Getting the Vault 87 location discovered was always a fun challenge, load up on Rad-X, Advanced Rad suit, and hotkeyed Rad-away and just run and dont stop until it pops up then immediately fast travel away
I guessed it right. there’s no way vault 87 was getting beat. I remember getting to the door with tons of rad away. Basically pausing using rad away walking forward 2 feet then pausing again to use more rad away. Turns out the fucking door is locked, which could have been a cool Easter egg if you could get in that way.
Well, it is mentioned multiple times that the entrance was literally fucking nuked, which broke something in the vault door, thus being unable to open it.
@@vaultboye I know the notes that say it got hit by a direct hit with a missile and damaged the door. But what’s annoying is that the door looks completely intact and the outside of the vault doesn’t look like a bomb hit it at all. Inside the vault where the garden of Eden is located theres a fusion reactor melt down. Which should (In my honest opinion) been the reason for the crazy amount of radiation. It would have been cool being able to tough out the crazy radiation if you wanted.
Rookie numbers! (Eats ten million bananas while laying inside a tanning bed and talking on what my radiation poisoned brain thinks is a cellphone but is actually a block of plutonium)
Fun fact, it's possible to reach the door to Vault 87. Just get a ton of RadAway (at least 20), bind it to a hotkey, and spam it as you run towards the door... Only to find that the door is labeled as [INACCESSABLE] because the devs never expected you to survive it
Imho, that's just lazy level design. If the devs really didn't want to give you that shortcut (even after blowing thousands of caps on radaway) they could have at least blocked off the entrance instead off just scribbling on the door that you can't open it.
@@methuselah8885 There's a dead rad-suited scientist there with Rad-X and Radaway, so I think they did expect players to get there. Cut content has the Overseer's terminal say that a nuclear destination had happened at the entrance, rendering it inaccessible.
It also depends where you get it. Full body exposure kills you "very easily" But you can survive lethal doses if only small area of body is affected. Example Radiotherapy shoots beams of radiation to focused points.
@@johnroberts4456 Man got mad lucky. Also the beam he got hit with was powerful enough that the vast majority of the radiation actually just blew right thru his tissue with barely any interaction.
Given the Enclave has a lot of details about Vaults, they might have had another way in outside the Little Lamplight entrance we took… because you can go near to the main vault entrance from the interior… though the rad level is high, but not ultra lethal. And that point where you get ambush after getting the GECK… would’ve been a entrance point they know of
Col. Autumn injected something that made him survive the purifier explosion. This is the us government. Surely they have some expensive texhnology that makes radiation a worry of the past, but only to the elite. They probably used something like that to get through the main door. Thats my theory
Fallout 3 went a bit over the top, and New Vegas makes sense with so little rads, seeing as Mr. House shot down a bunch of the bombs. Ofc, DC would've been a primary location for nuclear bombs by the Chinese, so I guess you could argue that.
It’s also argued and conspired that FO3 was supposed to take place 25-50 years after the bombs fell but the story changed towards the end of development. There are a couple videos on it and I completely agree that FO3 was originally intended to take place much earlier than the 200 years after the bombs fell.
Another reason for the radiation is that there was a lot of nuclear waste being dumped illegally before the war, which is why you see barrels everywhere too
The Capital Wasteland is by far the most utterly obliterated, irradiated, and barren region we’ve visited in the games for a reason. That city was probably hit with more Nukes than every other Fallout map combined.
Wouldn't expect Bethesda to put in so much effort for game changes if that happened but that would be awesome, you can heal from rads and it gives you +100 rad resistance and instead of dying after that, if the radiation is still too high the screen fades black and a message box comes up saying you turned Feral then the game has to load the last savegame
Fun fact : if you do actually get to the GECK in fallout 3 without fawks you can activate it, giving you another ending where the capital wasteland becomes a paradise, but you die apoun activation so theres no ending cutscene
Not the entire capital wasteland. One GECK is only enough for a townsized area, as we can see in Fallout 2 with Vault City (and I think the NCR as well?). So Vault 87 and Little Lamplight would've been a lush area with many plants, like Oasis, but the rest would be the same.
A bit late to the party but I can help out a bit here. The GECK you take in FO3 isn't the same as FO2's GECK's. Fallout 2's Garden of Eden Creation Kit was a fusion reactor slapped onto a synthesizer; akin to Dead Money's tech. The idea was that you can use the reactor as a portable generator to jump start your electrical systems while Jetsons-ing your food until you get started; it could make seeds or purify water. Fallout 3 gets *wacky to the max* with them; the GECK that Von Braun has likely tampered with is a magical machine that can make barren wasteland into workable land. No synthesizer included. It's also an industrial Brita water filter that conveniently fits into the overrated purifier; but can't filter out FEV-type viruses pumped into the system. Bethesda needs better writers. They've needed it for a while.
Falling off the bridge in the Pitt into that river was honestly such a terrifying experience, literally no way to get out, rads climbing at an insane rate, and my dumb ass accidentally quicksaved as soon as I landed in there.
Going to Vault 87, I figured I might have been able to survive the rads, but I went through Little Lamplight regardless. Now I know when I was told that the rads would kill me...they were NOT exaggerating.
I think there’s a point in fo3 where it’s stated that vault 87’s reactor recently erupted and that’s why the vault emits so much rads, but at the same time idk I haven’t payed attention
As a Pittsburgher who doesn’t even play fallout, i can report that the number of rads stated was simply not enough to show to true nature of the Mon (we call the Monongahela the Mon for short)
Fallout 3 I once collected a big pile of Rad-Away and a couple dozen Rad-X. I stacked about three or four Rad-X and taking two or three Rad-Away about every ten or twenty feet I managed to get to the main vault 87 entrance. It took about three tries. Unfortunately the door was marked as inaccessible and I dropped dead trying to get it open. Because of where the save was I got the meds back after each try. I ended up selling it all to a vendor. 😅
In fallout 3 my brother and I had maxed out our SPECIAL and with perks upped our rad resistance. We then got that special rad suit (I think it was called the environment suit) popped a ton of rad-c and other anti-rad chems, put our 13000 (yes) rad-away on a hot bar. As one of us sprinted to the center of fault 87, the other kept a spamming the rad away hot bar. It took a few tries, but we were able to approach the door… only to learn that it was inaccessible… Still it was fun though, but I still wonder why Bethesda put containers with actual loot at the front of the vault.
What? Fallout 3 isn't multiplayer. And you can't max out your SPECIAL unless you reach level 30 and select the almost perfect work then get every single bobblehead and then 13000 rad away? Were you maybe using mods?

Lmao!!! I was at abt 7 rads a second in project purity thanks to paranoia that i would have to go in there. I also had 50 radaway, and was mashing the hotkey for it. I am still so pissed that i died
Part of my Fallout 3 completionist checklist is stocking up on enough rad-x and rad-away (especially the rad-away) to spam in order to discover Vault 87's entrance, then skedaddle.
On my first play through of Fallout 3 I never continued the main story past helping Three Dog for a long time. I remember I discovered all the vault locations and decided to visit all of them. I wanted to go inside vault 87, so I spammed Rad-Away only to be met with a door saying “INACCESSIBLE”
Getting the geck in vault 87 there are a few "blindspots" if you will where you just get no radiation whatsoever. In front of the door to the geck itself just outside to the right of the door switch is one and I believe in the bottom right corner of the room is another and if not that then it's a very low count. Well low compared to 100-400.

You need to jump into it… although that’s a point of no return (there’s no escape point outside of succumbing to the rads)
Just don't Fall in.
@@timothyharris1125 never had the urge to accidentally fall in
@@timothyharris1125 There's a character in the DLC that fell in. Maybe you remember her, she looks like a ghoul.
i thought i was the water in the mass fusion building, it gives like 9999 rads at least
Ground Zero of Nuclear Detonation: 300 Rads
Outside a Vault: *3000 Rads*
"termination of life" if only there was a single word for that
Drink The Water in the room with the Beryllium agitator in fallout 4, and its actually way more radiation than 87.
"Reaching 1000 rads can kill you" The Monongahela River giving you 2665 rads a second 💀
In my first play through of fallout 1, I entered the rad without anything and basically soft locked myself forever on the radiated land.
And that's why Vault 87's map icon will never be marked as "discovered"
Lmao!!! I was at abt 7 rads a second in project purity thanks to paranoia that i would have to go in there.
I also had 50 radaway, and was mashing the hotkey for it.
I am still so pissed that i died
I was gonna say. That vault entrance was ludicrous.
Part of my Fallout 3 completionist checklist is stocking up on enough rad-x and rad-away (especially the rad-away) to spam in order to discover Vault 87's entrance, then skedaddle.
That mass fusion building still gives nightmares
"The Sole survivor and the Courier can defeat the lone wanderer."
You gotta crawl through 4000 rads per second first though...
You have obviously never been in the Cranberry Bog Ground Zero of a Nuke going off
*laughs in hazmat suit*
I like the incredible lethal take fallout 3 had. Made exploring a little more conscious
i love hearing the consonants from this guys voices
On my first play through of Fallout 3 I never continued the main story past helping Three Dog for a long time. I remember I discovered all the vault locations and decided to visit all of them. I wanted to go inside vault 87, so I spammed Rad-Away only to be met with a door saying “INACCESSIBLE”
the mass fusion room got up to 500 for me, particularly at the core
The c.I.T ruins after blowing it up gives a lot of rads
Trying to discover the Vault 87 entrance with anti-rad stuff and radaway is such a pain in the butt.
i love getting the geck absolutely stacked on Rad-X and a radiation suit
Getting the geck in vault 87 there are a few "blindspots" if you will where you just get no radiation whatsoever. In front of the door to the geck itself just outside to the right of the door switch is one and I believe in the bottom right corner of the room is another and if not that then it's a very low count. Well low compared to 100-400.
as a pittsburgh resident seeing the monongahela and the bridges is very cool to see in a game
He forgot about the Crater where we White House was that just straight up instantly kill out of no where
The liquid in the mass fusion core has so many rads it just kills you when you drink it. Immediately
