that. Hey, what gives? Why can't I go inside the vault and collect all the 'phat loot' now that I killed it?!" I just have one thing to say to those people; FACEPALM!!!!

It seems those people require someone to spell it out, because the game didn't (You know, the big world destroying beast wasn't a give away or anything). IT'S A FREAKIN' PRISON VAULT, NOT A TREASURE VAULT!!!

P.S. yeah that sucks FBU. I wondered why some class mods had, what appeared to be, the exact same stats but different prices. Now I know why!

I was actually thinking it was more along the lines of Fallout 3 type of vault. Except instead of an illusionistic world of peace it would actually be a paradise.

There was no reason for the guardian angel chick to want us to kill the thing. Up until we got the keys and opened the vault it was perfectly harmless locked away. No threat.

So why open it?

Tannis already had the clues and key to open the Vault. Steele was also looking for it. It was better to get someone to open the Vault now and kill the monster than let one of those chicks randomly open it sometime down the road and release the monster to reek havoc on Pandora.

Or, at least, that's my theory behind it all.

I think that is the only gearbox weapon, tho if you go to the basement on playthrough 2, u will find a better version of it... tho its still not that good.

I use

GGNS C Cobalt Volcano (sniper)
D - 425
A - 97.3
F - 0.9
Fire x4
2.4 zoom

AR-B Deathly Stomper (B/R)
D - 231
A - 87.3
F - 15
+50% reload
+75 D
1.4x zoom

RWL70 Helix Rocket Launcher
D - 840x3
A - 91.7
F - 1.0
Fire x4
1.9x zoom

HX 4 Malevolent Stinger (smg)
D - 109
A - 90.2
F - 12.5
3.9x zoom
+6% reload speed
+23% D
+33% fire rate
+46% recoil reduction

Class mod
650 Gunner Class mod
11 Team ammo regen
+2 stockpile
+3 impact
+2 Barrage
+44% team accuracy

I personally find any fire elemental weapons to be too over powered. With my sniper I can crit single shot any humanoid of my level and let the fire effect finish them off. My rocket launcher has taken out a group of three with a lucky shot (there might of been a barrel though, I didn't see it). The smg is perfect against Rakk's (killed rakkmothra in under 3 min /w it as the only way I know how to defeat it is to take cover under the roof of the nearby vehicle depot.)
