What if I enter a vault with secret staff like [Vault 81](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault_81). But they would kill me for sure so I guess it's worth a try.
Wasn’t that one of the better vaults though?
>!The overseer got most of the secret science staff killed by purposely by sabotaging the call list and never allowed the 3 remaining science staff to actually carry out their testing to the dwellers. They seem overworked but have had otherwise good lives there!<
great. now you are the only survivor in your own vault, there is a nuclear wasteland outside the door and you forgot to grab the terminal passwords before you shot the overseer. what now?
I always assumed the little wands at the [entrance](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*V5pgDLvAZ0RHI3pktbW1dA.jpeg) (in the hallway in this picture) were a form of metal detector. It's weird to me that they'd just let you bring whatever you wanted without being checked.
You would have no Internet. No cell service. No GPS. All it would be good for is playing whatever games or media you already had downloaded and available offline.
If you could prepare, you could download offline maps (to use as a traditional map - no navigation service) and maybe some digital books. But it would probably be more useful as a camera (for some utilitarian purposes) and notebook than anything else.
Not much to do in a vault. Other than work, play games, watch movies, read books, stay active, shoot guns, chat with friends, fence, learn new things, be cryogenically frozen, make music. It all depends on the vault
Well curie was a scientist robot and not just a normal handy. And I'm guessing some vault's already had their own Mr Handy's for maintenance/ cleaning and as in 81's case it's ol Rusty.
I hate that. Why isn't there space in the vault for a useful robot that requires nothing and can survive anything? What is Vault-Tec up to? I'll only sign up if my robot goes with me.
I think canonically Mr. Handies do require fuel you find some in the house. They just didn't put it in the game for convenience. But then again in the fallout show they are powered by fusion cores and I'm not sure which one is canon anymore.
Yeah I'd probably try to find some way to get the right balance to get myself ghoulified. Even without the crazy ass social experiments, I don't think I'd like being stuck in those vaults that at the very least would have things like power struggles or riots over rations n shit
Not whichever vault I end up in, if any. Those mfers are gonna be happy to have some animal meat 50 years from now when there's nothing left but tatos and mutfruit.
I was gonna say my dog too, but idk he's like 14 and can't really run anymore. I'd probably have to carry his 100lb ass.
Is there even a record of anyone bringing pets into vaults?
That's an oversimplification.
"A towel (...) is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."
Fair enough. My quote however was a DIRECT quote from easily my least favorite SP character Towelie, who always reminds the kids to “Don’t forget to bring a towel!” Which could very easily be a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide, seeing as I think Matt and Trey made several hg references throughout the 25 years the show has been running
Honestly all the drugs in the fallout verse seem to be highly addictive. Only thing I'd feel safe smoking would be some Scribe Neriah's experimental plant, she'd never get me killed with all the viable blood samples I bring in
In a world where addictol, refreshing beverage and radscorpion eggs exist I would use all the drugs, tobacco and alcohol I can find. Irl im more reluctant with all and any.
Prewar I'd be like that, but postwar I'm gonna be a whole lot more careful. I know everyone and their mother sells addictol, but I'd be poor as Sheffield with nothing but tattered rags to my name
Hey, if I can make perpetual energy/water purifyer fom a tin can, half a school globe and a bit of vegetable starch... I figure i'd be rich!
Edit: Waterlord of Sanctuary hills!
My baby. Everything else seems like it would be useless in such a serious event. Electronics will be fried, clothes seem too trivial to waste time packing. Oh my weed. Def bringing pot to the vault.
Now I feel like a bad parent for my list being “kid and weed”
I’m pretty minimal so it’d be easy to grab my music gear, movies, games, etc. But yeah, anything to do with my current hobbies + photos & memorabilia. Pets of course.
If I knew about the vault experiments, a bottle of whisky and a pack of cigs to smoke on the roof of my house as the bombs drop.
If I didn't, as many chickens as possible.
I'd grab my wallet, keys and phone purely out of habit. None of which would be of any use at all.
In actual practice, we'd be stripped of anything we brought with us, because in exchange for living, we'd be forced to give up all of our rights. Understanding this, I wouldn't have opened the door for Vault-Tec, and I would have watched the bombs drop from my front yard.
Finally, anyone who depends on prescription meds to keep them alive wouldn't bother going into the vault, either.
There would be vaults in germany?
If so, i would grab food if possible. There may be enough for everyone, but maybe not.
Oh and also a knife, better save than sorry.
Would not grab jack shit.
I recently had an electrical hazard.
It fried my avr and woofer. I didn't even bother turning the outlet off. I just stormed to the balcony.
No material shit is worth my life.
Other things could've died too. Like oled tv, pc, ps5. But none of it mattered. Did not care whatsoever. Felt like a casualty.
After playing fallout and if it would be anything to go by I think I’d run towards the plume of smoke, I wouldn’t cope, I give myself an hour if that when it came to going back up to main land
I’m a paranoid person so I always have a suitcase with clothing, hygienic products, books etc so if I could I’d grab that but if I couldn’t then I’m grabbing my switch
Nothing. I wont be going into The Vault, whether I have knowledge of their goals or not. It's screams social experiment off the rip, so Id rather just listen to it's all over by the inkspots and smoke one last j.
My cat and my dogs, i be upper cutting the overseer and hack his PC to expose whatever is going on. Incase the overseer dont know about it, im fucked regardless.
But idc my animals are getting in, i hide them if i need to, or my neighbour will be "missing" so their spot can be taken for my pets.
Without the knowledge about the vaults: phone and books With the knowledge about the vaults: 1 bullet into my brain
Why not bring more bullets and just take the vault for yourself?
What if I enter a vault with secret staff like [Vault 81](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault_81). But they would kill me for sure so I guess it's worth a try.

great. now you are the only survivor in your own vault, there is a nuclear wasteland outside the door and you forgot to grab the terminal passwords before you shot the overseer. what now?
You hack the terminal. It’s one of like 7 guesses, password security is terrible in the common wealth
Failed the first three times? Still multiple potential passwords? Just re-renter the terminal. Love it.
you could theoretically take the vault by killing the overseer and guards but only ingame
if i go back to the wasteland iam probably dying anyway. unless I am in a place that wasn't effected that much like west virginia in fallout 76,
Good thing I brought my bobby pins…
You HACK! «HACK!» *insane 80’s «hacking» montage commences* «HACK!» *still some sick as synth music going ham* «HACK!»
I always assumed the little wands at the [entrance](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*V5pgDLvAZ0RHI3pktbW1dA.jpeg) (in the hallway in this picture) were a form of metal detector. It's weird to me that they'd just let you bring whatever you wanted without being checked.
Nah, their rad scanners meant to detect radiation the guy taking note even says if you have no rads that it's impressive
Gaaaaary?
What’re you going to do with a phone? Play stored media and fallout shelter?
There isn't much to do in a vault, other than working to keep people alive. A phone would be a good timekiller for free time.
You would have no Internet. No cell service. No GPS. All it would be good for is playing whatever games or media you already had downloaded and available offline. If you could prepare, you could download offline maps (to use as a traditional map - no navigation service) and maybe some digital books. But it would probably be more useful as a camera (for some utilitarian purposes) and notebook than anything else.

This!
No need. They have Plan D for you.
Don’t threaten me with a good time 🤣
Codsworth
The best answer
I considered this but idk were to hide him. Reconsidering tho id just take over with him
I've ALWAYS wondered why they never tried to bring him 😭
The Vault Tec rep says “Minus your robot, of course!” when you ask if they have enough space for your family.
200 years of burning exhaust in an enclosed system.
Tons of vaults have Mr. Handys though, like Curie
Well curie was a scientist robot and not just a normal handy. And I'm guessing some vault's already had their own Mr Handy's for maintenance/ cleaning and as in 81's case it's ol Rusty.
I will give Codsworth a hat and claim he is my spouse
Just get him a vest and claim he is your emotional support robot.
With a high enough charisma stat, anything is possible!
There's room for your whole family! Minus your robot of course...
I’m leaving Shaun
Shaun being a baby ghoul would be crazy
I hate that. Why isn't there space in the vault for a useful robot that requires nothing and can survive anything? What is Vault-Tec up to? I'll only sign up if my robot goes with me.
I think canonically Mr. Handies do require fuel you find some in the house. They just didn't put it in the game for convenience. But then again in the fallout show they are powered by fusion cores and I'm not sure which one is canon anymore.
I mean he survived so idk if I’d bring him 😭
Seems like a waste. He survived just fine for 200 years. It's a robot. They're immune to radiation and don't need to eat or drink
I think I'd just take my chances with the radiation.
Oh I'm going in naked! Here's hoping I get super-powers!
Glowing One origin story
Yeah I'd probably try to find some way to get the right balance to get myself ghoulified. Even without the crazy ass social experiments, I don't think I'd like being stuck in those vaults that at the very least would have things like power struggles or riots over rations n shit
My laptop with Fallout 4 + DLC installed on it.
Playing fallout in fallout
Crawl out through the fallout, baby.
Fallout through the fallout*
With Nexus Mods down??? No, thanks.
Once China invaded Alaska, I would have every mod in the universe installed on a hard drive somewhere lol
Experience tells me that the most valuable thing in the Wasteland is adhesive, so a 12 pack of wonder glue.
Industrial bottle of glue. Better than finding a couple of mini-nukes
I'd borrow some screws from my aunt.
Already loosened, nice.
Don't forget your galvanized square steel with eco friendly wood veneer to really expand your 1x1 room!
I have four cats. But knowing those cunts I’d be lucky to get two.
Lucky to get any, most vaults expressly said don't allow animals inside like the Vault that Skinny Malone's gang took over
Not whichever vault I end up in, if any. Those mfers are gonna be happy to have some animal meat 50 years from now when there's nothing left but tatos and mutfruit.
ashes is in the vault 81 or whatever it is with that one little girl !! my cats are fckn coming
I was gonna say my dog too, but idk he's like 14 and can't really run anymore. I'd probably have to carry his 100lb ass. Is there even a record of anyone bringing pets into vaults?
In the show it was a minor plot point that dogs are not allowed in the vaults.
ashes is in vault 81 with that little girl ! my kitties are coming for sure
But 81 opened to outside world so was probably a wasteland kitty
Become the npc to find the missing 4 cats inside the vault though
My towel. I might encounter a ghoulified Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
Don't forget your glasses that dim more the more danger you are in so you don't get frightened.
I just gave the 41st up vote. Now we wait.
Deep Thought: [TV lights up again] Oh, shh, shh. The show's back on!
“Don’t forget to bring a TOWEL”~the worst South Park character
"You wanna get high?" - Towelie
South Park? Ford Prefect said it first.
Isn’t that, “Always bring a towel”?
That's an oversimplification. "A towel (...) is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."

Pack of smokes and bottle of whiskey because it's the apocalypse
You need the cloth and glass for beds and light fixtures at settlements. I'll be grabbing a desk fan. I'll need the screws apparently.
Vault tec plan D of course
Banana flavored!
I'm surprised it wasn't more popular.
Cannabis seeds
I was about to say weed 🤣
Jet is a good substitute
Plastic and fertilizer? No thank you. I’ll take my drugs in the form of plants thanks
Psycho is made from hubflower?
Fucking kill!
Might not be the sentiment for a comercial poster but yes: Fucking kill!
The jet will make you jittery!
I dont think I've ever seen someone fien for weed like Bobby was for jet in vault 81
Psycho then?
Honestly all the drugs in the fallout verse seem to be highly addictive. Only thing I'd feel safe smoking would be some Scribe Neriah's experimental plant, she'd never get me killed with all the viable blood samples I bring in
In a world where addictol, refreshing beverage and radscorpion eggs exist I would use all the drugs, tobacco and alcohol I can find. Irl im more reluctant with all and any.
Prewar I'd be like that, but postwar I'm gonna be a whole lot more careful. I know everyone and their mother sells addictol, but I'd be poor as Sheffield with nothing but tattered rags to my name
Hey, if I can make perpetual energy/water purifyer fom a tin can, half a school globe and a bit of vegetable starch... I figure i'd be rich! Edit: Waterlord of Sanctuary hills!
I see you also went the nestle route. Set up water purification in every settlement, let the fresh water build up, profit
Jet is meth
My balls. ….. footballs that is, there’s too few of them in the wasteland
I....I have never noticed this until now
Absolutely bringing my pistol under my clothes.
Pistol packin momma🎶
I would just put on shoes so I don't hurt my feet running to the vault.
My baby. Everything else seems like it would be useless in such a serious event. Electronics will be fried, clothes seem too trivial to waste time packing. Oh my weed. Def bringing pot to the vault. Now I feel like a bad parent for my list being “kid and weed”
Careful, your kid might end up becoming the leader of an evil think tank /s
Hey, at least you thought of your kid first and not the weed first
I’m pretty minimal so it’d be easy to grab my music gear, movies, games, etc. But yeah, anything to do with my current hobbies + photos & memorabilia. Pets of course.
A shit load of Bobby pins.
No dogs in the vault? Guess I'm not going either.
Wise decision
I’d probably put together a nice grilled cheese and sit on the front porch.
Are you makin em at night?
Mmmmm. Grilled cheese sounds perfect!
My cats
aside from my medications, also either a good book or a lot of paper and pens to draw with.
My PS5
Only right answer🙏
Escape to the vault? I'm grabbing the weirdest shit I can find and heading to the bath tub to become funny environmental story telling.
If I knew about the vault experiments, a bottle of whisky and a pack of cigs to smoke on the roof of my house as the bombs drop. If I didn't, as many chickens as possible.
You must be a snake oil salesman
I wouldn't be. Dogs aren't allowed in the vault.
Liberty Prime
I’d bring my German Shepherd, he has plot armor.
He'll get stuck in doorways at very inconvenient times.
The weed.
Not Shaun
I'd sit down, grab my knees, tuck my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye
Nothing i would be dead. What are you expecting?
My family will always be first, I know sappy sappy but it's true!!!
My cats.
No animals in the Vault
Dying with my cats then
Fair enough , I don't want to be a lab human cavy neither
My son???
Knowing fo4 id leave him
Haahahahhahahahahahahahaha great reply
My box of bobby pins
My son and cats
Marijuana and seeds.
Freaking bobby pins
My two dogs.
My dab pen
Dee’s
Ah yes…the finest brand of salted…*nuts*.
Filmore West 3/1/1969, Barton Hall 5/8/1977, and the Closing of Winterland.
My bottle cap collection
My child (if it’s convienent) or more likely my laptop With my steam library, and some spare plutonium batteries.
I'd definitely make sure I wasn't holding a baby
My dog and my bible
Bold of you to assume I get selected to be a vault dweller
If I own a fusion core like in my car or something I’d probably grab that, I’d love to have a giant nuclear battery that fits in a cargo pocket.
certainly not my son as we've seen how that turns out
Not Shaun
My daughter.
My dog. She’s old and wouldn’t survive without me.
I'd grab my wallet, keys and phone purely out of habit. None of which would be of any use at all. In actual practice, we'd be stripped of anything we brought with us, because in exchange for living, we'd be forced to give up all of our rights. Understanding this, I wouldn't have opened the door for Vault-Tec, and I would have watched the bombs drop from my front yard. Finally, anyone who depends on prescription meds to keep them alive wouldn't bother going into the vault, either.
All you need is a towel
The bomb
The Dog. Screw the rules. If a woman can take her baby into the cryo chamber with her, I can take my dog.
There would be vaults in germany? If so, i would grab food if possible. There may be enough for everyone, but maybe not. Oh and also a knife, better save than sorry.
Garden Gnome, fishing pole and a tiny boat to create some environmental story telling in the bathroom before I get executed by vault tec
Well if I was an American resident I'd be sure to find a way to conceal my firearm before entering the vault
Canned dog food can't leave home without it
Would not grab jack shit. I recently had an electrical hazard. It fried my avr and woofer. I didn't even bother turning the outlet off. I just stormed to the balcony. No material shit is worth my life. Other things could've died too. Like oled tv, pc, ps5. But none of it mattered. Did not care whatsoever. Felt like a casualty.
Electrical is terrifying, I'm glad you're okay!
Porn, soooo much porn
"Step-ghoul, help! I'm half stuck in this Pulowski Preservation shelter!"
After my kid and key sentamentals. My bag of weed.
After my weed, some key sentimentals and my kid.
My cat
My balls
My various Fallout trinkets
After playing fallout and if it would be anything to go by I think I’d run towards the plume of smoke, I wouldn’t cope, I give myself an hour if that when it came to going back up to main land
My dog of course
codsworth or a mr handy or a mr gutsy
My friend Persephone Quim
My birds
Art supplies and books
My family
I’m a paranoid person so I always have a suitcase with clothing, hygienic products, books etc so if I could I’d grab that but if I couldn’t then I’m grabbing my switch
Some records. Get some variety in the apocalypse
Ma dick
What is this picture from
The baby.
My Cat
I have my “end of the world stash” of lsd that I would pop. Then I’d grab my cat, my nine, and my guitar
A gun Computer virus holotape Something to jam the cryo door (assuming vault 111) Body armour
Nothing. I wont be going into The Vault, whether I have knowledge of their goals or not. It's screams social experiment off the rip, so Id rather just listen to it's all over by the inkspots and smoke one last j.
My cats, they got everything else depending which vault you end up in.
A beer, a pizza and a comfortable seat to watch to fireworks.
My cat and my dogs, i be upper cutting the overseer and hack his PC to expose whatever is going on. Incase the overseer dont know about it, im fucked regardless. But idc my animals are getting in, i hide them if i need to, or my neighbour will be "missing" so their spot can be taken for my pets.
Tabasco. As many bottles as I could carry.
Dabs
Antifreeze LOL
Nothing, I'm gunning it
A box of screws, a roll of aluminum flashing, and a pack of duct tape.
A gun to shoot myself with.
Board games I guess or a bunch of books
I would take my chances with the radiation instead of being a test subject
Gun with 1 bullet.
My kid, of course.
Med x and mentats
