All you need to survive in their is a weeks food and a radiation suit. So, as long as you have that, it works. And the people who made it had good intentions instead of experimenting on you.
Well no, I made it up, BUT, there is one vault that isn't made up, this vault solved all its problems by gambling, and it actually worked! But last time I saw it the place was filled with concrete and turned into a hotel.
Well, the Vaults did work... sort of, so long as you were lucky enough to get into a 'control' vault and not get experimented on. But really, in principle, the Vaults weren't so much to shelter the whole of the population, just the people who mattered (IE those who could afford to pay for a berth or was high up in Vault-Tec)
I exactly told this to my friend and he just replyed me: ''Yes but it can help you while the bomb hits the ground...'' I KNEW this wouldnt be of any help
Good for hiding in Fallout 3, good for shielding yourself from explosives in Fallout 4. That’s about it. Given the choices, I’d rather spend a LOT of money on staying in a vault (preferably a control vault or a benign experimental vault) then take my chances with these port-a-shelters.
the funny thing is vault-tec did drills. and after awhile people just ignored the sirens. then on oct. 23 2077 BOOM!!! so the vaults closed thier doors and some of the people who were supposed to go in vault 101 tried failed and hid in springvaile or whatever till the flashes of the bombs stopped and founded megaton.
i agree with prophetoftheword i use the shelters as great ways to hide from super mutants and raiders and a good source of extra cash (considering there sometimes full of ammo)
3 reasons why the Pulowski Preservation shelters didn't work: 1) No-one could possibly survive while waiting out the radiation. 2) It does not fully protect against radiation (it has a fan in the back). 3)The clostrophobic nature of of the shelter led some of the occupents to suicide. And their was also the fact that the occupents had to bring their goods with to the shelter and had to exacly pay 25 c.
The fallout universe differs from ours because of technological and social divergences during WWII; in the alternate timeline, technological development focused upon atomics and robotics rather than advances in miniaturization or visual displays. Computers still rely upon vacuum tubes and frequently rely upon monochrome displays, as without the invention of the microchip, modern computing was an impossibility.
I said that, well acturly I said goods but I ment food aswell. But your right all the same, I mean the only chance you could be holding food at the time was if you was going home holding a bag of grocery's you brought from a food store.
@herosortof7529 There is a suction hose in the shelter. In the quest "Those!" Bryan Wilkis says while inside it "What's this funny suction hose for?" which is for that reason.
@theguywhoannoysme Technically the vaults didn't fail. In fact for the most part, they performed completely different to what they were advertised to be but close to what they were designed to do. They were supposed to be social experiments designed to test human limitations to the point of failure and seeing how the vast majority became deathtraps I'd say they worked just fine at it.
@Rita3500 All the Test versions did, and the ones that lived to reopen didn't open to a whole lot. Humanity slowly grows back up, but it's more lawless than before the War. A few of them tore themselves apart and 101 was 'invaded'. It's purpose failed too.
I imagined they worked alright it's that there was such small space people coulden't really fit stock piles of food with them and they didn't know when to come out. So yea...
Certain enemies can open certain doors.A super mutant can open that because he has hands yet i hid from fire ants in greyditch in one and they would not get in.Like radroches can not chase you into buildings.
Aww i wanted to see captain cosmos..... anyway once i open up a shelter and there was a ghoul in it (Feral of corse) so they dont protect from radiation!
The radiation from nuclear fallout is dangerous 24 hours after the bomb. It takes a month to starve, and a week at the most for radiation to die down. At least, that's what the Public service announcement said...
There's about a dozen skeletons in the Capital Wasteland that would like to inform the good people at Pulowski that their products didn't quite work as well as advertised.
@herosortof7529 Consumer 2: This IS the bathroom! Consumer 1: Oh, okay, good. *ziiiiiip* Consumer 2: *holds trench knife at consumer 1's throat* We're going to be in here for some time. Don't make it a suicide booth. 200 years later, James Junior busts open a jammed Pulowski shelter and finds two skeletons and a knife. James Junior: Trench knife! Fuck yeah! *Grabs it, looks both ways, and runs away like a distracted squirrel. Something explodes off-screen.*
vertical tombs is how they should have been called. I remember in fallout 4 the first time I found one and heard the advertising and opened it and saw the skeleton I laughed out loud and then thought about the stupid scam.
Well, at least in Fallout 3 skeletons can be found, priving they (strangely worked to resist a nuclear bomb) but the occupants ended up dying anyway so yeah...
*Lone Wanderer somehow finds a working TV, this ad plays* LW: "personal protection"? you mean those giant bathroom-less tin cans with human skeletons are yours? talk about lazy

Love how he talks about "spending so much on vaults when we may not even need them." Makes it seem so realistic and is so true to Fallout.
it is ironic that all the pulowski shelters have dead bodies in them
That was the point, it was a con, no one could have survived in those things.
omar jackson
Is it also ironic that most of all vault tec vaults also have dead bodies in them?
Again all Vault Tec products including the Vaults were cons or experiments, hence the Super Mutants.
The other funny ironic part is it didn't really offer protection and even then the people died of suffocation due to no air holes
+Peakhelliw not true actually because one of the only things the shelter had was ventilation but that was about it
I wish they did more of these pre-war commercials.
Say what you want, these things are great for hiding in.
You know it's the fifties when the host always has a smoke in his hands.
This isn't in the 50s .
Chicken Bot I know. It's based on the fifties; I'm just making a joke.
@@chickenbot4802 if u have not noticed yet the people of fallout are kind of stuck in the 50s so :I

In fallout 4
Ricky Basta nope
Moskvitch64 he's joking jerk
maybe fallout 5
@@JR-vu9svhopefully, fallout 5
In Fallout 3, they look like just metal tubes. Wouldn't the heat from the bomb just turn the whole thing into a pressure cooker?
yes, pulowski is a fraud and just wanted to manipulate the ideas of being "safe" from nuclear bombs
Mmm pressure Cooked Human
@@dppid083wk7 That is the point practically. Pulowski "Preservation" Services wanted to make quick money because of the hysteria caused by the war.
maybe that's why there's so many skeletons in them lol
@@freasttAnother factor to their death is the lack of air holes, meaning that most suffocated.
The ones in Fallout 3 are just metal tin cans. It's pretty much a human sized oven, because the heat from the blast would cook the occupant inside.
Yum.
The thing is a metal chamber, so the heat from the blast would actually cook you alive, so it's basically just a glorified oven
In Real Life, Was Formerly Telephone Booth or Doctor Who.
All you need to survive in their is a weeks food and a radiation suit. So, as long as you have that, it works. And the people who made it had good intentions instead of experimenting on you.
Dude, I've heard someone hid in there once and they died from the rockets from the super mutants, so they don't work
Well, they may have been cheapskates but at least they didn't subject you to horrible experiments.
Well isn't the vaults from fallout shelter cannon to the actual game?
+bringoutthelegos Is there proof for that?
Well no, I made it up, BUT, there is one vault that isn't made up, this vault solved all its problems by gambling, and it actually worked! But last time I saw it the place was filled with concrete and turned into a hotel.
The dead Pulowski customers make me laugh every time I see them.
You laugh but a lot of those customers are clearly "last minute" customers.
In the next fallout we should play as a character from a Pulowski Perservation Shelter.
+Eric McIntyre Most likely a ghoul
Skeleton?
A guy that emerges from vault 76?
@@ripleylok1447 That doesn't make sense.
So the skeleton or some feral ghoul? xD
I wanna slap the people who thought they could profit from this. They should of sold radiation suits.
A radiation suit wouldn't protect you from explosions.
WHY COMMERCIALS I MISSED THE SHOW T^T it was the captain cosmos finally too
Well, the Vaults did work... sort of, so long as you were lucky enough to get into a 'control' vault and not get experimented on. But really, in principle, the Vaults weren't so much to shelter the whole of the population, just the people who mattered (IE those who could afford to pay for a berth or was high up in Vault-Tec)
I hope Bethesda makes captain cosmos a show in real life
I exactly told this to my friend and he just replyed me: ''Yes but it can help you while the bomb hits the ground...'' I KNEW this wouldnt be of any help
anyone ever notice that the ones with guns in them usually have a blood spatter on the walls? some parts of fallout are kinda depressing

And practically useless in F76 when hiding from a nuke lol
@@CEOSolarWolf I was quickly vaporized when we were testing it.
The first time I found one of those and opened it in Fallout 3 I just loled when I saw the skeleton XD.

"the sensible folks at polowski preservation services have created a tuna can for you!
2 people only brought their computer with them into the shelter.
I always wondered why they cost anything at all. Is someone going to walk around, presumably after the nuclear apocalypse, and collect all the money?
I like to imagine some of them were pre reservation
Before the actual war there were many drills and falls alarms, so many that people started to ignore them. That's how these shelters made their money.
Assuming your beer-can Pulowsky shelter even survives the initial blast
Damn, pulowski > vault Tec
alot of times i see a shelter it usually has a skelton and a gun so i guess he commited suicide
I'll stick to the spot in Vault 69 I bought, thanks though!
Lol it's funny how the guy pauses for a moment to see his line.
Guy: damn this smoke is good ( sees his air time isn't over
The fact that the Shelters are so tight that you cant even sit in them is so awfull...
3 reasons why the Pulowski Preservation shelters didn't work:
1) No-one could possibly survive while waiting out the radiation.
2) It does not fully protect against radiation (it has a fan in the back).
3)The clostrophobic nature of of the shelter led some of the occupents to suicide.
And their was also the fact that the occupents had to bring their goods with to the shelter and had to exacly pay 25 c.
yeah it was dumb to even invest in a metal test tube, just seems like a clever tomb.
Meanwhile... 300 years later u still there
Well, you are talking about trying to ride out a neuclear holocaust in what ammounts to a giant beer can
i so lmao when i saw the sign for captain cosmos co starring jangles the moon monkey on fallout 3 janglez has been my nickname for over a decade
Exact change only is priceless!
Factual information, my historical friend.
Careful, everyone. It's a museam piece.
You would think that in the year 2077 they would have coloured televisions.
God that Captain Cosmos looks good

Pulowski Preservation Shelters: Simply there to scare the Lone Wanderer when seeing your lying corpse every time he opens one.
by the time the show would have started, the world had ended...
Sounds like the average insurance company
Not much protection if everyone in there ends up dead.
Four Quarters, actually. They never put in a bill slot.
I said that, well acturly I said goods but I ment food aswell.
But your right all the same, I mean the only chance you could be holding food at the time was if you was going home holding a bag of grocery's you brought from a food store.
Yea but radiation is a form of energy transferal if I've remembered correctly
The ironic thing is that this guy was probably in a vault himself.
Am I the only one who noticed he had to take a deep breath every 2 seconds?
"Unlike those *other guys* the sensible folks at..."
There should be a Captain Cosmos GNR show.
the nukes hit right before that
Only reason why to use these Shelter's is to safely wait
@herosortof7529 There is a suction hose in the shelter. In the quest "Those!" Bryan Wilkis says while inside it "What's this funny suction hose for?" which is for that reason.
lol it looks like they already know whats going to happen

lol i love how i almost always find a corpse in their shelters
If these shelters had cryopreservation devices it might be a little more practical
In the Fallout Univerce humanity never left the 50's because every country was focusing on evolving their military power.
talk 2 manya in megaton she said"people trying to get into vault 101 eventually settled here. it was safe frome raiders(-or something like that)

I imagined they worked alright it's that there was such small space people coulden't really fit stock piles of food with them and they didn't know when to come out. So yea...
@Xspoonage And that explains the skeletons of the poor folks who were in the chambers.
And I lol'd at the tortilla concept.
Certain enemies can open certain doors.A super mutant can open that because he has hands yet i hid from fire ants in greyditch in one and they would not get in.Like radroches can not chase you into buildings.
... the shelters didn't work
I never really got it, the bombs fell in 2077 yet everything is like its from 1930

Pulowski Preservation Services: making people seem better protected.
Aww i wanted to see captain cosmos.....

The radiation from nuclear fallout is dangerous 24 hours after the bomb. It takes a month to starve, and a week at the most for radiation to die down.

Maybe they did, but just couldn't be opened from the inside.

Aww man.. I wanted to watch Jangles :(
@TruckerZane dude! half of the tunnels are collapsed! and dont forget that nearly everyone in them is a feral ghoul.
Oh... Only atomic tech... got it... thx. helps a lot.
That could well be, but they dont protect against fire or radiation in-game.
Ah good 'ol skelton holder's
And you get a free carton of cigarettes with each shelter-kit..
zippo sold seperately
hehe yes, protection for only a quarter, as long as the super mutants dont know how to throw in a quarter

Is sad how in fallout 4 you can find some toys inside of one of these thing making us think that probably a kid was inside that thing.

vertical tombs is how they should have been called. I remember in fallout 4 the first time I found one and heard the advertising and opened it and saw the skeleton I laughed out loud and then thought about the stupid scam.

@MrRe1yt It explains that in the little manual booklet that comes with the game.
While it might not have protected us from nuclear blasts, at least it protected kiddo from being burned by fire ants
@AetherSingularity it did but considering how long adiation subsides and these things dont have food and water...
