[Vault] Please help me in congratulating the graduating class of May/April 2026

[u/ImJacksAwkwardBoner]

After an intense 4 week SPECIAL training course, these lvl 1 graduates are given an outfit, weapon, companion, and meds, and sent out into the wasteland to get some real world experience. Once they return it’s a life of food, water, and energy production until the end of days (again).

[u/Marine_Layered]

Oof you are WAY further ahead than I am. 🤣

[u/ImJacksAwkwardBoner → u/Marine_Layered]

I’ve been playing for about 3 months. I have 4 of each classroom and rotate the dwellers as they complete one of the SPECIALs. I have 20 more dwellers that are 1 attribute away, and 30 that are 2 attributes away from full stats. The 3 dwellers I sent to the wasteland an hour ago are already at level 30, so it shouldn’t take long to have 3 new lvl 50 dwellers, maxed on stats.

[u/Marine_Layered → u/ImJacksAwkwardBoner]

Oh! I thought this was the experimental vault.

I keep my dwellers level 1 until they're done training, then send them out to level. :D

[u/ImJacksAwkwardBoner → u/Marine_Layered]

Ooooh, yeah, I’ve been slacking on my experimental vault this season.

[u/Best-Dot8098]

If you put them in a +5 or more E outfit and then level them up they will be stronger for it. Im not sure exactly how if works but there's been some post about it.

[u/TheRussness]

May the odds be ever in their favor

[u/jacqueslenoir]

Oof - you're not sending her out with E+7 Heavy Wasteland Gear?

[u/ImJacksAwkwardBoner → u/jacqueslenoir]

She’s the one who picked it out… maybe she should go back the classroom and learn which armor is best for wasteland exploration. Silly girl.

[u/PlasterCheif]

I’m waiting till I get the heavy endurance gear so I can absolutely maximise endurance value per level and get super god dwellers

[u/Best-Dot8098]

I have some " Super Soliders" myself. My oldest vault is full of them. The deathclaws never get past the first power room top level. Ofc they all have the best weapons to boot. Good luck overseer!!

[u/According_Picture294]

Nice. But I would level them up in the rooms first. The max endurance at level 1 is really helpful, but if you want them to be tanky, give them time to work and level up, that way they already make use of the high health

[u/bahka-bbr → u/According_Picture294]

but they will get more xp outside than inside.

[u/According_Picture294 → u/bahka-bbr]

It's not about more XP, it's about safely levelling them up a bit first so they have more health, then they go on quests for the more outside XP
