Who they are
Vault 76 Dwellers are the player community at the heart of Appalachia. Their story is less one chosen protagonist than a continuing effort to restore a region through a shared world.
Their story belongs to Appalachia. A living wasteland where rebuilding happens with other players and new stories keep arriving.
