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. As the Vault 111 doctor claims upon entry, he states the vault is the most sophisticated vault compared to the others.

Newcomers, like the Sole Survivor's family, were led into believing the cyro-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 cyro technology as a weapon, evident with the Cyrolator.

Somewhere between 2077 and 2287, besides the murder of the Sole Survivor's partner; a mutiny led by the security personnel occurred, leading to the deaths of all 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.

The interior layout of the vault itself was unknown and was only briefly seem in the E3 2015 conference. Upon the game's release, Vault 111 is shown to have advanced technology, with the obvious presence of cyro-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.
