The Vault-Tec headquarters in Los Angeles was the Vault-Tec Corporation's main office in California.[Supplementary 1]
Background[]
It was located very close to the Los Angeles Vault.[RPG 1]
Notes[]
Another Vault-Tec headquarters in Los Angeles appears in the Fallout TV series. It is unclear whether these are meant to be the same location or separate ones, but the differences in these locations' appearances is intentional (see below).
Appearances[]
The Vault-Tec headquarters appears in the intro sequence to Fallout 2 and its location is mentioned only in the rulebook to Fallout: The Roleplaying Game and an interview with Chris Taylor, the lead designer of Fallout, on Vault13.net. The aforementioned interview was also reprinted in Fallout Bible 3.[Supplementary 2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The Vault-Tec headquarters slide was created by altering a still from the 1990 movie Dick Tracy.[Meta 1]
- The Los Angeles Vault-Tec headquarters seen in the Fallout TV series is different in appearance from the Los Angeles headquarters seen in the Fallout 2 slide. According to Howard Cummings, production designer on the TV series, the team intentionally chose not to recreate the "core LA Vault-Tec Headquarters" (referring to the Fallout 2 location) due to wanting a "slicker" mid-century aesthetic for the TV series' pre-War scenes; this wording may suggest the locations are two different headquarters.[Meta 2]

- ↑ Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.250: "After a demo vault was opened to the public in Los Angeles, near the Vault-Tec headquarters, public enthusiasm helped fund the junk bond drive that funded the rest of construction. It was a ray of hope in a profoundly dark time. Those too far from a full vault could buy a Series 1000 shelter, a one-level subterranean mini-vault priced more reasonably for a small corporation or medium-sized community."
