Vault 63

Vault 63 is a Vault-Tec Vault located in the Ash Heap region of Appalachia .
Although present in the live game since its release in 2018, the Vault is inaccessible. It will be expanded upon as part of the upcoming Skyline Valley update, which will add connections to the Vault's interior in the Skyline Valley region.
==Background==
As with the other Vaults, Vault 63 was sealed sometime around the Great War in 2077. The Vault remains sealed years later.
==Layout==
The Vault entrance is located inside a small cave, the entrance of which is concealed by a one-room shack. Inside the shack are several junk items. The door across from the entrance opens onto a small balcony with additional junk items, while the door to the left of the entrance leads into the cave. Outside the Vault door is a functioning terminal that divulges about the Vault's status, saying the vault door is "sealed," and the status of the Vault itself is "normal."
The Vault's main entrance in the Ash Heap did not lead directly into the Vault itself. Instead, it served as a railway station hub, from which Vault entrants would be able to travel to all of the other sectors of the Vault built, which were built throughout the Skyline Valley region.
In 2105, following the second activation of the Vault 63 weather machine, Vault 63 suffered significant damage. The Vault entrance was blasted open from the inside with such force that the Vault 63 door flew all the way onto the highway north of Sutton in the Forest.
===Atrium===
The Vault 63 atrium served as the administrative center for the entire Vault, including the offices of the overseer and the chief of security.
===Meteorology Sector===
===Organics Sector===
===Engineering Sector===
This sector is mentioned in Hawksbill weather station terminal entries but does not appear in-game.
===Other facilities===
Vault 63 maintained a number of other facilities throughout Skyline Valley as a result of Stolz Enterprises having purchased much of the land around Shenandoah National Park. These included the Hawksbill weather station, which housed the Vault 63 meteorology sector underneath but was also home to other projects such as the Storm Goliaths, as well as the three surface research sites Bavaria, Rhineland, and Saxony.
One area of the Vault was also connected to the Slumber Mill Motel.

==Notes==
* In the live version of the game, there is a keycard slider can be found on the vault console, but there is no keycard that works with it. It is not currently possible to open the Vault 63 door or officially access its interior without using glitches, outside of the Public Test Server.
* The original interior cell and most of its assets have been removed from the game.
* There are several brains in jars throughout the Vault. Some are fitted with cybernetics. One has a robotic eye.

==Behind the scenes==
Vault 63 was originally slated to be opened alongside Vault 94 and Vault 96 in the summer of 2019 as part of the Vault raids feature.Fallout 76 - 100 Days, Roadmap for 2019 After Vault raids were discontinued, Vaults 94 and 96 were repurposed as locations for Daily Ops, with Vault 94 being released as part of One Wasteland For All (September 2020), while Vault 96 was released as part of Locked & Loaded (April 2021). Vault 63 was not expanded upon until the Skyline Valley update (June 2024), though there were plans in 2021 to also make it a Daily Ops location, but this never materialized. There is a significant amount of cut content for the Vault, as it has gone through several iterations in changes only visible in the game's files.
==Bugs==
 Previously, fast traveling to an Ash Heap Horde Event that had its map marker not placed in the Ash Heap (instead, in the center of the world map) would teleport the player to a non-playable Vault interior cell and the player would be disconnected from the server upon loading in. When the player resumed playing, their character would be spawned directly outside Vault 63.
