Vault Jumpsuit



The Vault jumpsuit is a set of standard clothing worn by all inhabitants of Vault-Tec Vaults. The number of the Vault is on the back of the suit. Vault suits from Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Van Buren were depicted as skin tight, but they were not so in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout and Fallout 2
The Vault Dweller emerges from Vault 13 clad in one of these.

In Fallout 2 the Chosen One must earn the right to wear the jumpsuit of his ancestor, the Vault Dweller, by completing the Temple of Trials. Once this quest is completed the player's default clothing changes from tribal clothing to the jumpsuit permanently. The jumpsuit is regarded as a holy item by the people of Arroyo.

The "Vault City" jumpsuit is identical to other jumpsuits, but lacks a number of any sort on the back. It is possible that these were included in the vault for when the citizens emerged, or that the citizens simply removed the number themselves after they left Vault 8. Interestingly enough, First Citizen Joanne Lynette wears a jumpsuit that appears to be hooded.

As it is skin-tight and very thin (and missing pants by the time of Fallout 2), the Vault 13 jumpsuit provides no bonuses to resistances or armor class.

Fallout 3
There are Vault jumpsuits for every Vault which appears in Fallout 3 although two of them are only found in the game files. In addition, there is a Vault 77 jumpsuit as a reference to the Penny Arcade Comic as well as a few unique and/or modified variants.

Every Vault jumpsuit can be used to repair other Vault jumpsuits.

Vault 77 jumpsuit
The Vault 77 jumpsuit was a piece of clothing originally worn by the Puppet Man who was the only inhabitant of Vault 77. It can be obtained from a shelf in the slaver barracks in Paradise Falls.

Vault 87 jumpsuit
These suits were worn by the ill-fated subjects of Vault 87's Evolutionary Experimentation Program.

Although the Vault 87 jumpsuit was put into the game's files, the game itself offers no opportunity for the player to obtain one, and the only one seen throughout the game is worn by Fawkes, ripped to shreds by his enormous super mutant body. While Fawkes' suit is grey, the wearable version is blue. It is likely that the color of Fawkes' suit simply faded with the passage of time.

Vault 92 jumpsuit
The Vault 92 jumpsuit was worn by its ill-fated residents. It cannot be found anywhere in-game as the residents are dead and their jumpsuits have decayed. It can only be obtained via the use of console commands.

Vault 101 jumpsuit
The Vault 101 jumpsuit is the standard clothing given to the inhabitants of Vault 101. Children receive the Vault 101 child's jumpsuit instead, a version without bonuses.

While wearing the Vault 101 jumpsuit, dialogue with certain NPCs will be slightly different as opposed to wearing a variant of the vault suit, such as the armored Vault suit, Vault 101 utility jumpsuit or other apparel from the Wasteland. This is most easily observed in Megaton, where Lucas Simms will make a comment upon the player entering the town for the first time about the clothing, but only if the player is wearing the jumpsuit upon entry. When speaking to certain other NPCs in Megaton (Billy Creel, Jericho, and Leo Stahl to name a few.) and throughout the Capital Wasteland, they will also make remarks about the suit when talking to them for the first time, or instead of calling you a wastelander, they will instead recognize you as a former Vault Dweller.

James wears "Dad's Wasteland outfit", which is a heavier, dirtier Vault 101 jumpsuit with rolled up sleeves and unbuttoned collar.

Vault 106 jumpsuit
The Vault 106 jumpsuit can be found on the insane survivors in Vault 106.

Vault 108 jumpsuit
The Vault 108 jumpsuit can be found on any of the various Garys within Vault 108. Unlike other jumpsuits, 108 is extremely dirty, has an unbuttoned collar, black undershirt, and rolled up sleeves, similar to Dad's Wasteland outfit, just with a "108" on the back. The jumpsuit is dirty presumably because of the state of Vault 108. A Vault 108 jumpsuit with the gauntlets (DLC02VaultSuit108) can be found on Gary 23, but it cannot be looted. If a female player dons the suit, it looks like a dirty 101 suit.

Vault 112 jumpsuit
The Vault 112 jumpsuit is distributed by the robobrain upon entering Vault 112.

It is possible to get an unlimited number of the Vault 112 jumpsuits. Simply drop the one the robobrain gives you and talk to it again. You can do this over and over again, but it isn't actually that useful as the uniforms aren't worth much. There are two invisible Vault 112 jumpsuits in one of the upper right rooms (clinic) of Vault 112. There should be a ledge with two of them and jumping on the ledge makes them visible. Otherwise you will be still able to pick them up even if they are invisible. Just look for the option to "Take Vault 112 jumpsuit".

Other variants

 * Armored Vault suit
 * Vault lab uniform
 * Vault 101 utility jumpsuit
 * Modified utility jumpsuit
 * Dad's Wasteland outfit

Fallout: New Vegas
A Vault 21 jumpsuit appears in Fallout: New Vegas, as well as jumpsuits from Vault 3, Vault 11, Vault 19, Vault 22, and Vault 34. A Vault 24 jumpsuit was included in New Vegas' resources but not placed in the game, presumably because no Vault 24 exists within the game.

There is also an armored Vault 13 jumpsuit obtainable via the Classic Pack preordered online.

Appearances
Vault jumpsuits appear in all Fallout games.

However, in Fallout and Fallout 2 they are worn by the player character by default and in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Van Buren, they appear as actual in-game items.

In Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, they are not usable by the player.
