Quick answer
The Black Market and Vault are planned account-level metagame systems. They are connected to long-term value beyond one match, so read them as progression and storage concepts first.
Do not treat a named system as a finished rulebook.
What is the Black Market supposed to solve?
It appears to connect match earnings to account preparation. WARDOGS already has per-life cash spending for weapons, equipment, and vehicles. The Black Market is the planned layer that may let players prepare items, production, businesses, wagers, or other account value outside the immediate match.
That is a direction, not a complete shop guide.
What is the Vault supposed to solve?
The Vault is described as storage or account value tied to the metagame. The current public record does not provide a complete list of what goes in, how much capacity exists, whether capacity upgrades are permanent, or how items survive resets.
The safe player question is: what value survives when seasonal cash and XP reset?
