Shelters

Shelters are a new expansion to the Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform introduced in the Steel Dawn update for Fallout 76. They serve as underground shelters, similar to the famed Vaults designed by Vault-Tec to protect chosen Americans from the nuclear apocalypse of the Great War, but also act as separate homes from the C.A.M.P. proper, having both their own building budget and special Vault-Tec themed decorations or house parts that can be only used in the Shelter. Shelters also are prohibited from building certain things inside them, such as the Fermenter.

Shelters are unlocked via completing the quest "Home Expansion" at the Shelters Claim Center located to the side of the sealed entrance to Vault 51. Simply speak to the Mister Handy waiting inside, Mr. Clark, register on the terminal, speak to him again, and your Shelter is ready to go upon the quest's completion. On the map of Appalachia, C.A.M.P.s with Shelters build into them will have a small radiation or fallout shelter symbol in the upper right corner of the tent symbol. If the C.A.M.P. is also equipped with vending machines, the icon will have the symbol marking C.A.M.P.s as vendors surrounding it as well.
