Vault 76 Builds is now open!

Welcome, dweller.

After several months of work, we're officially opening Vault 76 Builds to the whole community today.

What is this?

A site built mainly around creating and sharing builds for Fallout 76. But along the way a few more things got added, so here's a full rundown of what's inside:

Build creator

The core of the site. You can put together a full build: SPECIAL, perk cards, legendary perks, mutations, weapon (with mods and legendaries), armor (with underarmor, mods and legendaries), backpack, and power armor.

You can also write your playstyle with actual formatted text, embed YouTube videos, and one of the features I'm most proud of: you can insert inline references (like these: Bandolier2BandolierBallistic weapon ammo weighs 90% less.S Canned coffeeDRINKCanned coffeeSuper fast AP regen Ammo FactoryAmmo FactoryLEGProduce 150% more rounds when crafting ammunition.) to perks, weapons, mods, food, drinks, and a lot more directly into your text. Hover over one and it shows you the details in whatever language you're browsing the site in.

You can also tag your build by role (Commando, Rifleman/Archer, Shotgunner...), by tags (Low Health, Stealth, Farming/XP, V.A.T.S./Crits...), and mark it as human or ghoul. Publish it as a draft, public, private, or with a link to share only with whoever you want.

Community archive

All public builds show up in an archive with filters and sorting by likes or most recent. You can like or bookmark the ones you want to come back to later. If a game patch changes something a build depends on, it gets automatically flagged as outdated so the author knows to update it.

Profiles and community

Every player has a profile with their builds, achievements (up to 3 badges shown), and you can follow other users to get notified when they post something new.

RobCo Terminal

A retro terminal on the homepage running an AI assistant that runs locally in your own browser, not on a server. You can ask it about public builds, the game catalog, guides, news, or nuke codes. Desktop-only (needs WebGPU) and still in beta, so it can get things wrong. It's more of an experiment than a finished feature, but I'm quite attached to it.

Guides, news and more

There's also a guides and news section for Fallout 76, weekly nuke codes (Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie), and an Appalachia event calendar showing what's active, upcoming, or past.

Actually bilingual

One of the reasons I started this project was wanting to bring the Spanish-speaking and English-speaking communities a bit closer together. The site is in both English and Spanish, but not translated the lazy way: together with a few friends, we've gone through cards, weapons, and descriptions by hand, trying to get the terminology right in both languages.

That said, we know it's not perfect, especially with weapon and armor mods. If you spot something off, there's a submit corrections button at the bottom of the site. I'll be keeping an eye on it and fixing things as they come in.

What's next

I've got a long list of ideas for improving the site, but before building any of them I'd rather see how you all receive it first. So consider this just the beginning: try the site out, put together a build, and let me know what you think.

Thanks for being here from day one.
