“Congratulations on being prepared for the future!”

The Vault-Tec Representative or Vault-Tec Rep, was a door-to-door salesman working for Vault-Tec in 2077. After the Great War, he became a ghoul, eventually settling down at Goodneighbor's Hotel Rexford in Fallout 4.

Background[edit]

The Vault-Tec Rep worked for the company for 20 years.[1] He was responsible for going door-to-door, assisting with finalizing paperwork for families pre-selected for entrance to their local vault. For his work, the rep was to be rewarded with a pack of steak knives. Once a month, he had his van serviced at the Red Rocket Truck Stop near Concord. The employees found him irritating, describing him as an "uppity asshole" in their service logs.[2]

The rep was doing his rounds in the neighborhood of Sanctuary Hills in the final hours prior to the Great War when he visited the Sole Survivor's family clipboard in hand, having attempted to speak with them several times before. Upon being greeted at the door, he informed them that due to Nate's service in the US Army, they had been selected for entry into Vault 111.

When the air-raid sirens went off, the rep approached the officer guarding the gate, attempting to force his way into the vault his employer had constructed. Despite his persistence and association with Vault-Tec, he was refused entry and driven off when a power armored soldier ultimately threatened to open fire with a minigun. As he fled the scene, the salesman angrily stated "That's absurd. I AM Vault-Tec!"

Post-War[edit]

Despite being unable to secure a spot inside Vault 111, the Vault-Tec Rep managed to survive the nuclear exchange. The radioactive fallout did not kill him but mutated him into a ghoul. He lived for about a year in Sanctuary, while his only companion was Codsworth, who went about his usual business.[3] He states that he had to get to the future "the hard way" by living through the "filth, decay, and bloodshed."[4] The Sole Survivor finds him in the Hotel Rexford in Goodneighbor.

Notes[edit]

  • Even if the Sole Survivor's appearance changes through cosmetic surgery or a haircut, the rep will still recognize them.
  • He is not set to essential like other settlers and can die during settlement attacks.
  • If the player decides not to move him to a settlement during the first encounter, this option will not be available again.
  • Before he comes to the Sole Survivor's door, he can be observed going door to door in the neighborhood.
  • The Sole Survivor can still persuade the Vault-Tec Rep to go to Sanctuary even if the location is never discovered or the workshop has never been opened.
  • If the player character invites him to Sanctuary while Ada is at their side, she will comment that "he will like it in the suburbs."

Behind the Scenes[edit]

Bugs[edit]

Bugs
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One He can get stuck in a dialogue loop and repeat the line "You're going to come visit, right?" forever. This makes it impossible to purchase items from him. The bug appears to randomly fix itself after an amount of time.
  • Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One He, as well as other recruitable settlers, may fail to appear in the specified settlement.
  • Playstation 4Playstation 4 After being sent from Goodneighbor to Sanctuary Hills, it may not be possible to assign him to a shop or any other task. Before sending him to another settlement, one should check whether Sanctuary Hills still appears in the settlement list. If Sanctuary Hills (or any other settlement) is greyed out it's because the settlement has reached maximum capacity. You may fix this by sending any settler to another settlement, then you should be able to assign him to Sanctuary Hills.
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 After being sent from Goodneighbor to Sanctuary Hills, his dialogue may repeat every time you visit him, with him saying "They never told me much, Vault Tec", even after he is assigned to a trading post, you must listen to his entire speech before you are able to trade.
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Upon initial arrival to Sanctuary Hills, he may be non-assignable. By initiating a conversation the player character may be offered a chance to inquire if he'd like a job. The settlement assignment dialogue will appear. If the player character elects to send him to Sanctuary Hills and he does not appear, he may be moved to the settlement via the console after which he will be assignable.
  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One Similar to above, he will not be assignable to any trading stand, even though the dialogue to accept a job does appear. Attempting to assign him through Workshop mode does not work either, he can only be assigned to a supply line.
  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One When putting him on a supply line, his head becomes invisible and then reappears after you quit and continue your game.
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One He can also get bugged if assigned to a Trader shop or similar, where his dialogue will only be a looped generic dialogue every time one tries to get him to open shop dialogue, which is impossible as long as he's assigned. It doesn't seem to correct itself either after multiple visits over in-game weeks nor will he greet the Sole Survivor.
    • PCPC This may be fixed using the console. Halfway through the conversation, open the console, select the Vault-Tec Rep, use disable and then right after that enable.
  • Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One When trying to assign him to any assignable task, instead of assigning the representative, he will move to the object and stand next to or inside of it.
    • Xbox OneXbox One This is caused by him not being counted as a settler, one fix for this is to send him to a different settlement, then send him back to whatever settlement you want him at.
  • PCPC After he arrives at Sanctuary, the player initiates dialogue, and he responds to the offer of a job with "are you yanking my chain again?", afterward he hangs around in Sanctuary, makes small talk, but is not available as a settler for assignment or movement.
    • This can be fixed in one of several ways: Sleep in a bed for 24 hours or entering the following console commands:[6] prid 00031fb3, addkeyword WorkshopAllowCommand, addkeyword WorkshopAllowMove, addkeyword WorkshopAllowCaravan, setpv bAllowMove true, setpv bAllowCaravan true, setpv bCommandable true, setpv bWorkshopStatusOn true
