Vault 79

Vault 79 is a Vault-Tec vault located in the Savage Divide region of Appalachia in 2103.

Background
Constructed in secret by the Vault-Tec Corporation from 2072 onwards, Vault 79 was built with no expenses spared for concealment; a different contractor to the other Appalachian vaults was used to supply concrete, and land was acquired from local farmers by government agents claiming the land was radioactive, offering large sums of money as compensation.

Orders given to the soldiers watching over it included treating all intruders as hostile agents and to be dealt with as such, all shift logs were to be packaged and delivered to the officer of the watch, activate the contingency plan when ordered, not to smoke away from the designated smoking area and to stay out of sight.

As with the other vaults, Vault 79 was sealed shut during the Great War in 2077 by the soldiers on shift, who had received word from the Air Force.

Layout
The entrance to Vault 79 is inside of a cave north of the Bailey family cabin.

Prior to Fallout 76 patch/hotfix 1.2.4.10, a keypad could be found on a concrete wall inside of the cave. To enter the vault caverns, go to the elevator and type the random code retrieved from the Grafton Pawn Shop and then go down the elevator. There is a big cavern in front of the signature cog wheel door. The cavern includes a small trailer, a small warehouse section, a truck trailer with goods and a platform including the Vault 79 entrance terminal. There is no current option to open the door, which makes the full interior of Vault 79 currently inaccessible until the release of Wastelanders.

Appearances
Vault 79 appears only in Fallout 76.
