In this Vigor Shelter Guide, we will guide you on everything that you need to know about your Shelter in Vigor. Your shelter is your safe house in Vigor and although there is not much use for it apart from the factor that your crafting table is here, you can continue to upgrade your shelter which will grant you with numerous bonuses. These bonuses will eventually help you in winning the matches and ensuring that you are the best one out there in the field.
Vigor takes a unique turn on the classic battle royale arena games and comes with its own unique mechanics in play. The maps are smaller but you have a decent choice of them.
