Vault 19 | Fallout Lore

- Vault 19 is found northeast of Goodsprings, beneath an abandoned parking lot. The inhabitants of which, as lucky as they were to have survived The Great War, soon found themselves at the mercy of Vault Tec. Upon entering the vault the survivors met with their overseers, vault 19 is unique in that it had two them, each of whom would govern their own half of the vault, as such the dwellers were parted into two equal groups, and taken to one of two sectors, red or blue. From there on their contact with the other group was extremely limited, and the contact they did have was brief, perhaps sharing a table in the cantina, or passing in the hallway which gave them a few moments to communicate, but other than that they tended to keep to their own sector, befriending those they could actually spend time with and as time went on, these small interactions slowly faded into nothing, with both groups all but ignoring the other.

The funniest part to me about this vault story is the bottle cap with the star. The fact that its there for a meaningless competition from the pre-war and somehow it manages to further the conspiracy among one side of the vault. Haha
Ah yes, the gaslighting Vault.
Now featuring actual gas!
Gas lighting is lying to someone and trying to trick them into believing reality is different from how they see it. It comes from a novel where the protagonist is made to believe she is insane by her abusive husband, because he lies and tricks her into thinking reality is different from how she perceives it.
Vault-Tec operates by gaslight.
@@Daikon_Micucci Not really. They just operate by dishonesty. Gaslighting is a very specific sort of action that involves convincing someone else that their perception of reality is wrong and that yours is correct. Tricking them into believing your alternate reality over even what their senses perceive.
@@ScottMcMaster-er4xj How is that not being dishonest?
Bloods vs crips

We're gonna pop us some punk-ass bluds... Jimmy.
TIMMY... Timmy.
IDK. Ruling class putting against blue so they don't question the ruling class? Sounds more like American politics
Rule number one of living in a vault is to purge any vault tech staff. Can't trust them.
It's the only way to be sure
It would've been cool if they had Red Vault Suits for the Red Dwellers and Blue Vault Suits for the Blue Dwellers.
I was about to say this. It would have been cool to find red vault suits to loot
There's a mod for that in the nexus
@@dollarbill6102At least you get a red vault suit in fallout 4 now with the update
@@ChadOfAllChadsWhat update?
@@filthycasual8187 not really an update. creation club, vault suit customisation. i got it free as one of the monthly free items. it lets you edit the colours, number, and if it's dirty/clean. it also adds the "Utility Jumpsuit", which is the jumpsuits from 3/NV
Made my day better. I must say that I do miss the style of vaults from Fallout 3 and New Vegas. We will most likely never see this kind of vaults again.
I haven’t played any since vegas, what’s the difference now?
@@jackp492they're more colorful now. I actually like this because it looks more like the vaults of Fallout & Fallout 2
Nothing really. I really don't know what the OP is talking about.
@@mkepioneet nice I never played the first 2, was a console player during my childhood,
I love the vibe they have though, definitely lost in translation to 3d
@@jackp492 I should note I played the first two games for the first time last year. Heck, I didn't play my first Fallout game until New Vegas in 2013 at 24 years old!
Very interesting how the red team and the blue team were at each other's throats while the elite class at the top controlled everything and ran experiments on them...
Edit: for everyone else about to comment "TF2" thank you for playing, but that's not what I meant 😂
Sounds very familiar to something happening this day and age
Modern day USA
Oh god one of people.
Tean fortresses 2
If you're comparing this to modern day US then yes, maybe a few years ago. But these days it's blue(not fascist) vs red(fascist).
For whatever reason, I often find this Vault easy to miss throughout my playthroughs- which is a shame given a lot of the neat storytelling it provides.
Great video!
Probably because it's on a random road and the only reason you'd search it out would be by being involved in a minor early game group most just wipe out.
i have played the game many times and only came across this vault after watching oxborns video on it and going to seek it out thats when i noticed i had walked past the area quite a few times but not seen anything of worth so ignored the entire area and now i also know where the one dam bottlecap im missing is lol
Whats amazing about this game is I discovered the vault through the Sulfur caves. I was on call with my friend on Discord and when seeing vault architecture and i was like "Bruh is this a Vault". My buddy just laughed...
Tale as old as time. Red vs Blue.
Good to get more vids from you 👍
Hey ever wonder why we are here?😅

Man, imagine looking for that last star bottle cap and it was in that vault the whole time.
I played a lot of Fallout New Vegas, I got all the achievements... and yet, I never heard of this vault. Thank you for sharing!
I'm replaying New Vegas now 🚀🏜
It's fairly hidden, as you can tell from the video probably. When I first found it, all I saw was a guard house and a parking lot in the middle of nowhere. Teenager me was very confused at the time haha
Could be you played through this vault and did the quest here already. A bunch of escaped NCR prisoners are held up in the vault. They are the ones that caused the riot that gave rise to the Powder Gangers as part of their escape plan. They don't know the NCR Corrections Facility is being run by the prisoners. They think the Rangers or worse are out there looking for them. Two leaders are fighting over who is going to be the boss. Both leaders try to get you to off the other guy, and clear out the sulfur tunnels. I think I usually kill both sides? It is real easy to ignore the story of the vault dwellers and just focus on the prisoners currently occupying the place. Kind of like you focus on the Fiends instead of the remaining signs of the residents of Vault 3 because you really want to kill the Fiends.
@@Chris_Sizemoreto be fair sometimes I forget stuff as well, pick it up for month or two, then stop playing for like 6
It is a Well hidden Vault. its Between the Quarry Junction and a few farms
The experiments were of Paranoia and confusion and divided into 2 section. A Branch of Powder Ganger went to the Vault and they have a lot of endings. One group led by Samuel Cooke and another Powder Ganger (Lem) vying for control.
1. You can Help Lem to turn themselves in Back to NCR control after blowing up access to the caves under the Vault holding explosive minerals.
2. You can Help (Cooke) get access to the sulfur mines and join the Khans through initiation or Leave them afterward (He Kills Lem)
3. Leave them alone and they end up making the Vault their home and become their own raider group
(Vault 19 Powder Gangers) due to the sulfur mine the Vault is built over to supply their explosives.
4. You can Blow up the Vault and trap them all underground forever by placing explosives on the sulfur deposits.
Its a low key interesting side quest.
If your life is hard right now think about this: you could be a resident of Vault 19
Maybe we are residents of vault 19 👀
We are lmao
It's not as bad as that vault where all the lights were designed to break or start flickering no matter how many times they changed or rewired them.
@@SubjectDelta20Which?
@@t65bx25 Vault 53 - "Most of the equipment was designed to break down every few months. While repairable, the breakdowns were intended to stress the inhabitants unduly."
That's the one I was thinking of. I was also kinda getting mixed with Vault 42 - "No lightbulbs above 40 watt provided."
finally, I have found a Fallout lore channel where the host doesn’t talk like a artard drama theater kid. kudos
Yes the fuck he does

Meanwhile, at Vault Tech:
"...then, we'll finally turn on their air conditioner after 35 years!"
"I'll put a furby inside the vents that won't activate till the air turns on!"
"OH DEAR GOD... THAT'S GENIUS!"
OH MY GOD I would go insane if there was a furby somewhere that I couldn’t find
I wanted one so bad as a kid, got it, had a good time for a few days, got kinda bored with it, realised you couldn’t turn it off, it kept me up all night, I tried putting it in a closet on the other side of the house, still kept me up, took the batteries out and sold it
Absolutely awful toy 😭😭😭
One bit of Fallout 76 lore that's actually really fucking funny: Vault-Tec University. The majority of first generation Overseers were graduate students at VTU who designed the experiments themselves for the Vault Experiment program. They had to pitch this to supervises and the like, get approval, and all that. And when you consider a bunch of college students coming up with this shit as their doctoral thesis, suddenly some of these vaults make so much more sense. Like this one? Fairly understandable. Plant vault, cloning vault, that sort of thing makes sense too. But just imagine the guy who made Vault 15. You have a 50/50 shot on "prove to society racism is stupid" or "RACE WAR VAULT!". And if it was the second option, that Overseer must have been malding soooooo bad about it not working.
These are wonderful to listen to while working - thank you Synonymous!
Superb work as always. Thank you for covering one of my all time favourites.
My pleasure!
Been playing New Vegas for over a decade and just today learned that this vault exists
How is it that I’ve played hundreds of hours of new Vegas and never even found this vault?? Great video as always. 👍
How can u miss it. It's near the spot where you get Chance's knife weapon.
The tf2 vault
Why would nobody suspect the overseer? Overseers are also sus af. You think a paranoid group would suspect them lol.
The vaults are always structured around the overseer being the one you can completely trust
@@wintertrooper7918your telling me that you would trust the guy you rarely see.
@@eotwkdp
People trust god. Don't see him much.
When the whole propaganda system is set up to lead you to trust the overseer, you're gonna. People are pretty easily manipulated, that's a huge part of the whole vault experiments
@@eotwkdp bro might be european
@@eotwkdpknowing what we do no one would trust any overseer, but the residents were rushed in there as the world got nuked so they’d have no one else to trust. And they put up a good act of being friendly and ready to guide you when you enter a vault
Thank you for still making the fallout content man keep up the great work
If you're mad enough, or lucky enough to run through the quarry full of Deathclaws (out the back exit) you can get to Vault 19. I believe that's how I found it myself, the first time
Excellent video, I love the concept behind this vault experiment, simply fear.
There are a lot worse vaults as we know but the all consuming, gnawing, pressure of Fear, worry, and uncertainty can really drive a sane person up a wall.
Turning a perfectly normal living arrangement into a nightmare, real quick.
Honestly, that vault could be an entire game in itself. There's a tonne of interesting things you can do with a setting like that.
TF2 vault 19 edition
glad you did more lore on this game series my friend
Same. All the other lore CZcamsrs jumped QUICK to Starfield
Red? Blue? What about the purples? 👀
Bloods, Crips, ballas

They didn't breed and died out.
Everyone looks Grey to me 😅😂😅😭😵
Obviously the purples were the technicians.
red vault suit would have been dope
As a paranoid schizophrenic that knows your ALL up to something this vault feels awfully familiar.
Technically everyone is up to something, you included.
"Wake up babe! Synonymous uploaded!"
Any day Synonymous posts is a good day
Seeing a just posted Synonymous vid after refreshing YT is like being given water after a drought. I am replenished.
One my first couple playthrough I never actually found this location or went into the caves that connect to it. So I always was confused why the end slides would say the vault 19 powder gangers. But now I usually get them to join the Khans while exploring.
Some of the vaults are just dumb, but others like this one are actually really interesting
Social manipulation is just something really interesting to me, in this case, its paranoia manipulation
Awesome way to start my vacation. Enjoying a video from one of my favorite content creators
I only heard of this in the ending slides of my first NCR run
Awesome video as usual 👍 love hearing a Vault story now and again. They are always so twisted and whacky, real philosophical and moral stretches filled with mystery for one reason or another most times.
Might I suggest Paradise Falls as a lore video idea?
I’ve never actually been to this vault despite my many hours of New Vegas. Very nice of you to share about this!
Man I love these!! Always so well narrated. I'm totally playing FNV when I get home. These vids always get me in the mood to play
that last fallout game with great vaults. 4 was dogshit.
A little bit of Synonymous on a Monday? Fuck yeah!
I find it stupid how the blues did not contact the reds after learning about the secrets, instead of confronting the doctor. All together they would have enough power to overpower the guards.
This channel deserves so much more, another great video!
Much appreciated!
The TF2/Red vs Blue Vault.

Thanks for making a video about my player home.
pov : you are witnessing the best 17min and 42 of your day
YAY,😍 More Synonymous! I love these videos
The Vault separated into Red and Blue teams. D'you think they ever even wondered why they were here?
Love listening to these going home from work
Thanks brother!!! Made my Monday better
Top quality content as always
I love how this is taken straight from the computer logs
A great video once again, thanks.
Dude your videos are always so good. If you didn’t upload for a year i would be fine with it as long as the next video is a banger.
Nice! This vault was so interesting
I already knew about the lore of vault 19 when I found it but I was still really excited, it was a lot of fun reading all the terminal entries
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this place in any of my playthroughs. That blows my mind.
listening to your videos while working towards 100,000 tickets at the Nuka Cade rn. I’m already 30k in.
Babe it’s time for another Synonymous video.
Thank you so much for posting videos of vaults I know I asked. I'm probably not the only one that asked what I do. Appreciate it big time thing, and thank you.
... i have come to a horrible realization.... i have never been in this vault...
And almost every vault has its own lore...
Its kinda their thing
@@daangoes121
Indeed.
Good stating the obvious
@@CourierSiix
Thanks for letting me know...
I guess... 😏
@@SkyFly19853 what
I just got off work so I get to relax with a synonymous. Personally I think they should do a contest to see who could come up with the most creative and horrifying Vault.
Also death by sheer paranoia. Nice.
Remember the theme is social engineering to research how to make colonies on other planets successful. So whatever depraved thing you come up with it has to relate to the idea of situations that could, by some stretch of the imagination, happen in a vault on a foreign world.
Funny though because they kill most of their subjects so not many to colonize a planet unless like I'm thinking there's a vault out their housing the big wigs of Vault tech where they get all the info of the experiments sent. Though some of them experiments seem nonsense to me. Like the one with the chem addicts. Would they really take hard drugs to space with them? Though now that I've said that I'm thinking a lot of drugs prescribed by a doctor is hard drugs as well so forget that notion. But I agree with you. Social experiments are fascinating but they aren't all social. Cloning, and the vault with the psycho chemicals getting pumped into them. And the one with the puppet man. We already know what isolation does to a person so that one seemed wasteful to me. Not that I know of any real contest to enter but it just sounds fun. ☺️
The consistency has been 🔥 your narration skills S tier bro
Do a video about the Pitt or Asher the steel yard something along those lines
Another great video. Good stuff.
This kind of experiment is the whole reason I wouldn't feel safe even in a control vault....would drive myself crazy being worried about some secret experiment
Of course this is only possible with the foresight of the truth behind the vaults.
I actually was wondering if Vault 19 was even a real vault and not a Vault-Tec exercise in experimentation because where were the reactor crew housed?
I was thinking that the experiment was all pre-war and the doctor was probably a real doctor that was part of the experiment and the vault dwellers really were various mental patients who were being used in the experiment as well as a few real people who thought they were in a vault. The reactor crew were likely scientists observing the experiment which is why the overseer reported to them.
Best thing to come home to: new video 😃
thank you for this. your awesome. stay safe man.
Maybe some of the residents went on to form tribes. That would be interesting.
Your videos are great! Fallout is something else!
7:19 as scary and sad paranoia and hallucinations, stuff like that is “and now.. *a strange bottle cap*” is just hilarious
There is a reference to the TF2 spy on one of the computer terminals.
Thank you, i needed somthing to watch while eating
Dude i remember reading all this stuff when i first found it, crazy stuff
I always look at EVERYTHING when I play FO3 or FONV, I was lucky and just found it by accident on my first walkthrough. It was so cool to find a vault right there under an empty parking lot
Excellent video! I did feel that thos vault was underwritten.
Hey I've always loved your channel but just wondering are you going to cover starfield lore? Ive loving that game and would like to hear your voice telling me stories from it... 🙏
Eventually, right now I'm playing SF in my spare time and already have a few video ideas in mind, but I'm holding off to learn as much as I can before putting any videos together
I really enjoy these videos
wasn't the blue star on the cap of the sunset sasparilla part of a promotional campaign they had going prior to the Great War?
Just made a comment on this. I thought it was the funniest part. A blue star bottle cap, for a meaningless pre-war competition, was what furthered a conspiracy in the vault haha
How did I not know of this vault...
We are currently living in vault 19.
Great video ❤
I always forget this one exist
Personally enjoyed the visuals this round, captivating 🖤
Wow, I don't think I ever found, entered, or even heard of Vault 19 in either of my playthroughs. Then again, I never finished the Vault 22 quest, either.
I think it could be argued that the new inhabitants of the vault might've done some cleaning up, if the original inhabitants had indeed gone to war with eachother.
It's not unfeasible that the gangs would've cleaned up the blood and removed the bodies from the vault, to make it more livable for themselves.
So I don't really agree with the assertion that the Vault 19 dwellers definitely escaped.
I disagree, the level of cleaning would be minimal and the bones of the inhabitants would either be dumped outside or shoved into a closet and locked, but we don't see anything like that
SEE, RED ! No wait that's blood
These are amazing, gg!
It is mad to me that so many people have never heard of this vault. 😅
This is the beauty of new vegas however. Always something new to discover.
Lured bsck in not just for the lore but the soothingly sweet sultry voice.
This vault has possibly my favorite backstory. I wish there was more gameplay associated with the story rather than it just being all text logs though
Will you make new challenge vids again but this time for F4? Really miss those
What i realised by now, that these videos are mostly about New Vegas. I am not complaining though, i started playing that game recently and so far i am invested.
The reds are definitely the bad guys in this. Glowing red eyes? Evil. Red lightsaber? Evil. Red jumpsuit? You do the math.
This reminds me of the Hawthorne Works experiments.
I just want a red vault suit.
I just realized… the voice over the intercom that only the kids could hear. Kids have the ability to hear much higher pitched sounds and lose that ability as they age. Whoever wrote the story of this vault must have done their research.
I imagine the speakers on the blue side are just blaring "RED SPY IS IN THE BASE". I didn't even know this was in New Vegas. Now we have the TF2 vault.
Another banger!
