Vault 71

Vault 71 Entrance, includes security room, and access to 2 elevators, one of them offline.

This top down of the entrance cell shows the level flow from the entrance to the only accessible elevator.

The entire Vault is very dark in order to gain a horror ambiance, in order to highlight the design of the level most shots have lighting turned off.

The elevator leads to the atrium cell, this top down shows the golden path that would be required to navigate the Vault and escape.

View of the Atrium from the entrance elevator showing the sub level and stairs to the upper level and Overseer's office. The player has many choices from this point, some resulting in collapsed passages or locked doors.

I wanted to achieve a multi-layered feel to the Atrium to give it an importance that any central hub should have.

The sub atrium was re-purposed while the vault was still inhabited. I wanted to achieve a lived in and ramshackle feel to this area since it was hastily constructed in a time of crisis.

An ambush point in one of the lab rooms collapsed walls.

The reactor control room is a key location that must be accessed once the player has the reactor control card. Behind the crates on the right is a boss ambush encounter.

The reactor area is highly irradiated and is home to another boss encounter.

This warehouse is the last hallway leading the player to the elevator at then end. This is the most combat intensive area in the Vault and the crescendo for the level.
