The Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide is a publication by Prima Games. The guide contains strategies, maps, walkthroughs, and reference data that a player may find useful while playing Fallout 76, as well as some additional background information not found within the game itself about its setting and locations. The edition contains a bonus of a free code to access an eGuide on any web device.
With Fallout 76's many updates, the guide is now outdated, as it only reflects the game as it was presented prior to release. Official Prima guides for updates such as Wastelanders or Steel Dawn have not been issued and the company's print operations closed in 2019. The eGuide was advertised to be updated for new content, however this has never occurred.

- [p.317] Greg's Mine Supply is listed as having the "factory" icon for its map marker; in-game, it actually has the "low-rise" icon.
- [p.326] The name of the secondary location "Tygart Scrap Truck (I91)" claims that it is on Interstate 91 (which does not exist in-game); the road is actually Route 91. This is fixed with the next secondary location, "Road Subsidence (Route 91)."
- [p.365] Philippi Battlefield Cemetery is listed as having the "dome" icon for its map marker; in-game, it actually has the "graveyard" icon.
- [pp.376,382,385,388] The Hornwright air purifier sites in the Ash Heap are referred to as air cleanser sites on all four respective locations.
- [p.389] In the description for the AMS testing site, Atomic Mining Services is erroneously referred to as "Automated Mining Systems."
