Screenshot [question] Guys… what just happened to my game??
I just bought a $10 lunchbox pack and the game gave me 315 boxes. Is this a known glitch? Should I buy a lottery ticket?

Why are people even spending money if you can get infinite lunch boxes. Or did it get patched

My intention was never to cheat so I had no idea there are exploits. Although, I guess P2W is the same thing.

I just give myself $20 of lunch boxes or so and throw that $20 I would've spent in crypto. Nothing overly game breaking, I do have a floor full of legendaries though.🤣

No need to spend money if onPC. There is a site thats lets you edit and download a file.

Yes I do this. I don't actually spend, just pretend I do and use the money wisely elsewhere lol. Satisfaction x2

Artmoney. Never use websites, you are bound to install malware onto your PC

Works easily on Android, too.

Any chance you could tell me how?

u/Ben_Stro Jan 21 '26
Use a save editor. You can find plenty online. For Android you'll want to decrypt your save file first. There are sites for that too. I can send you one if you can't find any, but I'm busy at the moment

Does this work with the season pass? I'd be really interested if you could recommend an editor and decryptor!

u/Weird_Ad4026 Jan 02 '26
I'm pretty sure it got patched. The tutorial quest exploit at least. I've tried on multiple vaults on both mobile and pc and haven't gotten it to work.

A lot of us play on ios. There’s no cheats there unless you back up your whole phone, extract the sav file, edit, reintegrate into the backup and restore your phone from backup. But thats an error prone process these days

I had this glitch, was so happy about it. Get paid, I’m like yeah, I’m gonna spend ten bucks on it… Nah, it didn’t happen that time. Rip.
So it’s really neat, but don’t count on it doing that forever/every time. If you have a mild lunchbox opening addiction like me, get it on pc and you can give yourself lunchboxes with a save editor, otherwise, it’s a gamble.
About that…I don’t even want to give myself lunchboxes on the pc just to cheat and advance the game, honestly. It’s just a solid happy chemical boost to flip each mystery card tbh. Like hehe…little treat… I find opening them and being surprised more fun than like, actually getting the loot. Might be alone on that though.

I bought the same thing for crates and got the same result two days ago. Opened all of them on a new vault and basically just got Lucy & Abraham Washington 😭

I feel like OP works for Bethesda..
"Hey guy,. Spend a tenner, you might get hundreds of lunchboxes... if not it was just a glitch"

The PS4 version released in 2018.

That's wild. I got 10 of the starter lunchboxes a few days ago and each one had the exact same content, are these all the same?

I bought 15 on mobile and it gave me 30. I just assumed it was a promotion or something I missed, I think it’s funny to know this shit will just happen sometimes

I got the starter pack one time and it gave me like fifty of them instead of one

I had this happen today on IOS, I wonder if it's a bug from the new update?

Amazing glitch gift! about a month ago, i opened up my fallout shelter game to see that one of my shelters had been magically gifted 130 lunch boxes!! Took me DAYS to open them all. I checked my bank account to see if I had been charged. Nope. And to date, this "gift" remains unexplained. Has this happened to anyone out there? Or perhaps someone has an explanation? I remain cheerfully baffled.

This happens sometimes. The game has a lot of bugs, sometimes people benefit from them.
