I was content to use standard Wasteland Gear to level most of my dwellers. Unfortunately, it's a pain to get one unless you're extremely lucky. The 1st upgrade requires 45 Dwellers in your. The best item is Heavy Wasteland Gear, a legendary outfit that provides +7 Endurance. I considered that the random number picked within the damage range would be affected by the dweller's stats (so having high perception, for example, could increase the average damage slightly for a non-fixed weapon), but this seems unlikely, considering the simplicity of the FO:S combat system. Upgrading the Weapon Workshop will allow you to craft better weapons.

This could be as simple as the sorting algorithm just being made that way (sorting by average damage first, and then maximum damage to settle ties), but I would argue that fixed damage weapons are actually better (given the same average damage), as they would bring more consistent victories in situations where you on average win. When sorting weapons by damage in Fallout: Shelter, weapons that have a damage range (as the Enhanced Sawed-Off Shotgun, which does 6-8 damage) are ranked higher than fixed damage weapons with the same expected average damage (such as the Rusty Laser Pistol, which deals 7 damage) when sorted by the STATS column.įor example, I currently have the following weapons in this order when sorted by stats:
