Is there any incentive to save diamonds in vault?

I know you can use them for the box rewards, but is there any incentive to save them other than to roll a bunch later? Does it matter if I roll now or after I save 100, 1000, etc?

Vault Diamonds?

Been playing with my friend and enjoying it so far, but we are (it feels) pretty far into the pack without being able to unlock any mods. We started with iskall's (amazing, highly entertaining) yt series but seem to have outpaced him a bit and so it feels like there are things we don't understand until he gets to them. The big bottleneck we have right now is vault diamonds, we have everything else. But we only have 2 vault diamonds, and a vending machine trade that we can buy some for 2 gold. Right now we have just about 2 gold. So we're only a third of the way there, despite having 45 hours between the two of us! Are we missing some source of vault diamonds early on? Is there a point/level where we'll start finding more? Or are we really going to have to play for 120-150 hours to unlock our first mod?

I know similar questions have been asked before, but it always seems to center around later in the game, and especially with the recent changes to the early game rewards I'm hoping to get some up to date advice (though I didn't see vault diamonds explicitly mentioned it seems like they could have been affected).

In 2003, a heist team stole over $100 of jewels from a vault Antwerp. It's one of the most lucrative non-violent robberies of all time. One member of the team and the majority of the diamonds are still missing.

Who doesn’t love a good heist? The team assembling, the genius plan, the thrilling escape!

This week we dive into one of the largest robberies in history- the stolen diamonds, gold, silver, & other jewelry was valued at more than $100 million. Arrests were made and time was served… but the majority of the stolen diamonds remain unrecovered.

Time to unroll some vault schematics and rappel down a laser filled elevator to one of the greatest thefts of all time!

The Target

I don’t know about you, but for me, the following is best read in George Clooney’s voice from Ocean’s 11 as he talks his squad through that plan:

>The Antwerp World Diamond Centre is located in the now infamous Antwerp diamond district. The building has a private security force and 24/7 monitoring. The vault that actually houses the diamonds is two floors beneath the main floor, protected by multiple security mechanisms, including infrared heat sensors, a seismic sensor, Doppler radar, a magnetic field, and finally a lock with 100 million possibilities.

This is all data from the time of the robbery, circa 2003. Most likely the security measures have been changed because of...

The Team

Nicknamed β€œThe School of Turin,” the team of thieves was led by Mr. Leonardo Notarbartolo. The squad consisted of at least four other members (though there were rumors of a mysterious 6th man, β€œthe man behind the plan”). Just like with any good heist team, all of them had their own special alias and skillset:

  • Speedy: anxious & paranoid, he was a long-time friend of Notarbartolo
  • The Monster: a tall, muscular man, he was an expert lock picker & mechanic
  • The Genius: the alarm systems specialist
  • The King of Keys: besides having the most badass alias, this was an older man described as β€œone of the best key forgers in the world.”

The Heist

The plan took eighteen months of preparation. Notarbartolo rented an office in the Diamond Centre which gave him access to a safe deposit box located in the vault. Along with his tenant ID card, he gained credibility by posing as an Italian diamond merchant.

And the rest basically played out like the plot of an Ocean's 11 film, including (but not limited to): having a getaway car, building a full scale replica of the vault, and using a polyester body shield to hide from the infrared cameras.

Here’s the list of the majority of their plan (snagged from Wikipedia):

Pink Diamond Cards From TT Online or TT Vault.

I have a crazy theory.......Do you all believe when they put PD cards like John Wall or Paul George in the vault or board for TT or TTO that these cards are actually nerfed. I used to have a very hard time playing against PD John Wall before he was available in the vault but after putting him in the vault and multiple players obtaining him he is so easy to play against. I swear they nerfed his 3 point shooting cause I'm yet to match up with a player who can make a decent three pointer with him after they put him in the vault. It's just a theory and not meant to taken to face value but then again it could be a possibility. Look at all the high tier sellable cards that have been available on the boards in TTO or the Vault in TT.....don't you notice they suck compared to when they were first released. Anyone else have thoughts on this. I could be wrong.......but then again I could be right.

Best way to get to Vault 114 from Diamond city?

I got as far as the swan pond, as i approach the swan pond, Piper said something about people don't come back from these part of Boston, then there's warning sign near the pond. So i grab my bolt action rifle, look around though the scope, didn't see anything, the whole place is ominous, so went around.

Then Piper open fire at some raiders, we dealt with them. They were apparently guarding the combat zone, there's "no caps no entry sign", but, i just want to find Vault 114, so i continued on my way and spotted a few gunners on my way.

I was too tired by then, and i thought about the no caps no entry sign, i got plenty of caps, so maybe i can take some break, maybe rent a bed, maybe sell off some stuff i looted off their buddies outside. so i walk back, piper said something about its the best place to find murderers, but once inside, i saw a couple of people tied up behind bars, it says rule breaker. Well, law and order i guess, open another door, and there's a show going on, neat, i walk down the stairs, but then the announcer notice me, apparently they weren't expecting guess, they opened fire, i was startled, barely took a step into cover before i went down.

Then i wake up, back in home plate.

so, any way to get to Vault 114 without all the troubles?

So mainly as title, I'm finding vault diamonds to be a sticking point for me, is there a reasonable way to farm them a little apart from the obvious (killing sub fighters, looting etc)?

I needed many more to get the research's, skill points and many other recipes, I'm lvl 72 and still struggling getting knowledge points. Don't get me wrong I've done a few but so many different aspects require the diamonds I'm struggling to getting things unlocked or balance the recipes while making progression.

Whoever has Coinbase - you can use the vault to further diamond hand

Get a couple ape buddies you trust and put your LRC in the vault. Requires a majority decision to withdrawal from the vault and takes 48 hours to do so. This will help keep you from second guessing. Only withdrawal when we reach $50. So many times I wish I didn't have a sell button on some stocks, and I paper handed them like a you know what. I won't be making the same mistake twice, and I hope you don't either.

This week we dive into one of the largest robberies in history- the stolen diamonds, gold, silver, & other jewelry was valued at more than $100 million. Arrests were made and time was served… but the majority of the stolen diamonds remain unrecovered.

Time to unroll some vault schematics and rappel down a laser filled elevator to one of the greatest thefts of all time!

The Target

I don’t know about you, but for me, the following is best read in George Clooney’s voice from Ocean’s 11 as he talks his squad through that plan:

>The Antwerp World Diamond Centre is located in the now infamous Antwerp diamond district. The building has a private security force and 24/7 monitoring. The vault that actually houses the diamonds is two floors beneath the main floor, protected by multiple security mechanisms, including infrared heat sensors, a seismic sensor, Doppler radar, a magnetic field, and finally a lock with 100 million possibilities.

This is all data from the time of the robbery, circa 2003. Most likely the security measures have been changed because of...

The Team

Nicknamed β€œThe School of Turin,” the team of thieves was led by Mr. Leonardo Notarbartolo. The squad consisted of at least four other members (though there were rumors of a mysterious 6th man, β€œthe man behind the plan”). Just like with any good heist team, all of them had their own special alias and skillset:

  • Speedy: anxious & paranoid, he was a long-time friend of Notarbartolo
  • The Monster: a tall, muscular man, he was an expert lock picker & mechanic
  • The Genius: the alarm systems specialist
  • The King of Keys: besides having the most badass alias, this was an older man described as β€œone of the best key forgers in the world.”

The Heist

The plan took eighteen months of preparation. Notarbartolo rented an office in the Diamond Centre which gave him access to a safe deposit box located in the vault. Along with his tenant ID card, he gained credibility by posing as an Italian diamond merchant.

And the rest basically played out like the plot of an Ocean's 11 film, including (but not limited to): having a getaway car, building a full scale replica of the vault, and using a polyester body shield to hide from the infrared cameras.

Here’s the list of the majority of their plan (snagged from Wikipedia):
