Overview

The Bonelands are the wasteland region surrounding the Vault, Dustmere Rest, and Bonetown, with exploration sites tied to water, salvage, raiders, and early quests.

Overview

The Bonelands are the wasteland surrounding the player’s Vault. Current location scenes identify the playable area around Dustmere Rest as the South Bonelands, a dry region of cracked ground, dunes, ruined infrastructure, abandoned vehicles, and scavenged construction sites.

World Map exploration reveals locations and encounters. Some sites can be discovered freely, while others only appear when their related quest is active.

Known locations

  • The Vault
  • Dustmere Rest
  • Contaminated Well: A discoverable water source with visibly polluted water and signs that others know its location.
  • Building Site: A quest-linked source of Scrap Metal containing a ruined construction project and abandoned machinery.
  • Concrete Ruins: An ambush site west of Dustmere Rest, discovered during The Watcher in the Ruins.
  • Lost Caravan: The wreckage investigated during The Lost Caravan.
  • Buried Substation: The objective location for The Buried Station.
  • Bonetown

Exploration and hazards

  • The Contaminated Well can be discovered through a one-time exploration event.
  • Dustmere Rest becomes discoverable after the Contaminated Well event.
  • The Building Site appears while Scrap for survival is active.
  • The Concrete Ruins appear while The Watcher in the Ruins is active.
  • The Lost Caravan site appears while The Lost Caravan is active.
  • The approach to Bonetown is unlocked during Bones in Bonetown.
  • Sandstorms, scarce clean water, unstable ruins, and hostile scavengers are recurring regional dangers.

Regional role

The Bonelands connect the Vault’s early survival loop to Dustmere Rest’s quests and Bonetown’s larger trade and story systems. Water sources, salvage sites, and hostile encounters make exploration the primary way new opportunities are uncovered.
