Vault 34

Vault 34 is one of the Vault-Tec Vaults.

Background
As part of the Vault Experiment, the armory was overstocked with weapons, and ammo and not provided with a lock. The location of this Vault is in the Mojave Wasteland. By 2281, it still has people living in it.

According to the Boomers historian Pete they used to occupy the Vault 34, but they got sick of not being allowed to use their weapons so they left and started a community at Nellis.

According to various terminals inside the vault, Vault 34 suffered overpopulation at some point, which the Overseer wanted to "fix". For obvious reasons, the Vault Dwellers revolted, attempting to riot and gain control of the armory. During the riot, the vault's reactor vents were damaged, dooming the inhabitants to a lethal dose of radiation.

Preparing to enter the vault
Both the entrance to the vault and the whole vault are very radioactive, so it is recommended to stack up on Rad-X and   RadAway and get some high rad resistant armor such as a Spacesuit or an Advanced radiation suit.

If you can't find a lot of Rad-X and/or RadAway, there is a medium difficulty safe in the first level of the vault that contains 12 of each.

Layout
This vault is set up like most other vaults in the Mojave. With multiple levels connected by the Main elevator. This Vault is still unexplored and information is obtained through a terminal on the 1st Floor/ Entrance.

Vault 34 Entrance
The entrance to vault 34 connects the vault to the Mojave Wasteland. This section consists of:
 * Natural rock connecting the vault entrance to the Mojave.
 * Entrance
 * Atrium
 * Main

Armory
There is an armory with a number of firearms and armors. The door to the armory is locked (not pick-able) but you will get access to it by using the terminal in the Overseer's office. To get into the Overseer's Office you must swim underwater and grab the terminal password from a dead vault technician, once you get it go to the door to the left a little ways before you enter the armory and activate the pump system through a very hard terminal (100 skill required). Then go to one of the underwater room locations, which should now have a door there and you can walk down. From there it is pretty simple, get the access code for the overseer's Chamber then go in and unlock the Armory.

A very hard difficulty locked chest is in the armory, with a Pulse Rifle.

Among the loot are:
 * Missile Launcher
 * Grenade Launcher
 * Combat Armor
 * 10mm Pistol
