Where is the Water Chip?

  • 1 of 15: Well, the Overseer says that the chip in Vault 13 is broken and you have to find a replacement.
  • 2 of 15: He's also been so nice as to mark your outside map with a starting place for your search.
  • 3 of 15: Go to Vault 15 to begin your search.
  • 4 of 15: Don't continue reading until you've already been to Vault 15 and back.
  • 5 of 15: Well, now you'll just have to check other places you've seen.
  • 6 of 15: Have you talked to everyone in Shady Sands?
  • 7 of 15: They should've told you about some other towns you could investigate.
  • 8 of 15: South of Shady Sands are The Hub and Junktown.
  • 9 of 15: Specifically, you should check out the Hub.
  • 10 of 15: Don't continue reading until you've already been to The Hub and back.
