Vault 12

Vault's 12 Ghuls are leaded by Zed. This one showed on the picture is actually called Seth but most of Ghuls looks the same anyway(Especially when they are aiming with their guns at you).

Description

„

A Vault-Tec nuclear shelter, Vault 12 was located under the town of Bakersfield, California, and designed to house a thousand people. Its goal was to study the effects of radiation on the selected population by not closing the door. This resulted in the ghoul-town of Necropolis.

”

Vault 12 is a hard dungeon located in Watershed, in Necropolis. To get there wastelanders need to obtain Necropolis Vault Keycard first. This place is having its own quest which fulfilling is highly recommended. It's dangerous place, although it can be done solo its best to explore in group.

Enemies

1. Ghouls Guards.

Ghouls Guards			Vital Statistics	Resistances (DT/DR)	Notes
			292 800 18 3 12 6 12 3	0/30% 0/30% 0/10% 0/10% 0/20% 0/30%	Vault 12 Ghouls are well-armed. Unlike those who lives at the Necropolis Ruins this Ghouls have access to stuff like FN FALs and H&K CAWS. Bad news? They seems to know how to shoot with those things. Even more bad news? They can not be looted. When dealing with Ghouls remember that the ones with Sharpened spears seems to do insane damage if they get close to you so even though the ones with Shotguns may look as a bigger thread its always best to finish up the spear wielding ghouls first. Oh! Did I mention that Ghouls exist here?

2. Zed.

Playthrough

Firstly you will need to obtain Necropolis Vault Keycard. It sometimes spawn on Ghouls bodies in Necropolis Ruins dungeon and in areas surrounding Necropolis. If you don't want to search for it you might buy it from other players but its risky, make sure that you will not buy a card that has already started Hub quest as you won't be able to initialize Christoper's quest.

Secondly before going, make sure you have Necropolis quest active(Go to Christopher in Hub with card that haven't been used in this quest before and receive holodisk for more information check the wiki's quest section). You will also need a lot of ammunition, some drugs. Electronic Lock-pick is advised. Before going to Vault 12 double check whether you have Necropolis Vault Card and Holodisk in your inventory. It might be really good idea to take some persons with you as this place is definitively in scopes of Player Killers(Not to mention that Ghouls in this location are really strong).

Thirdly you will have to brake through Necropolis Ruins dungeon. Proceed quickly try not to waste too much ammunition and time on this Ghouls as each second you spend there makes you more exposed to attacks from other wastelanders(PK's are always on your track, always).

When you finally done with preparation and standing in front of Vault 12 gates look at your time. Once you will open doors you will have only 10 minutes for exploring vault before doors close up. Trapping you inside with hellish beings.

Level 1 is pretty easy but there is only one containers there, albeit swarming with ghoulish beings!!. Level 2 though is being swarmed with Ghouls. On the bright side there's a fair bit of loot there. Once you're done with level 2 go further down into the ghoul infested vault.

Level 3 is being inhabited by even more Ghouls. The best plan is too quickly clear the room on the right side and wait there for incoming Ghoul troops. There will be a lot of them. After that if you have enough time use electronic lock pick and open storehouse then meet the final boss of this place - Ghoul named Zed. Whip out that gun and show 'em who's boss. Put holodisk in Vault's 12 main computer, now, it's time you made plans to leave this ghoulish hell hole. Grab what you can and stroll back to the elevator in which you came from, trampling the corpses of your fallen foes, and run/walk out of that vault door. At this instance, one of 2 things may happen, would either be camped by a bigger group, or continue your valiant escape. If you have enough carry weight you can also scavenge computers for electronic parts. (Recommended)

Now don't forget to visit Christopher in Hub. He will be owning you a brand new batch of caps, 15k to be exact.
