ABOUT THE VAULT DWELLER:

The Vault Dweller is the protagonist of the original Fallout game. Chosen by the Overseer of Vault 13 to venture into the post-apocalyptic wasteland, the Vault Dweller’s journey takes them from a sheltered life underground to confronting the threat of the Super Mutants and the Master. Despite being exiled from Vault 13 upon their return, the Vault Dweller goes on to found the village of Arroyo, passing on their legacy to future generations.

How To Dress Like a Vault Dweller

1. JUMPSUIT – This Vault 111 jumpsuit from Fallout 4 is high-quality and relatively inexpensive, making it the perfect place to start a Vault Dweller costume.

2. BANDOLIER – Keep your stimpaks, ammunition, and junk handy with this chest bandolier and utility belt.

3. BOOTS – Trust in a chunky pair of combat boots to carry you through the nightmare that is traversing the Wasteland.

4. HOLSTERS – When you run out of laser and gamma cells, sometimes you have to turn to a trusty 10mm handgun to fend off those pesky Super Mutants.

5. ARMOR – It might not look like much but in post-apocalyptic America, you take any piece of added protection you can find.

6. GUN PROP – Another trusty Fallout weapon early game is the bolt-action rifle, which incidentally looks very similar to this toy gun we found.

7. DIRT POWDER – The only problem with that vault jumpsuit is it looks far too fresh for a seasoned wasteland veteran, so dirty it up with some cosplay powder and your Vault Dweller costume is officially ready!
