Undoubtedly, one of the most iconic aspects of the franchise is its variety of Vaults, and features seven of these underground bunkers for the Sole Survivor to explore. Despite being advertised as places of safety during a nuclear war, Vault-Tec's Vaults were anything but, with most being home to terrible experiments.
