One of my absolute favourite things to do inFallout 3andFallout 4is explore the various vaults scattered across the nuclear wastes of America.
Take a look at the trailer for the newAmazonFalloutseriesbelow!
Exploring these windows into the past is always such a treat, that my only complaint is there aren’t more vaults. Hell,Fallout 5could just be about exploring vaults back to back and I probably wouldn’t complain.

It’s little surprise, then, that I’m particularly obsessed with the excellent mod Fallout Vault 494: A Vault-Tec Story.
“Vault 494: A Vault-Tec Story adds a new Vault for the player to explore,” the mod’s creator explains on NexusMods. “As the player approaches the Nahant area they will pick up a Vault-Tec distress signal which will begin. From there the player will be free to explore Vault 494, which an accounting error gave an unusually high number, and Vault-Tec’s attempts to create a crime-free society.”
The way in which this mod, which is essentially a newfreequest, manages to capture the vibe of the officially developed Fallout vaults is nothing short of incredible. The constant sense of unease as you gradually unravel the vault’s doomed experiment is masterfully done, and feels like it could have been ripped from the base game. Honestly, I’d put this up there with the Gary vault in terms of sheer creepiness.
If you’re interested - and I would certainly hope that you are - you candownload and discoverthe story of Fallout’s Vault 494 from NexusMods.
