You are no longer just a denizen of the Vault. Now you are the Supervisor himself, in charge of its operation. We tell you everything you need to know to make your shelter in Fallout Shelter the best.
Fallout Shelter is a slightly different bet than what Bethesda has used to us with its post-apocalyptic saga. Instead of having to go through the Wasteland killing creatures and saving people, we will be the Overseer of a Vault and have to keep it running .
Keep in mind that this is not an easy task. People don’t have a particularly good time underground, so it’s not just a matter of eating, drinking water and sleeping, but of being entertained.
In order for your Shelter to become one of the most successful, we have prepared this complete survival guide for your tenants to survive as comfortably as possible.

Can you really play without spending money?
Like any other title in free-to-play format , Shelter offers us the possibility of buying objects to speed up processes or get ingame money with which to buy news for our Refuge.
In essence, we have three types of items that we can purchase. All can be purchased in packs with several units of each :
- Handy: Theycollect resources and plates automatically.
- LunchBox : a loot box of random content. It can contain everything from a Mr. Crafty to a dweller, badges, resources …
- Nuka Cola:speed up activities.
- Pet Cage – Youget a Common, Rare, or Legendary pet. Assigning pets to dwellers offers special bonuses.
As you can see, we are not talking about one of those situations in which you have the typical premium ingame currency in the form of Gems, Crystals and others that make you necessarily have to go through the cashier yes or yes. No, in this case we are only talking about a reduction of time in the creation of the simplest objects. Therefore, it is completely possible to play without spending money .
Vault Dwellers
The reason for your existence as a Supervisor. The idea is that you should get as many Refuge Dwellers (people who live in your facilities) as possible, keep them happy, entertained and of course, that they are also productive. A happy Dweller is a productive Dweller. A productive Dweller is a Dweller who does his job well, provides resources, caps, and makes sure everything is in order. A nice chain of positivity and post-apocalyptic help.
The natural life cycle of a Vault Dweller is as follows:
- The Dweller appears in your Vault in one of the available ways.
- You check their stats.
- You assign him a job based on his SPECIAL attributes.
- Generate resources and badges for you.
- You try to pair it with another Dweller to make it spawn.
- He dies (they never die of natural causes) or you expel him from the Refuge for reasons of space.
You can only have a maximum of 200 Vault Dwellers, so sooner or later you will end up expelling some of them.
Dead Dwellers can be resurrected, removed, or left there.
Incidents
Obviously, you don’t expect that in a world that has survived a nuclear war there will be no problems, right? In Fallout Shelter there are problems in the form of “Incidents” which are emergencies that you must fix as quickly as you can.
We have three types of Incidents:
- Active fires.
- Mutracha attacks.
- Looter attacks.
Keep in mind that whenever an incident occurs, you should remember these two things:
- Pregnant womenand children will flee to the nearest bedroom when an Incident begins. They will not abandon it until it is fixed.
- If you don’t fix an Incident quickly, people will die.
Rooms
Your Refuge is divided into rooms, rooms, rooms, or whatever you want to call them . They are the rooms that make up the Vault-Tec facilities that have been assigned to you and in them the lives of your Dwellers will take place.
Keep in mind that they are not simple bedrooms : if you have played a Fallout you will know that all kinds of activities are carried out in the Shelters. In total, we have 21 types of rooms available, and in each of them a specific activity is carried out:
- Accommodations
- Arsenal
- Lift
- Classroom
- Store
- Coffee
- Coffee shop
- Purifier
- Nuka-Cola Bottling
- Nursing
- Radio studio
- Energy generator
- Yard
- Laboratory
- Refuge door
- Water purifier
- Nuclear reactor
- Exercises room
- Fitness room
- Weight room
- Game room
Explore the Wasteland
Although you will not go on your own to explore the Wasteland as in other games in the series, it is possible to explore if you send a Dweller .
- The Dweller can die if he is not properly equipped.
- The Dweller, upon his return, will bring objects of all kinds.
- The Dweller cannot die once you order him to return.
Exploring the Wasteland is one of the main sources of resources and items, but keep in mind that, as always, it is a dangerous activity. So the idea to do this effectively is as follows:
- Pick a Dweller with good SPECIALS and equip him with the best weapons and outfits.
- Don’t forget to give her Stimulants and RadAway.
- Send him to the Wasteland.
- Pay attention to it every now and then to make sure it survives.
- If he runs out of Stimulants(without RadAway he may survive a little longer, remember to cure him when he returns) and you see that he is going to die, bring him back .
- As we said above, he cannot die while he returns, nor will he be harmed. Therefore, the way back is not something to worry about and you can speed up your trip as much as possible. Of course, remember to heal him as soon as he enters the Refuge .
goals
Like many games of this type, one of the ways that Bethesda keeps us hooked is with a system of achievements and direct rewards, the Objectives, a list that we can consult in-game and that will give us Badges and objects for reaching certain milestones .
There are tons of Objectives that we can complete, of all kinds, ranging from accumulating a certain amount of a certain type of resource to achieving something that we could call “tutorial tasks”, such as getting your Dwellers to reproduce and other rarer ones, such as find a Bald Dweller.
Keep in mind that this is not a simple matter of getting badges, because you can also get Tarteras, the loot boxes in the game , which can be a very interesting reward.
Resources
In Fallout Shelter we have several types of resources, supplies, objects or whatever you prefer to call them . We are going to find them of three types, mainly:
- Equipment:Weapons and armor / outfits for the Vault Dwellers.
- Supplies:energy, water and food. The first is necessary for the Shelter to function, the rest to keep people alive.
- Objects:RadAway and Stimulants. They serve to heal the effects of radiation and health, respectively.
You will get the resources by completing missions and objectives, or by producing them yourself, as in the case of food, water and energy.
How to get money fast
Obtaining badges is a job of Captain Obvious . It is something that you will do based on playing and doing the most obvious things:
- Complete missions and objectives.
- Defeat enemies and collect loot.
- Sell what you have left.
There is no really “quick” way to do it, but it is fairly easy to understand how it works.
Tricks
Obviously, as free-to-play that it is, don’t expect tricks that allow you to get infinite resources , that’s what micropayments are for and logically the title is based on them. However, we do have some tips to share with you .
