Top 10 Worst Fallout Vaults Ranked From Least to Most Messed Up

If you’re watching the Fallout TV show you might already suspect the Vault-Tec Vaults aren’t as safe as promised. In fact, as we’ve discovered over and over in the Fallout games, the Vaults are secretly social experiments performed on a captive population which are for the most part, extremely messed up. Contemplate the 10 worst Fallout vaults, in order of increasing messed-upness, and all of them so bad we’d rather take our chances in the wasteland.

Despite only being in a Penny Arcade comic, I believe that Vault 77, the vault with a single man and a *load* of puppets is canon

A bunch of funny shit was established to be cannon from that comic in the Fallout Bible. Like Vault 68 which was 999 men and 1 woman. Though my favorite vault is still 21 from New Vegas, where every dispute was to be solved through gambling, because of course it was.

[@johnpenguinthe3rd13]

Fallout 76 is coming out with an update in a few months from now that expands the map in the southern area and also adds in a brand new story (several new quests, new characters, etc) which have to do with Vault 63 (which has been sealed and remained a mystery since the game began but will be opening up when that map expansion starts in a few months) and if I think what I think they are going to do with Vault 63, then Vault 63 might be pretty high on the list of most messed up vaults in the entire series.

[@Veladus]

Not even that. They're only doing vaults that appeared in the games, not including the ones that are canon but not shown in the games. Vaults 68 & 69 are tied for the most horrific. I forget which was which, but one had 499 men & 1 woman, the other had 499 women & 1 man. They both go the same SUPER rapey way, and the more one knows about human behavior, the more horrific one tends to think it'll go.

[@haravikk]

@@tranz2deep While that's a benefit (and prevents anyone from closing up the vault, since they wouldn't survive), he also did it in order to prevent access to the engineering sections of the vault (i.e- its reactor) which is presumably what is being used to provide power to New Vegas under House's control. If you spare Benny while in the Tops and follow him fast enough you can get down the elevator he flees into. This leads to a basement where a tunnel has been blasted into an inaccessible part of the vault, though it's just a corridor with bulkhead doors in the vanilla game (nothing more to explore). Cool thing to find though.

[@justinsinke2088]

Ironically, Vault 11 is so tragic because it's one of the less overtly cruel ones. The people were far less lab rats than other vaults, but the fact that the moral dilemma led to such meaningless violence makes it so tragic.

[@jurriendevries3673]

I'd argue it's actually very cruel, but not really that clever. The residents have no idea how true this is, they're just making the choice, every single time, between the one and the many. At any given time, killing one person for the sake of everyone is a good choice. The problem is that they don't have a power to stand up to. As far as they know, there's literally nothing they can do about the situation, the vault might as well be a god. This same moral dilemma was done better (but equally f'd up) by Caesar's Legion in Nipton, there was actually an enemy to stand up to, and the group might have had a chance, if their individual cowardice didn't stop them. None of these people deserved death, mind you, but the dilemma was there in Nipton, not in the vault.

[@justinsinke2088]

@@jurriendevries3673 Didn't say it wasn't cruel, just not quite as overtly cruel. In theory, they could have chosen to sacrifice no one that first year and all would have been fine. However, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" was in effect, and a once a year sacrifice seemed, for a while, a necessary evil to keep the group alive. The problem arose when their morality against the sacrifice and how it was selected was directed at each other, not the system, and they wiped themselves out fighting over whether or not to sacrifice. That's why, if I recall the lore right, most of the survivors chose to end their own lives rather than live with the guilt that all their violence was for nothing. Where other vaults directly made the inhabitants lives a living hell for the experiment, Vault 11 had the occupants make their own hell because of the situation they believed themselves in.

[@ooferrell]

Is based on a short story called the lottery ... we're they instead held a lottery for the town and who ever won...was stoned to death

[@PsychoMachado]

​@@justinsinke2088in theory, choosing someone to sacrifice every year could be not that bad. But when they made corrupt parties choosing their candidates using bribery and blackmail is where everything went to shit. The issue is what was said above: there was no way to stand up against the injustice of sacrificing someone every year. The people would have to collectively choose to die. The only way this was achieved was, when almost everyone died and the 5 survivors just accepted their death. And then the guy that kills everyone is so outraged and ashamed he would not allow anyone to use the data gathered in the experiment

[@LegendStormcrow]

I'd say it was among the most overtly cruel. They made public execution a literal popularity contest, and made it where after a few generations the entire population would likely be sociopaths by genetics. If they successfully rebelled against the program you get a rush of sewer-slides due to the guilt of killing a bunch of innocent people and the fact that lives were ruined to appease Vault-Tec.

Vault 87 in the third Fallout game is one of the more disturbing vaults in the series. Vault 87 was built to test the effects of the forced evolutionary virus or F.E.V for short on humans. It's effects was that it turned people into big green humanoid creatures called super mutants. There's a terminal in the vault that shows whether people died from other causes or F.E.V experimentation of which there are many such deaths.

[@oceano87]

Yeah im surprised that one didnt make the list. The entries talked about how the virus would transform your gender into asexual and how it eventually gave the residents increased strength and resilience but eventually would shut down all of their motor functions including brain activity

Vaults 73 (create unstable and violent mutants and hope to control things), 75 (eugenics and Logan's Run collide), and 111 (2 months' of food for staff, indefinite cryogenic hibernation for residents) deserve some mention.

[@kevinlee7678]

Also 111: residents lied to about cryogenic chambers, told they were actually decontamination.

[@MrOsmodeus]

111 gets my vote for worst. it was just straight up murder. staff were set to starve to death, or wander out into radiation to become scavengers. the "residents" were just to be remotely monitored to see how long they'd last until they were non-viable. it's little more than an elevator and a few rooms. gameplay wise it's one of the worst as well, it's a few rooms and an elevator. low effort in and out of lore

[@tranz2deep]

@@MrOsmodeus The social experiment was to see how well and how long the staff of 111 would put up with that crud. The security personnel were not told that cryo "residents" were not to be revived under any circumstances while the technicians and Overseer were and were also told that spare cryo chambers were to be used to store the dead.

[@MrOsmodeus]

@@tranz2deep nope it was test the long term viability of cryogenic suspension. thus the remote monitoring. the staff were supposed to die [conjecture] so that any witnesses to vault 111 don't show up. if society kicked off again 20 years later vault tech doesn't want any prior staff suddenly blurting out a long term experiments existence down at the bar. make sure there is no witnesses to ensure valid long term results. need to know how long you can keep people on ice before they stop working. the corpses of guards are just as valid for testing this. they don't need to be alive, just not freezer burned.

[@daviddaugherty2816]

@MrOsmodeus It's the tutorial dungeon, it wasn't ever going to be anything crazy.

[@mitiamed]

The idea (albeit not finished) of Vault 118 was impressive. Have 10 all-powerful bourgeois elite people serviced by robotic staff do as they pleased with 300 commoners crammed in a much smaller second wing of the vault - but on the way there, they would be shown the posh and spacious 'elite' part of the vault. The purpose was to see how the working class and elite would interact in confined conditions. Vault Tec then wrote that "due to the potential for extreme social interactions" Vault Tec staff should be limited to an Overseer and a few reseach staff. The project never took off because the rich basically decided to immortalize themselves via Robobrain bots, while the 'poor' wing was never built before the bombs dropped.

[@haravikk]

This is one of my favourite vaults, though I do wonder if it qualifies as "worst", since in this case the rich people basically conned VaultTec into building them a vault and helping them to become "immortal". So in a way they did quite well out of it until someone finally got murdered.

[@mitiamed]

@haravikk well yeah, as I said, it's the concept of having a vault that's bound to see unrest and violence that's the evil thing. The end result was either better as you said - or worse if you think about the 300 lives that were just doomed without a chance as the "proletarians" didn't get saved at all

[@xMaugrex]

To 81's credit, a universal cure is a MASSIVE achievement and they made a ton of the stuff, and even managed it in a fairly short period of time WITHOUT needing to infect the dwellers. Only problem is most of it expired, but realistically Curie's still got the recipe for the thing and just needs materials. Not to mention they created the best follower/romanceable character into the bargain.

[@Roshiyu]

Don't forget the harem vaults. 1 man and 99 women. As well as 1 woman and 99 men.

[@RunCreeperRun]

Even worse. It's 999 to 1.

[@Wheeliam_Ironside]

Yeah i feel like what probably happened in these vaults is beyond fucked up

[@beck7607]

Honestly the 99 men, 1 woman vault (68) makes me feel physically unwell thinking about it. The absolute horrors that would have happened.

[@TinKnight]

Technically, those were both non-canon, as they were cut from Fallout 2. But it was 999 to 1 in each...and, honestly, those would've been amongst the best Vaults, assuming there were no other test conditions. Yes, lots of gay/lesbian sex, but it's not like you "have" to do it. And within a couple generations, everything would be more normal-ish (or they would've just died off of natural causes if the "other" was unable to procreate). I'm straight, & I'd definitely sign up for either of those instead of pretty much any others (inc Vaults 31-33 from the show).

@@beck7607 It depends on whether they can open the vault door or not.

I'm so into us getting more Falloutsidexbox videos. So thanks to that show bringing them back.

[@robwilkes3351]

I'm playing Fallout 4 and exploring Vault 95 as I listen to this. I'm surprised it only made it to #4. I can't wait to see what's WORSE.

[@joeboo8626]

Now do the "Bottom 10 Best" vault list

[@DFloyd84]

Vault 8 was a control vault, so no intended experiment. After it opened and the inhabitants used their GECK, they established Vault City. Anybody who played Fallout 2 knows how awful Vault City is. Not like New Reno, which is a wretched hive, it's a stratified authoritarian state where the original Vault dwellers and their descendants are the only true citizens with respected rights, while travelers and hopeful immigrants are looked down upon and barely tolerated.

[@geoffnemeth3930]

This…this is the kind of list we want and need. Cheers outsidexbox!

[@star2705]

Throwback. Fallout videos in 2015 were what got me into this channel.

[@chrisball3778]

Vault 11 is obviously the most memorable overall, but Vault 22 from FNV is my personal favourite. Everything about it, from the way you're told about it, the eerie, luscious foliage growing around the entrance, to the weird plant monsters inside is brilliant environmental storytelling.

[@VonBlade]

I'm guessing Andys Vault was designed to make him say the word vault so often that vault loses all meaning, and nobody thinks of vault as jumping but vaults being Vault-Tec vaults only.

[@ApetureTestSubject]

Huh. I'm pretty sure some of these entries are reused scripts from previous Fallout videos, same wording and everything. No judgements though. It just makes this sort of a compilation of the best of the best. I'm more surprise that those older videos are so indelibly embedded in my brain that I noticed.

[@WarrHoll]

I'm honestly surprised that 75 didn't make the list but 114 did.

[@silverjohn6037]

The thing to remember is the Vault experiments were designed by Stanislaus Braun. Betty from Tranquility Lane/Vault 112. So maybe less experiments and more sadistic mind games.

[@NGMonocrom]

Vault 11 ~ It's implied one person survived, and he somehow made it out of the vault. _How could you leave out Vault 77? Easily the #1 spot on this list._

[@bobsmith7066]

I’m sorry, how many did you list? How dare you commit the heresy of making a list that is not seven entries long!?!?

[@remymartin15]

I think PlayStation access has a patent on 7 lol

[@bobbyt8547]

Vault 114 sounds like a great idea. Let's try it.

[@Janoha17]

Oh, Vault 19's dwellers survived, they escaped the Vault, took over Vault 3, and began terrorizing the area around New Vegas as the Fiends.

[@LordHammer33]

Well, the experiment in Vault 12 was a retcon since Interplay hadn't decided on the Vaults being experiments yet when they made Fallout 1. In the original game the door was simply broken

[@AntonioTheTurtle]

Thanks I didn’t know that.

[@blacksheepwall79]

My first entry into Fallout was Fallout 3, and I remember the first vault other than the main vault you start from I entered, I read all the lore and tried to figure out what was going on. I had no clue they were mostly experiments. It took me a while to find out. "Oh wait, these are all evil experimentation facilities?!?!!?"

[@oxfanblink4115]

Hey a birthday 🎂 double upload 😃 off oxtra team. Not a bad way to relax at night

[@RidireOiche]

I think Vault 404 from the Fallout Shelter mobile game would be the worst to end up in. Sure its great at first but then a resource problem occurs and the overseer over compensates by running the vault like a machine with the dwellers merely becoming cogs in that machine forced to work, train, and breed, in a eugenics program to create a perfectly capable race of dwellers with zero flaws. Generations later when vault404 is basically self sustaining with highly capable dwellers the overseer gets bored and just disappears, never coming back. A confession Vault 404 was my vault...

[@l1lunc1v1l]

Do a lists on the best vaults. I'm sure the best one is Vault 8.

[@Dark_Tale]

There are so many messed up vaults that it would be easier to make a list of good vaults that actually helped its occupants survive and DIDN'T turn them into lab rats.

[@Hunter-Sh]

"6 bizarre quests fallout 4 needs to top commenter edition" from 8 years ago was the video suggested to me after watching this one and the vault 112 section of the exact same in both videos. Is it an Easter egg, a callback, or just you saving tome by using some old footage?

[@daviddaugherty2816]

They had a list about vaults pre-Fallout that was _very_ similar to this one. Entries from before Fallout 4 are basically word-for-word from that video.

no Vault 22? that's a shock.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Can agree that the TV series' fashion sense is surprisingly good. Anyways... 10 - Some would argue that this is a good Vault. 9 - Oh, this. Love The Storyteller series for exploring the place and its unnerving legacy. 8 - If they killed each other, *where are the bodies?* Not a one is seen in or nearby the Vault. 7 - Admittedly a good Vault, if too Mary Sue-ish on its aims. 6 - Love the quest (and that's coming from someone who isn't a lover of FO3), but dang, that Vault... 5 - Good point there, the rest of FO3 becoming a lucid dream after this point. 4 - Some sleeper agent they turned out to be. 3 - Gotta appreciate classic duology Vaults. 2 - Shame we can't wake them all up from their lucid dream. 1 - Oh, the sins of humanity... Kind of weird seeing different HUD colors, like having New Vegas orange for FO4.

[@jtrevor99]

That vaults 68, 69 and 70 (with 999 men / 1 woman, 999 women / 1 man, and no clothing available respectively) didn't even make the list shows how messed up Vault-Tec was.

Vault 101 from Fallout 3 was a control vault. Also, Vault 111 (Fallout 4) is supposedly also a control vault, as well as Vault 76.

@@dandavis5533 101 had a relatively benign experiment (never open, venerate the Overseer), but wasn't a control Vault. And 111 was a cryogenics experiment, that obviously wasn't prepared for an actual nuclear exchange. Vaults 3, 8, 13, and 76 are known control Vaults. (8 and 76 opened up and did their ostensible job of rebuilding, 3 and 13 decided to stay closed until water issues forced them to open up...didn't work out terribly well for either.)

Wasn’t there a vault that trapped a bunch of people with a panther? Or a vault that trapped a single woman with something like 20 or 100 men and another that did the same in reverse? I should think that those would create their own forms of insanity, sooner or later.

Vault 43 which had 10 men, 5 women and a panther. Vault 68 and 69 each had 1000 men/women to 1 of the opposite sex within the vault.
