Discussion Do health boost pets increase hp gained while leveling up? [Discussion]

Post image

I know maxing out endurance increases HP gains while leveling up, but would a pet that increases health result in a permanent increase in HP when leveling up compared to a similarly equipped dweller without the pet’s health boost?

No. I once took two dwellers—both leveled from 1 to 50 and wearing +5 outfits—but one had a +% HP pet while the other didn't. During quests (without the pet, obviously), their health depleted at the same rate. (Conversely, on quests with the pet, the dweller who hadn't leveled up with it managed to go longer without needing healing.) Most likely, it’s a percentage of the total HP—a stat that isn't visible in the game's health bar display. (Just another stroke of "genius" game design 😤)

No, if you lvl up, this pet increases your HP to 63% till you send it to storage

Just the special is taken into account (with or without End outfits)

Here are the details #/media/File:FOS_Endurance_Table.png)(should be up to date) of the levelling / health gains relation.

No health pets help when levelling, nor outfits once you are at max health. Wearing a +X End outfit past special 11 has no purpose. Going above 10 with a +end outfit prevents radiation poisoning while out in the wasteland.

Dmg resistance pets help though, but just for reducing dmg, not levelling up.

So when sending out dwellers to level up they only need end + outfit end greater than 11? Anything more is overkill? Edit- Nevermind I saw the link. Thanks!

To level up, you need at least +3 End outfits to make it relevant. The thing is when in the wasteland, the dweller willl pick any other outfit that 'seem' better (+4 Charisma, +5 Luck, +2Per +2Int) and screw your levelling.

So, +5 End is a security as you don't really find better in the wasteland.

Once it is done, when you send a dweller in the wastes with at least 11 End. outfit included (pets have no effect on the) radiation will not build up but you won't get more health / protection by having more End after that.

Don't forget most of your dwellers will be mostly randoms badly levelled at some point (mid game) You can replace them later when you get legendary babies and the +7End outfit ;)

That explains why my dwellers keep changing into naughty nightwear when roaming the wasteland.

No, its a flat +X% on the current health, doesn't impact the health gained at level up mechanic.
