Fallout is one of Bethesda's biggest game franchises, and it has always been known for having an adorable dog named Dogmeat that has acted as a guide and companion for the main character. The dog, who first made its appearance in the original game, is modeled after a dog known as River, who passed away in 2021.
In order to commemorate the new Fallout TV show, Fallout Shelter is celebrating by adding characters from the show into the game and one character that made the list is CX404, which is the show's version of Dogmeat. Here's how players can get her in Fallout Shelter.

Who Is CX404 in Fallout?
CX404 is the TV show's version of Dogmeat that was born in an Enclave lab. She was originally going to be put down due to her size and structure but was saved by Wilzig, who quickly became her best friend. When the two were forced to go on the run, they were found by The Ghoul, who was hunting them for a bounty that was placed on their heads by the Enclave. After that, Wilzig was able to escape with the help of Lucy MacLean, but CX404 was left behind. Once they catch up to Lucy and Wilzig, Wilzig has already died, leading CX404 to stay with The Ghoul and Lucy.

CX404's Pet Bonus
When a Vault Dweller equips a pet, they are usually given some sort of bonus to go along with it. In the case of CX404, they will get a boost to the XP that their owner gets while doing tasks. This will be increased by 38%, giving Dwellers a decent boost.
