Vault-Tec Corporation, otherwise known as Vault-Tec and sometimes called Vault-Tec Industries, [1] is a fictional defense megacorporation from the post-apocalyptic Fallout franchise. Throughout the United States, Vault-Tec created government-funded vaults, large fallout shelters that would serve to shelter civilians and allow for the continuation of human life in the threat of a nuclear attack. Within most of these Overseer-governed vaults, Vault-Tec carried out human experiments on its residents without their consent or knowledge, ranging from being mostly harmless to disturbing and inhumane.

Concept and design

Vault-Tec is a pre-war defense megacorporation responsible for creating the vaults featured throughout the Fallout series. [2] Their purpose of conducting human experiments on its residents began as an idea by Fallout co-creator Tim Cain following the 1997 release of the first Fallout game. [3] [4] [5] Despite its slogan "revolutionizing safety for an uncertain future," [6] Vault-Tec is consistently portrayed as a corrupt, [7] unscrupulous corporation with themes of unfettered capitalism. [6]

Vaults

Vault-Tec created vaults throughout the United States with the help of government funding. [8] These vaults served as large fallout shelters used to house civilians and allow for human life to continue in the potentiality of the U.S. being in immediate threat of a nuclear attack. [9] These vaults were Overseer-governed, [8] with Vault-Tec carrying out human experiments on its residents without their consent or knowledge, [9] which ranged from being mostly harmless to inhumane and disturbing. [10] [11] In total, Vault-Tec created 122 vaults, [12] 17 of which, being "control vaults," or vaults not made for human experimenting purposes. [13] Vault-Tec made revenue through selling reserved spots in these vaults. [14] [15] In order to market themselves, Vault-Tec made various products such as lunchboxes and bobbleheads. [16]

Technology and identity

The Pip-Boy, a wearable computer by RobCo Industries, was initially made for pre-war and vault-living use, with many of the device's settings used for inhabitants of Vault-Tec's vaults due to the Pip-Boy being issued to each dweller. [17] [13] The Pip-Boy's useful functionalities have also allowed for it to be used in the wasteland. [17] Fallout 4 features two games created by Vault-Tec that are playable on a Pip-Boy, one of which, titled Red Menace, being a propaganda game against China. [13]

Vault-Tec created V.A.T.S., [13] or the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, a special combat system introduced in Fallout 3 and featured throughout the series. [18] [19] The combat system allows for the player to target the specific limb of an enemy based on chance. [20] [21] Fallout 76 features technology created by Vault-Tec such as portable C.A.M.P.S., [13] and G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) devices. [22]

Vault-Tec's identity is highly represented by Vault Boy, the corporation mascot. [23] [24] [25]

Appearances

The first of Vault-Tec's creations appeared in the first Fallout game, where the player originates from Vault 13, one of many created by Vault-Tec. [26] Although Vault-Tec's concept of conducting human experiments was not yet developed, Vault 13 still had remnants of the yet-existent concept as the Overseers were tasked with keeping its residents in the vault no matter what, for as long as possible. [27]

Vault-Tec's lore formulized with the release of Fallout 2 , [8] in which Cain described one of vaults as being a "control vault," explaining it as giving the company "a purpose beyond just 'let's save some of the American population then release them back into a radioactive dead zone.'" [28]

In Fallout 4, the player is guided through a tutorial sequence where they enter Vault 111 and, as part of Vault-Tec's experiment within this vault, becoming cryogenically frozen for two centuries. [29] [30] The game also has features the Vault-Tec Workshop expansion pack, in which the player has the ability to construct and customize the initially-empty Vault 88. [31] [32]

In Fallout Shelter , the player builds and manages their own vault. [33]

In Fallout 76, which takes place in West Virginia, the player is an inhabitant of Vault 76, [34] one of the 17 "control" vaults. According to a log in Fallout 3, one of the workers for Vault 76, the assistant CEO of Vault-Tec, was kidnapped by aliens. [35] Vault-Tec runs an institution in the area known as Vault-Tec University, which features a simulation vault for training purposes. [36]

Vault-Tec buildings and structures

Some of Vault-Tec's buildings and structures have been featured throughout the series. The Vault-Tec Headquarters is landmark featured in Fallout 3, which takes place in Washington, D.C., and the Vault-Tec Regional HQ, [13] Vault-Tec's headquarters in Boston, [37] is a landmark in Fallout 4. [13] Additionally, "Among the Stars" is a Vault-Tec amusement park attraction in the Fallout 4: Nuka-World expansion pack. The Vault-Tec University is also a landmark in Fallout 76. [13] The Fallout television series also reveals that Vault-Tec has a headquarter building in California. [37]

Fallout show

Vault-Tec is featured in the 2024 television adaptation Fallout . It goes into more depth surrounding its pre-war corporate events, [38] contributing heavily to the plot of the series. [2] Four of their vaults were featured in the series: three neighboring vaults, Vault 33, Vault 32 and Vault 31, as well as Vault 4. [39] Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), a dweller of Vault 33, leaves in search of her Overseer father Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan) who was kidnapped during a New California Republic (NCR) raid led by Lee Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury). [40] [41] One of the earliest mentions of the corporation itself takes place in the second episode where Enclave-defector Siggi Wilzig (Michael Emerson) takes "Vault-Tec Plan D," a cyanide pill which he described as "the most humane product that Vault-Tec ever made." [8] [42] It becomes later revealed in the show that Vault-Tec, [43] led by representative Barb Howard (Frances Turner), [44] was proposing dropping nuclear bombs throughout the United States to initiate a nuclear war, allowing themselves to be the only ones left thanks to the Vaults. [43] [45] High-ranking employees of the corporation, including Hank, were cryogenically frozen inside of Vault 31, as discovered by Norm MacLean (Moisés Arias). [46] It is also revealed that Hank dropped a nuclear bomb on the NCR's headquarters, Shady Sands, [47] following the NCR's rise in political power over California. [48]

The show featured an easter egg by providing a Vault-Tec phone number through an in-show advertisement casting actor and Vault-Tec spokesman Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins), [49] [50] which viewers could actually contact. [51] [52]

Reception

Vault-Tec has been placed in several top-ranking lists for evil corporations within video games, including by The Guardian , [58] GamesRadar+ , [59] PC Gamer , [60] and TheGamer. [61] Sarah Milner of Polygon described Vault-Tec as having "little interest in saving the population – its corporate leadership was playing the long game, using the majority of the Vaults to conduct social experiments and scientific research, free from the restraints of regulations or ethics." [8]
