Vault 34

Fallout: New Vegas guide · Exploring the wasteland

Vault 34 is a heavily flooded, irradiated Vault that served as the ancestral home of the Boomers before they fled to Nellis Air Force Base. Navigating its labyrinthine halls requires draining flooded corridors using submerged terminal passwords and dealing with ghoulified residents to reach the reactor and the armory. Inside, you can resolve the reactor crisis by either saving trapped survivors or stabilizing the Vault's power to aid the NCR Sharecropper Farms.

Search submerged desks in the flooded technical and security areas to find drowned technicians carrying the passwords needed to drain the water.
