18 Fallout Shelter Tips, Tricks, Cheats & Strategies
Strengthen Vault Door & Add Guards
Eventually, raiders will attack to steal resources and kill your dwellers. When you have 500 caps to spare, upgrade the vault door and as you gain weapons you can equip a few dwellers to guard the door and take the raiders on without waiting for them to break into other areas.
Upgrade the door to prevent attacks from succeeding.
Bring Dwellers Back from the Dead
Use caps to revive a dead dweller.
If you lose a dweller to death by raider, exploration or accident, you can bring them back from the dead to help you out again. You need to spend caps to do this, but it is worth it for higher level dwellers with special skills you need.
Sell Fallout Shelter Items
Eventually, you will gain too many items that you don’t need. You can sell these to get caps that you can use to build and revive dead players. Tap on the Pip Boy icon in the lower right corner and then on items in storage to sell them. This will come into play as you get more items. To start, it’s a good idea to equip and not sell.
Scrap to Craft
With the Fallout Shelter 1.5 update, you can now scrap unwanted weapons and outfits and then craft the materials into weapons or outfits that you want and need.
You’ll need to scrap several items to get enough materials to craft into something else. The items you get depend on the level of the weapons or outfits you scrap. What you get from scrapping varies, so experiment and learn what is best to scrap.
Adopt a Fallout Shelter Pet
You can add a pet to your Fallout Shelter, and it’s not just about making residents happy or adding another mouth to feed.
The Fallout Shelter pets add a bonus to the dweller you assign it to. Think of them as a companion from Fallout 4. You can only add one pet to a dweller, but you can have multiple Fallout Shelter pets.
You’ll find them in lunchboxes and in a Pet Carrier. You can assign them to a dweller for bonuses inside the vault or while exploring the wasteland. Here’s a listing of what each of the Fallout Shelter pet bonuses do.
