How to claim and equip Vaults badges on your profile (step by step)

2026-05-22

Vaults badges are managed from one page: dashboard/badges. The page is in landscape layout, with the badge picker on the left and a live preview of your profile on the right.

1. Open the Badges page

In your dashboard sidebar click Badges. You'll see two sections: Unlocked (what you already own) and Locked & claimable (everything else).

2. Claim a free badge

Free badges, the religion set and the social tags, have a green Claim pill. Click any of them once to add it to your unlocked list. Click again to remove. You can hold as many of these as you want.

3. Equip up to 8 badges

From the Unlocked section, click a badge to equip it (it gets a green dot). Click again to unequip. You can show up to 8 badges next to your name.

4. Show or hide the row

The badge row appears automatically when you have at least one equipped. Hovering a badge on a profile shows a small custom name tooltip, and clicking opens a popup with the description and unlock instructions.

5. Earn the auto badges

  • Add a Twitch URL under social icons, instant Streamer.
  • Add a music track, instant Music head.
  • Add an Image or Gallery block, instant Photographer.
  • Customize five things over time, get Designer.

6. Unlock the paid ones (optional)

The €5 Lifetime tier unlocks the blue Verified check. The Donor badge is a separate €5 tip from the Badges page, it is not bundled with Lifetime or Supporter, so even paid users have to tip €5 if they want the donor mark.

7. Monochrome mode

Toggle Monochrome badges at the top of the All badges section if you want them displayed in black and white instead of full color. It only changes display, not which ones you own.
