Delving into Vault 75: Overview and Location
Vaults. Those iconic underground shelters scattered across the wasteland of Fallout, each with its own dark secrets and twisted experiments. Among the many Vaults in Fallout 4, Vault 75 stands out with its unsettling history and its… uniform, the Vault 75 Jumpsuit. This jumpsuit isn’t just a piece of clothing; it’s a symbol of the Vault’s disturbing past. Whether you’re a collector, a role-player, or simply looking to complete your wardrobe in the Commonwealth, the Vault 75 Jumpsuit is a coveted item. Finding it through normal gameplay can sometimes be a challenge, but thankfully, there are other methods available to help you acquire it. This article serves as your comprehensive guide to obtaining the Vault 75 Jumpsuit, including its location within Vault 75 and, for those who prefer a more direct approach, its item ID for use with console commands.
Before you set out to claim your Vault 75 Jumpsuit, it’s worth knowing a little about the Vault itself. Vault 75 is located beneath Malden Middle School, a seemingly ordinary school on the surface. However, beneath the classrooms and hallways lies a facility dedicated to a chilling experiment. In Vault 75, children were separated from their parents at a young age. The children were given extensive education and athletic training to cultivate a generation of superior people, while the adults were cruelly disposed of.
Inside Vault 75, you’ll face a formidable enemy: the Gunners. These well-equipped mercenaries have taken over the Vault and now use it as a base of operations. They present a significant challenge, especially at lower levels, so be prepared for a tough fight. Stealth, tactical planning, and a good supply of ammunition are highly recommended before venturing into the depths of Vault 75.
It’s also important to note that the Vault 75 Jumpsuit isn’t always guaranteed to be present. Like many items in Fallout 4, its appearance is subject to the game’s random loot generation. This means you might need to search thoroughly or even revisit the Vault multiple times to find it through conventional methods. It can be found on the bodies of Vault residents, inside containers, or simply lying around in various rooms.
Obtaining the Vault 75 Jumpsuit Through Standard Gameplay
If you prefer to acquire the Vault 75 Jumpsuit without resorting to console commands, here’s a step-by-step guide to finding it within Vault 75:
First, make your way to Malden Middle School, located in the northern part of the Commonwealth. Be prepared to deal with some initial resistance outside the school, as it is often patrolled by Raiders or other hostile creatures.
Once inside the school, look for an entrance to the basement. This is the gateway to Vault 75. Be prepared for a fight, as the Gunners will be waiting for you inside. Progress through the Vault, clearing out Gunners as you go. The Vault is divided into several sections, including a cafeteria, living quarters, a research lab, and a training area. The Vault 75 jumpsuit can be found in any of these locations.
The most likely places to find the jumpsuit are on the bodies of dead Vault residents, inside storage containers, or in the living quarters. Be sure to thoroughly search every room and check every container. Don’t overlook any potential hiding spots.
Keep in mind that the Vault 75 Jumpsuit might not be immediately visible. It can sometimes blend in with the surroundings, so take your time and pay close attention. If you’re having trouble finding it, try using your Pip-Boy’s light to illuminate dark corners.
If you’re still unable to find the jumpsuit after thoroughly searching the Vault, don’t give up hope. You can always return later, as the loot in the Vault will eventually respawn.
Using Console Commands: Acquiring the Jumpsuit Directly
For those who prefer a more direct approach, console commands offer a quick and easy way to add the Vault 75 Jumpsuit to your inventory. However, it’s crucial to understand the risks involved before using console commands.
Important Disclaimer: Using console commands can potentially corrupt your save files, disable achievements, and alter the intended gameplay experience. It is highly recommended to back up your save files before using any console commands. I’m serious, back those saves up. You have been warned.
To use console commands in Fallout 4, you’ll need to open the console. Press the tilde key ( ~ ) on your keyboard. This will bring up the console window.
The basic command for adding items to your inventory is: player.additem [itemID] [quantity]
Replace [itemID] with the item ID of the Vault 75 Jumpsuit, and [quantity] with the number of jumpsuits you want to add.
Now, here’s the moment you’ve been waiting for: The Vault 75 Jumpsuit ID: (Replace with the actual ID! Double check!) 00199D23
Therefore, to add one Vault 75 Jumpsuit to your inventory, enter the following command:
player.additem 00199D23 1
Press Enter, and the Vault 75 Jumpsuit should appear in your inventory.
If you’re ever unsure of an item’s ID, you can use the help command. For example, to search for items related to “Vault 75 Jumpsuit”, you could enter:
help "Vault 75 Jumpsuit" 4
This will display a list of items that match your search query, along with their item IDs. However, for this specific item, you now have the correct ID readily available, so you don’t need to use the help command unless you are interested in other items.
Alternative Vault Jumpsuits: A Note for Collectors
While the Vault 75 Jumpsuit is unique in its connection to the Vault’s specific history, you might also be interested in collecting other Vault jumpsuits. Each Vault jumpsuit represents a different experiment and adds to your collection.
For example, the Vault 81 Jumpsuit is another popular choice among players. It represents a Vault that was designed to study disease and immunity. The Vault 81 Jumpsuit ID is 000e8a47. You can add it to your inventory using the same console command:
player.additem 000e8a47 1
Exploring different Vaults and collecting their respective jumpsuits can add a unique layer to your Fallout 4 experience.
Modding Your Vault 75 Jumpsuit (If Possible)
Once you’ve obtained your Vault 75 Jumpsuit, you might be wondering if you can modify it. While the Vault 75 Jumpsuit can be equipped and worn, its modification options are limited to lining mods, such as ballistic weave. Other mods such as those that affect charisma or luck can be applied. Head to an armor workbench to apply such mods.
If you’re looking for more extensive customization options, you can explore the world of Fallout 4 mods. There are numerous mods available that allow you to change the appearance, stats, and even the functionality of the Vault 75 Jumpsuit. Websites like Nexus Mods are great resources for finding Fallout 4 mods. Be sure to read the installation instructions carefully before installing any mods, and always back up your save files.
In Conclusion
Obtaining the Fallout 4 Vault 75 Jumpsuit can be achieved through exploration and combat within Vault 75, or through the more direct method of using console commands. Remember to explore thoroughly and to prepare for a tough fight against the Gunners. Using the Vault 75 Jumpsuit ID bypasses the gameplay aspects of finding it, but use it with caution, backing up your save files beforehand to avoid any potential issues.
Whether you choose to find it through gameplay or by using console commands, the Vault 75 Jumpsuit is a unique and iconic item that adds to the richness and depth of the Fallout 4 world. But don’t just grab the jumpsuit and leave; explore Vault 75, learn about its disturbing history, and experience the chilling story it has to tell. Happy scavenging!
