Fallout Shelter – Main Features
  • Build a vault – turn an excavation that’s beneath 2,000 feet of bedrock into a dream home for a thriving community.
  • Oversee the community – attract new dwellers to your community, help your dwellers repopulate and grow, get to know the dwellers and take an active role in their personal lives, provide all the necessary bits your dwellers need, make them happy and watch them flourish.
  • Explore the wasteland – earn caps, uncover weapons, and seek adventure by sending dwellers to explore the surface wasteland.
  • Watch out for threats – post-nuclear life is difficult. Watch out for threats from the outside as well as threats from the inside.
  • New quest system – assemble a group of dwellers and take on challenges outside of the Vault.
  • New combat system – that rants you greater control over your Dwellers’ actions in a fight, allowing you to direct their attacks.
