Overview[]
There are a variety of weapons featured in Fallout Shelter. They are used to equip Vault dwellers who are unarmed by default, and are useful for protecting your Vault against attacking raiders and creature infestations, as well as improving the chance that explorers survive. Note that the animations have no bearing on damage being dealt. The damage is determined entirely by the sum damage of weapons wielded by dwellers and determines how fast the enemy health bar is depleted.
Weapons can be brought by dwellers sent to explore the Wasteland, obtained through cards found in lunchboxes, and occasionally Rare or Legendary Dwellers may come equipped with their own weapon. Weapons can be stored in the storage room.
It's generally a good idea to stock up on weapons and steadily upgrade all Vault Dwellers' equipment as new types become available. This is because as the levels of the dwellers increase, enemies will attack more frequently and become steadily more powerful. A high level Vault with poor weapons will not weather the damage.
Legend[]
- Damage: This information comes from the Damage rating of each weapon, and denotes the maximum and minimum damage a weapon will produce, used either by exploring Dwellers or against raider, feral ghoul, or deathclaw attacks.
- Rarity: A weapon can either be Common, Rare, or Legendary.
- Note: The sales value of the weapon depends on their rarity. Common items sell for 10 caps, Rare for 100, and Legendary for 500 per.
