One of the main goals in Fallout Shelter is managing and caring for your dwellers that reside in your vault. Each of them possesses some kind of skill or talent that makes a big difference in the gameplay. Leveling up their stats can be a bit of a grind, but luckily, there are ways to increase them.
From collecting the upgraded clothes to training them in special rooms, there are a couple of ways to increase stats. In this guide, you will discover all the ways to upgrade your dwellers' stats that will help your vault thrive, even in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Fallout Shelter: How to Delete/Remove Rooms in Your Vault
The first step in rebuilding your vault is knowing how to destroy rooms in Fallout Shelter, and here is how you can do that.
Fallout Shelter SPECIAL Stats
In Fallout Shelter, the SPECIAL Stat system plays a key role in the development of dwellers. SPECIAL is an acronym in which each letter stands for a different stat. Knowing these stats helps players stay afloat in the game. Each of these stats plays an important role in the reliability of your vault. The seven stats in Fallout Shelter are as follows:
- Strength
- Perception
- Endurance
- Charisma
- Intelligence
- Agility
- Luck
How to Increase Stats
There are two ways to increase your stats in Fallout Shelter.
Clothing with SPECIAL Attributes
Keep an eye out for clothes that come in with SPECIAL Stats in the Lunchboxes or while exploring the wasteland. Equipping your dwellers with such items significantly boosts their performance across various tasks. Hence, if you come across these outfits, be sure to assign them to your dwellers promptly.
These clothes are the only way to increase stats during the early stages of the game. If you are planning to expand your vault, then be sure to follow the latter method to increase stats.
Training Rooms for Permanent Stat Increases
Over the course of the game, you eventually get the chance to open training rooms that allow your dwellers to permanently enhance their stats. Each room revolves around a certain SPECIAL attribute, so your dwellers can improve their particular stat.
Make sure that you do not send so many dwellers for training at the same time, as this might lead to production slowdown. Keep an eye on the balance between training and keeping your vault running smoothly.
Below are all the training rooms along with the requirements to unlock them:
- Weight Room (Strength): Unlocks at 24 dwellers
- Athletics Room (Agility): Unlocks at 26 dwellers
- Armory (Perception): Unlocks at 28 dwellers
- Classroom (Intelligence): Unlocks at 30 dwellers
- Fitness Room (Endurance): Unlocks at 35 dwellers
- Lounge (Charisma): Unlocks at 40 dwellers
- Game Room (Luck): Unlocks at 50 dwellers
In the beginning, focus on training dwellers who already have a better charisma stat. They'll be your go-to folks when it comes to growing your vault.
