The Vault 404 Field Guide is your manual for missions, clues, PERKs, and wasteland intel.
Some missions take seconds. Some take effort. Some may send you wandering around Downtown Atlanta wondering how your life came to this. That’s kind of the point.
Survival Difficulty challenges are optional. The goal isn’t to finish first. The goal is to have a better Dragon Con because you played.
