Vault Raid

Vault raids are a gameplay feature in the Fallout 76 add-on Nuclear Winter. Vault raids are intended as challenging, endgame content for higher-level teams of four players. The first vault raid, for Vault 94, was released on August 20, 2019.

Details
Locations that are part of vault raids are instanced, allowing a team to complete the mission uninterrupted on their own. The encounters and loot inside of the vault are all instanced as well. Each vault has three missions that rotate weekly. Before starting, a party member selects one of three difficulties for the current mission - Novice, Standard or Expert. Novice is only partially timed, while Standard and Expert have increasingly challenging time limits, puzzles and enemies. A higher difficulty means a better reward. If an entire team dies or the timer runs out during a mission, the party will be forced to start over. The rewards for completing a mission include XP, caps, improved repair kits, crafting materials and unique weapons, armor and plans. These include Vault armor plans, for new armors with special "set bonuses" such as the Strangler heart power armor, Thorn armor and the Solar armor. However, the plans are not given out on Novice difficulty. Vault 94 steel is rewarded for completing missions at Vault 94 on any difficulty.
