Vault Raid



Vault raids were a gameplay feature in Fallout 76, introduced in the Nuclear Winter update. Intended to be challenging, endgame content, vault raids were special instanced dungeons recommended for higher-level teams of four players. The first vault raid, set inside Vault 94, was released on August 20, 2019. With the Wastelanders update, vault raids were shut down indefinitely, and the rewards were moved to be available elsewhere (namely from Reginald Stone for gold bullion).

The Daily Ops introduced in the One Wasteland For All update have essentially replaced vault raids within Vaults 94.

Details
Vault raid locations were instanced, allowing a team to complete the mission without other players affecting the team's progress. This includes enemy encounters and loot found by the team inside the vault. Each mission was available for the duration of one week, rotating to another mission every Tuesday. While only one mission was available at a time, each raid repeats every three weeks.

Before starting, a party member selected one of three difficulties for the current mission - Novice, Standard or Expert. Novice was not timed, while Standard and Expert had increasingly challenging time limits and enemy encounters. Higher difficulties provided better rewards in terms of XP and loot. If an entire team died or the timer ran out during a mission, the party was forced to start over.

Vault raids may reward XP, caps, improved repair kits, Vault 94 steel, and crafting materials along with unique weapons, armor, and crafting plans. Unique sets of "vault armor" plans are used to unlock new armors with special set bonuses. These include the Thorn armor, Solar armor, and Strangler heart power armor. Note that these plans are not rewarded upon completion on Novice difficulty. Also note that vault mission rewards can only be earned once per difficulty, per day.
