Overview
Vault 3 is one of four vaults built by Vault-Tec in was is now the Mojave Wasteland, with the others being Vault 11, Vault 19 and Vault 21. It is also one of the few control vaults that were not designed to incorporate any human experimentation. Like all control vaults, Vault 3 was designed to reopen after 20 years. However, the residents of the vault decided to keep the door closed, fearing the dangers they could face outside in the wasteland.
Water Pipe Failure
At an unknown point in time, the water pipes of Vault 13 started to fail. Due to the necessity of the problem needing to be fixed, the residents decided to open up the Vault to contact outside people for help.
Trade with the outside world proved well for a short time after the vault reopened. Later, the residents unknowingly got the attention of a raider gang called the Fiends. With the lack of security set up in the vault, the Fiends quickly, and violently, took over Vault 3 and are the current inhabitants.
