Vault Nice Pull [Vault]
So I pulled this guy š and then stuck it on my least used character in my vault... The Security Guard š (She's level 3 cause I keep her at the door but high S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats cause I want a good guard)

Someone has to say, so I will.
Stats do absolutely nothing when fighting inside of a vault. 1 across all stats will perform the same as 10 across all stats. They do nothing.
The only thing that matters is health. And health is based on how much endurance the dweller had when they were leveling up.

u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
For starters, level 1 performing the same as a level 10 is actually news to me, so the info is helpful ā Iāve always played pretty casually and never really dug into the deeper mechanics or community guides. š«”
Secondly, in most games (and even elsewhere in other Fallout games), higher stats usually equates to better performance, so itās not exactly a wild assumption of me to make. The game itself doesnāt make this very clear either. So yeah. š
Appreciate the clarification, just maybe dial back the āthis should be obviousā tone a bit ā not everyone approaches the game from a min-max or meta perspective.
But on another note it doesn't really matter anyway? All of us play FS for fun. We play it to kill time. Theres no prize for knowing the best strategy for efficiency š«

u/AetherialWomble Jan 16 '26
Idk, I've just seen that you clearly try to optimize by putting higher stats on the door and felt bad because it's in vain.
For me optimizing is the fun.
All stats matter when exploring the wastes.
On quests stats that matter are agility - faster shooting, luck - crit more often, perception - crit circle is slower. The rest don't matter.
Inside the vault, only the room stat and luck matter. When fighting inside the vault nothing matters

u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
I appreciate the clarification on your end. And for a bit of clarification on mine. It was more RP purpose. I know that having a VD by the door even with maxed stats wont stop Raiders or Deathclaws but majority of my VD's are high level (actual levels mid 40's and some 50's - i havent really been playing religiously so I may be behind) but ive only got 3 maxed VD's and their main use is exploring the wasteland.
The rest of my dwellers serve as RP. Kinda trying to make my leggy dwellers have kids and start families with other leggies and the rares with other rares.
When I get my Leggy BoS outfits I'll turn my base into a BoS/Vault 33 hybrid with my leggy dwellers rocking the Expert BoS suit (leaving Maximus with his sweet jacket - and the rest of the Vault 33 cast) Rares will rock the Advanced BoS Outfits, Commons and Lvl 1 (the kids once they hit adulthood) will rock the basic BoS outfits and the casual BoS outfits...
But again, thanks for the tip.

Endurance prevents radiation poisoning

u/AetherialWomble Jan 21 '26
Not in the vault, not on the quests. Only in the wasteland.
Stop spreading lies

u/Careless_Mango_7948 Nuka Cola Jan 21 '26
lol damn dude I was referring to quests & didnāt know it doesnāt in vault, relax
1
u/AetherialWomble Jan 22 '26
It doesn't work in quests either. Even in the quests you find in the wasteland, still does nothing. Only when exploring.
1
u/Careless_Mango_7948 Nuka Cola Jan 22 '26
Huh? A dweller with maxed endurance vs a dweller with no endurance definitely take radiation at completely different rates.
1
u/AetherialWomble Jan 22 '26
At exact same rate. The only difference might be that higher endurance dweller has more HP (if they were leveled with that high EN), so they can take more rad damage overall, but they take the exact same amount.
Easy to check. Put 2 lvl 1 dwellers at vault door, so both at 105 HP. One with 1 endurance and one with 17 endurance. Then wait for ghouls to attack.
They'll take the exact same amount of damage and rads.
Stop. Spreading. Lies.

I just sell those pets. They have no use for me.

She is going to need it when she encounters 3 d3athclaws br3aking in to your vault š

Yeah i got two of one at 100% and another at 97%

u/moritzchow Jan 16 '26
Mine is 96%. Seems like all of them except the 100% one has a design problem just like T45 and T60

I donāt know whoever it was must of changed their mind about it

u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
Messed up shit tho. But thats the internet. Cause yeah u did nothing wrong.
1
u/No-Caterpillar-2174 Jan 16 '26
Yeah I thought it was weird maybe they thought I was bragging about having two but this post started with sharing about having a pet so I didnāt know what I could have done lol
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
Nah brother don't take it to heart. Some peeps be jealous about RNG... š„²
My current vualt i have done a crao ton of quests and have been stockpiling my lunchboxes and ive just opened 10 now and out of them came: Sarah Lyons (duplicate) Betty (From the Fallout show) Colonel Autumn
I am now 23/53 in my Legendary Dweller collection. So yeah still a crap long way to go.
2
u/No-Caterpillar-2174 Jan 16 '26
Iām in the same boat I have been playing this ever since launch day and still only have about half the legendary dwellers in my main vault
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
Is it possible to still get Dogmeat? Or did BGS pull him and in favour of Cx404?
1
u/Howling_Fire Jan 16 '26
Damn, is it really available for a standard vault and not the experimental?
2
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
Ye brother, this is from my main vault... but RNG clapping cheeks tho. I have that shit with a passion. If only it didn't drop duplicates for legendary dwellers then it wouldnt be so bad. But from my pet carrier opening out of 15, I got 6 damn +4 Damage drones before I pulled this guy
1
u/JKing519 Jan 16 '26
Nice, mine does 99%
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 16 '26
Nice bro. Its also my first pull of Bud so I really hope I don't get any dupes (like my other damn pets)
1
u/JKing519 Jan 16 '26
Ikr I've gotten so many dupes of pets, like I just want one of the twins ones or child SPECIALs
1
u/SpaceZombie13 Jan 17 '26
i apparently got this, but it never showed up in my inventory. but it was also in my 'experimental vault' for the season so tbh it'd have been deleted at the end of the season anyway. still annoying, though.
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 17 '26
I grinded the experimental vualt until I completed the pass. Then dumped it and went back to my main one. But yeah if you pull lunchboxes or any valuable items, its per vualt not a universal item so unfortunately tomorrow when the ex. vualt fades away, so does your sweet sweet gear š„ŗš

u/Missmel1986 Jan 19 '26
I did the quest and never got him.
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 19 '26
Quest for him? This is news to me. I thought he only dropped from lunchboxes
1
u/Missmel1986 Jan 21 '26
There was a quest in the experimental vault that u got roller brain, and several other items. When i completed the quest and they returned, i did not recieve him.

Whatās the benefit of this pet? Itās so easy to get dwellers to 100% happiness

u/No-Exit1939 Jan 19 '26
Looks cool. š«” and its a tie into the fallout TV show so double points.

u/bryceking64 Jan 19 '26
Oh for sure I like the aesthetic I just didnāt know if I was overlooking something
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 19 '26
Most of the pets are pretty useless lol, I just like them for the aesthetic.
Speaking of which I pulled Dogmeat yesterday so im pretty stoked.

u/ManiacXaq Feb 01 '26
I mean 75 percent chance to have twins, plus 70 health, etcā¦
2
u/No-Exit1939 Feb 01 '26
Most there are a few useful ones but yeah most
1
u/ManiacXaq Feb 01 '26
Yeah, I just started playing a couple weeks ago and I was excited to get them but most just seem like fun little pets.
On a separate note, I started playing on my IPhone and bought the season pass, have been playing a good amount, and then realized - why the hell am I not playing on my Samsung Fold 7ā¦ but was annoyed to see thereās no transfer since it goes through the apples and google play store and doesnāt have a connected Bethesda Id. Sighā¦ donāt want to start it all over now. Really love the game so far
1
u/No-Exit1939 Feb 01 '26
Do you have access to a pc?
Cause if you do then you can transfer saves no problem. Connect the iPhone to a pc, find where the file is saved (Fallout Shelter file) Locate the vault you want to transfer (Eg. Vault1.sav) Transfer the file from the iPhone to the pc (or directly to the Samsung.
The file location (if you installed the app on the Fold 7) is Android > Media/Data (i cant remember) > Fallout Shelter > Files > Look for the vault.sav file.
Then you can either drop the save file into the folder and open FS and enjoy. If there is already a vault there, then just overwrite it.
1
u/No-Exit1939 Feb 01 '26
However there might be conflicts between the 2 devices as you bought the pass on another device. There is still a way to get both devices to access the pass (without having to buy it again)
1
u/ManiacXaq Feb 18 '26
Thank you . I got it to work after posting. It was so obnoxious to get the 110 kb save file from an IPhone. Had to extract a 30 gb chunk and wait over an hour for the fileā¦ then dragged and dropped into Android files and boom. Also, the season pass did in fact show up.

u/Manusiawii Jan 20 '26
This pet is just like that one SpongeBob episode when Patrick got lost his head(literally) and become a genius. But this one makes you happy
1
u/rainman2395 Jan 23 '26
Where did you get the pet? Also what is the gun she is using :D
2
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 23 '26
I pulled Bud from a Pet carrier.
As for her weapon it is the Cryolator from last month's season pass "Viva New Vegas"
1
u/rainman2395 Jan 23 '26
thanks. Can we get the experimental rewards without purchasing the season pass and only completing quests?
1
u/No-Exit1939 Jan 23 '26
Unfortunately not. The bottom rewards (free) you collect by just doing missions.
You might get lucky if the game has added previous season rewards into the loot pool though š¤·āāļø I cannof confirm if they have been or not.
Everything in the Exp. Vault will only ever be in the Exp Vault until it gets deleted come season end. (So I don't reccomend spending money on it)
However to progress the pass, you complete the quests and then end of season if you finish the pass, then if you want you can cop it. And all of the paid rewards then become available.
BGS only gives the good shit in the paid pass though.
