Vault 111

Vault 111 is one of the vault series of fallout shelters developed by Vault-Tec. This vault is located near Sanctuary Hills, Massachusetts.

Background
Vault 111 was designed to test the long-term effects of suspended animation on unaware, human subjects, by placing them into cryo-pods. The staff were placed on short-term assignments of a minimum 180 days to monitor the basic cardiopulmonary and cognitive functions of the residents. Long-term monitoring was handled remotely by Vault-Tec technicians. According to the Vault 111 doctor's claims upon entry, this vault is one of the most sophisticated vaults constructed.

Newcomers, like the Sole Survivor's family, were led into believing the cryo-pods were decontamination pods. This was done as dictated by the overseer of the vault for research purposes. It would appear the vault also experimented with cryotechnology as a weapon, evident with the Cryolator.

Somewhere between 2077 and 2287, besides the murder of the Sole Survivor's partner; a mutiny led by the security personnel occurred due to the vault's rations of food and water running out and the overseer's refusal to open the vault door. During the firefight for control of the vault, it can be presumed that all the scientists that ran the cryogenic chambers were either killed or escaped the vault during the uprising along with the other surviving staff. Since there was no one left to tend to the remaining vault subjects in the cryo-pods, it is likely those that may have still been alive died in their pods due to lack of supervision of their vitals and maintenance, leading to the deaths of all the remaining residents of the vault except for one, the Sole Survivor.

Layout
Unlike other vaults, the entrance to Vault 111 not only has an atypical pneumatic hull, but also acts as a hatch which gives way to an interior elevator. The inner door is seen to open first, followed by the hatch opening. While painted in the prelude, the vault door is seen to be characteristically rusted and dull after the Great War. Notably, there was a security checkpoint, a trait other vaults seemed to lack.

Vault 111 is shown to have advanced technology, with the obvious presence of cryo-pods. Since there was a limited amount of these pods, the vault has developed some areas for recreational use.

After the release of the Sole Survivor, the vault is shown to be in shambles after neglect. Frozen mummified corpses are seen in the pods, skeletal remains of some of the killed occupants are scattered around the interior with hints of violence. Radroaches have also invaded the vault.

Notable loot

 * Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV - on skeletal remains of a Vault 111 scientist, right next to the Vault door
 * Red Menace holotape - in recreational terminal
 * Cryolator - a prototype freeze beam weapon in the overseers office. It requires the master lockpicking perk and some bobby pins, so be sure to come back later for it afterwards.
 * Wedding ring - found on corpse of the Sole Survivor's partner
 * Red Menace (Holotape Game) - found in the "Recreation Terminal"
