Makeshift Vault

The makeshift vault is a location in the Toxic Valley region of Appalachia in 2103.

Background
A nuclear fallout shelter constructed by former Vault-Tec Corporation contractors using supplies and materials stolen from Vault construction sites in Appalachia. The builders decided on this course of action after they were informed that they'd not receive a spot in the Vaults they helped build due to being "unessential". By October, the work was mostly completed, with construction on this "budget" Vault well ahead of schedule.

After the Great War, the constructors perished, with Crater raiders taking over the area, using it as a stockpile for the stolen Hellstorm missile launchers.

After the events of Property Rights, Shin notes that Protectrons will be set up to guard it, while the actual vault will be used as a midpoint for northern Appalachian patrols by the Brotherhood.

Layout
The exterior is adorned with nothing more than a broken-down vehicle and a simple, red shack door leading into a cave. Upon entering the cave, a long tunnel with scattered Brotherhood of Steel supply crates. Around the corner is a large cavern, filled with Brotherhood and Vault-Tec supplies, as well as construction equipment, a broken Protectron, a fusion generator, and a weapons workbench.

At the far end of the cavern is the vault itself is a bank vault door leading to a living area. Within the living area is the corpse of a miner, buried in a cave-in. A few feet from this corpse are two graves, each decorated with a hat and flowers, one of which has a quantum bear.

Notable loot

 * Brotherhood note - Note, pinned to the pool table next to the destroyed robot, only available after Property Rights is completed.
 * One last trip - Note, inside of the vault itself. After entering through the vault door, it is immediately to the left, on a wooden desk.
 * Unessential - Note, on a table next to a ham radio, on the northern side of the large room before going into the vault itself.
 * Potential magazine - On the small stand next to the bed, to the left after passing the vault door.
 * Potential bobblehead - In the back-left of the last room, right next to three stacked mattresses.

Appearances
The makeshift vault appears only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Steel Dawn update.
