Fallout 76 shelters

For an overview of all shelter related articles, see shelter.

Shelters are an expansion to the C.A.M.P. system in Fallout 76, introduced in the Steel Dawn update, providing players with interior spaces that can be decorated and modified while benefiting from relaxed build limits.

Background[]

The purpose of the Shelters project was to produce unique interior expansions to homes.^[1] They were advertised as homes of the future for ideal living in a post-apocalyptic world.^[2] Jameson Grillo and Aaron Bradie were two of the scientists working on the project.^[3]

Characteristics[]

Shelters are instanced C.A.M.P.-like interiors with separate budgets and relaxed building rules, but also act as separate homes from the C.A.M.P. proper, having both their own build budget and special Vault-Tec themed decorations or house parts that can be only used in the Shelter. Certain types of objects are prohibited, and different shelter types may have different entrance designs. On the world map, the C.A.M.P.s of teammates with Shelters are marked with a small radiation icon. A terminal at the Shelters Claim Center acts as an in-game help guide to various Shelter features.

Features[]

Shelters have the following unique features:

Instanced interior with increased budget independent from C.A.M.P. and other Shelters
Objects can be placed without support (i.e. floating)
Can toggle object snapping on/off
Relaxed object boundary/clipping restrictions
Persistent interiors even after moving C.A.M.P.
Death inside a Shelter doesn't drop a loot bag
Control panel may be used to repair or scrap all objects
Built-in "foundation" floors with standard snapping points
Shelter entrances may be placed inside other Shelters
Teammates may build in each other's instances
Teammate C.A.M.P.s containing unlocked Shelters have a "Shelter" icon next to the standard C.A.M.P. icon
Objects from the following categories cannot be built: Allies, Food, Water, Resources, Displays, and Vendors

Variants[]

Note: Shelters initially used a build radius and height limitation to determine build area, but this was scrapped starting with the abandoned mine shelter. All have a build budget of 700 with the exception of server room, which doesn't have a budget set.

↑ Vault Dweller: "What are Shelters?"
Mr. Clark: "Shelters are expansions for your home. Each Shelter is a unique interior that comes ready to be built in and decorated by its owner."
(Mr. Clark's dialogue)
↑ Vault Dweller: "Tell me more about Shelters."
Mr. Clark: "Gladly! Shelters are the homes of the future, perfect for post-apocalyptic living. Each Shelter is a unique interior ready to be decorated! All Shelters come equipped with workshop functionality to allow you to create the home of your dreams - an escape from the dangers of Appalachia. Shelters are accessible via entrances like the one I just distributed to you. Simply place the entrance in your C.A.M.P. and step into your new home! Is there anything else I can help you with?"

↑ Vault Dweller: "Other people have been here?"
Mr. Clark: "A few, over the years. Two of the scientists who were working on the Shelters project before the war used this Claim Center to hide from the bombs. They left in search of greener pastures once the blasts were over and I never saw them again. The Claim Center was empty for a long time after that. Mr. Gill is the only other person who's ever been inside. Aside from yourself, of course.*Sigh* Such a shame. So much good marketing gone to waste."
