Fallout Shelter is available now both on Apple iOS and Android but without any beginner tips and tricks you could wind up in trouble. The game might seem easy but its a careful balance of resources, people management and trekking into the wasteland. Get it wrong and you can find yourself without enough food, energy or water for your dwellers which can cause radiation sickness, unhappiness and rooms being shut down.
Even worse, you could be up against raiders and god forbid, Deathclaws which will rip through the vault door of your poorly managed, poorly equipped dwellers and kill every last one. We have 10 tips and tricks for you to help with your starting struggle as overseer.

Gee can’t imagine what it will be…
“Fallout 76 this, Fallout 76 that, hey you played Fallout 76 yet”
I bet it's less about the games, and all about the show and the new merch, the "community" celebrations that only the loneliest of the hardcore could enjoy in some sort of sad life-long acomplishment sort of way, and the upcoming "fan" events....look dude, I love Fallout, I just can't with the current Big Bang theoryesque geek culture fandom growing arround it. The '76 Mod-job playroom sandbox shi7 has been done to death, and feels more like a cringe camp of Ready Player One characters all trying to main-character their way through Fallout. Ick. Fallout needs to get back to its roots, and I don't mean isometric.
When Fallout Shelter was originally released, a lot of people quickly fell in love with it. The game is addicting, as you expect any good mobile game to be. That said, it could definitely be improved with a sequel.
Let's take a step back into the good old days when Wi-Fi and data were nothing to worry about and look at the very Best Offline iPhone Games.
Don't have more than one kid at a time in early game....I repeat do not have more than one kid.
Some tips from my experience -
1. Backup. Don't know if this is possible with apple devices, but Android users - backup your save file every now and then. When your entire base gets wiped out by a single unlucky radroach or molerat infestation, you'll be glad you did. In file expolorer on your phone or PC -
Internal Storage/Android/Data/com.beths oft.falloutshelter/files
Backup the Vaultx.sav files where 'x' is a number, like Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav (depends on how many vaults you have)
Send it to Drive or something.
Only takes 15 seconds, and will save you a lot of frustration.
2. In the earlier stages of the game, when you have only a few good weapons, DO NOT evenly distribute them and arm your dwellers. DO NOT give them to the dwellers near the entrance either. This will kill your vault off with infestations.
Keep your 5-6 best weapons unequipped and in storage.
When raiders come, quickly arm the dwellers closest to the entrance.
When room gets infested, arm the dwellers in that room with the best weapons.
After any incident, unequip those weapons and keep them in storage.
Forgetting the last step has cost me my vault many times. Radroach infestations are OP.
3. When you're away from the game, bad things don't happen. As long as you have your resources well above the minimum, don't leave the game on for no reason. You'll just be opening yourself up to more incidents.
this game leveled up quite fast, im on android, in early stage i got fatman and another weapon that on 10+ power.
now mh highest dweller on level 49, but a a deathclaw attack still able to breach my vault up to 3 floors before they get killed. but that not as bothersome as molerats though..
