Vault 13
Location from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda
The vault that started it all — when the water chip broke, one dweller was sent into the unknown, and the Fallout saga began with a closing door and a terrified step forward.
Also known as: Vault 13, The Water Chip Vault, The Original Vault
What They Know
- The vault experiment was 200 years of complete isolation — essentially a control vault, but with a deliberately fragile water chip
- The water chip failure forced the Overseer to send one dweller outside, beginning the events of the original Fallout
- After the Vault Dweller saved the vault, the Overseer exiled them — fearing their stories would inspire others to leave
- Deathclaws later occupied the vault after it was abandoned by its human residents
- Many Vault 13 refugees helped found Arroyo, the tribal village from Fallout 2
- The GECK from Vault 13 was used to help rebuild civilization in the wasteland
