Fallout 4 Vault 81

Fallout 4 Vault 81



Vault 81 is a Vault Location in central area of The Commonwealth. It is located to the South of Oberland Station along the train tracks, and just West of Chestnut Hillock Reservoir.



Layout



Upon entering the cave towards Vault 81, you will see a small radio comlink that can be used to open the vault. By opening up your Pip Boy at the entrance, you can initiate a conversation with Officer Edwards and the Overseer through the comlink. If you have a high enough Charisma stat, you can emphasize your status as a fellow Vault Dweller in the conversation and convince the Overseer to open the door.



Once inside, you will find the Overseer, Officer Edwards, and various other Vault Dwellers roaming around. There are tables with junk items that can be stolen, but doing so will provoke the Dwellers to attack you. The hallway to the back leads down a path towards Officer Edwards' office and an elevator that goes deeper into the vault.



The lower section of the Vault has more Vault Dwellers in the area, including Austin who will give you a tour of the area for a charge of 5 CAPS (can be convinced to do it for free). Down the hall is the Overseer's room, which has a terminal that you can hack to see various information. There is a variety of items you can steal, but do so at your own risk.



Back in the main hall of the floor, the downstairs area has many NPCs to speak to and some vendors that sell food and recovery items. You can change your hairstyle at Horatio's Barber on the South side of the floor and visit Dr. Penske's lab across from there. Penske's lab has many food items you can harvest, inluding corn and tatos. There is also a terminal that has research notes about Penske's work.



There is a pathway on section of the bottom floor that leads to Katy's Classroom and Residential rooms. Each of the rooms contain various junk, health, and ammo items that can be stolen, but doing so will provoke the entire floor of security towards your position. Speaking to Katy will open up a small quest to speak with the Vault children about the Commonwealth.



Down the hall of this area leads to a ramp to the bottom Residenial area rooms and Dr. Forsythe's lab. In the lab, you can heal yourself by speaking with Rachel. There is a terminal on Rachels desk that has various medical information on it. You can steal recovery items on the tables in the lab, such as Stimpacks and RadAway.

ADDITIONAL NOTES



Vault 81 is a brief mission that begins once you open the door to the vault. You can find a new weapon and new companion on subsequent Missions here. It can easily be achieved in the early game by players with high Charisma and is recommended for low-level characters seeking experience.
