The Mojave Wasteland is a big place, filled with things that are easy to miss.
Starting with some strange water at Blue Paradise Vacation Rental. Just south of Cottonwood Cove sits a collection of beach houses that have slowly sunk into the Colorado River, taking a couple of treasures along with them. The docks have since disappeared beneath the water; boats lie half submerged in the sand, and now they're home, not to people, but lakelurks. However, that's not the strange part. What is, is that for some reason the water inside the beach houses is radioactive. If you enter the flooded rooms, you'll begin taking one rad per second. Yet, if you swim just a few feet outside the buildings, in exactly the same river, the radiation disappears completely. While this is strange, what’s even stranger is you can actually drink the water inside the houses, the supposedly irradiated water, without taking any radiation damage.
As far as I can tell, there's no environmental explanation for it, no nearby barrels of nuclear waste or anything along those lines to explain why this happens, so it’s most likely just an oversight from the developers. Doesn’t make it any less strange though.

![Vaults Youve [Probably] Never Heard Of | Fallout Lore](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FqQK_GFrxqA/mqdefault.jpg "Vaults Youve [Probably] Never Heard Of | Fallout Lore
The vast underground shelters built by Vault-Tec were said to be a way of ensuring a portion of the American population would be saved in the event of nuclear war. But in truth, most Vaults weren’t built to save anyone. They were experiments, designed to gather data for the Enclave. According to Tim Cain, the plan was to use that data to build a generational star ship to colonise another planet if Earth became uninhabitable. But looking back from 2025, that vision feels less like a plan and more like a fantasy. The Vaults now seem like a playground for the elites, with only a few serving as genuine shelters. Whatever you believe, the Vaults are fascinating. And the ones I’m about to cover are considered, technically, non-canon. They come from cut content, concept art, and development leftovers. But that doesn’t mean they’ll always be non-canon. Fallout has a habit of digging up old ideas, like vault tec wanting to start the great war, something that almost happened in the cancelled fallout movie but was then confirmed in the fallout tv show.
Anyway, most of these Vaults are mysterious. We know almost nothing about them. Some have no known location, others no known purpose. But a few scraps of detail give us something to go on...
