Fallout 4: Vault-Tec Workshop

Session Respect Score

AI estimate · 0/5 votes
0.0/ 10

"A relaxing construction and management DLC where you build and manage an underground vault with minimal combat pressure."

Heads up: While primarily a building/management experience, it's anchored in Fallout 4's shooter-RPG framework, so you may need to exit the workshop and handle main-game combat to progress.

About

Vault-Tec Workshop is the fifth add-on, and third workshop add-on for Fallout 4. It triggers automatically once level 20 is reached and the player character is outside the Institute. Build a brighter future underground with the all-new Vault-Tec Workshop. Create a massive Vault and attract new Dwellers using pre-war industrial kits complete with retro-nostalgic furniture, lighting, and art. And like every good Overseer, run Vault-Tec approved experiments on your Dwellers to learn what makes an ideal citizen. Vault-Tec has given you the tools, the rest is up to you!
