Need more dwellers for your vault in Fallout Shelter?
Here’s how to recruit more people.
To heal irradiated Dwellers, you better treat them with RadAway as soon as possible.
What Is RadAway?
Rads are thered portionof a Vault Dweller’s health bar and indicatehow irradiated that Dweller is.
Irradiated Dwellers arelethargic, ill, and unhappy,and over time, theymay even die.
Rads will alsolower Health pointsover time, eating into your Dwellers' Health bar.
Vault Dwellers who are otherwisewell cared forwill regain Health points and lose Radsover time.
Tohealyour Vault Dwellers fromRadiation poisoning,you gotta give themRadAway.
RadAway and Stimpaksdo not take up inventory spacein your Storage Facilities.
The Science Lab is a specialized room that uses a Dweller’sIntelligence statto craft RadAway from scratch.
you’re free to haveas manyScience Labsas you wantin your Vault.
You canunlockthe Science Lab after having16 Dwellersin your Vault.
Your first Science Lab costs400 Capsto build.
How To Use RadAway
There are two main methods to healing your Dwellers with RadAway.
The first method is toheal them manually.
To do this, select an irradiated Vault Dweller andclick the RadAway symbolon their character screen.
RadAway looks like ablood bag with a nuclear waste symbolon it (a circle with three wedges inside).
The second method is used only on Vault Dwellers who areexploring the Wasteland.
Pressing this symbol willautomatically applywhichever item is needed, and heal that Dweller.
When your Wasteland explorer is irradiated, they willautomatically applythe RadAway to themselves.
Any unused RadAway they return to the Vault can bereturned to your storage facilitiesand used for another Dweller.
You mustmanuallyuse RadAway and Stimpaks on Wasteland explorers who areclearing random encounter locationsin the Wasteland.
The same goes forclearing Quest locations.
What Are Stimpaks?
Stimpaks function similarly to RadAway and can beobtained earlierin the game.
While RadAway eliminates radiation from your Vault Dwellers, Stimpaks are used toheal them.
You want as little red as possible (preferably zero).
A Stimpak is used toreplenish halfof your Vault Dwellers’Health barand fill any black portions back up with green.
One Stimpak will only heal a Vault Dweller for half the value of the Health Bar.
Tofully healan empty Health Bar, you needtwo Stimpaks.
Stimpakscannotbe used to resurrectdeceased Dwellers.
you gotta use Stimpaks when your Dwellers are injured.
How To Get Stimpaks
you’re able to get Stimpaks in thesame waysyou can get RadAway.
The only difference is that Stimpaks areproduced in a Medbayand not a Science Lab.
The Medbay is unlocked upon reaching a total of14 Dwellersin your Vault.
you’ve got the option to train a Dweller’s Intelligence stat in theClassroom.
Just like RadAway, it’s possible for you to alsoequip adventuring Vault Dwellerswith Stimpaksbeforethey leave for the Wasteland.
These Dwellers will also use Stimpaks as they adventure toreplenish their Health bar.
The process is automatic.
What Happens When Your Vault Dwellers Die?
Sometimes, bad things happen, and you just don’t have enough time or resources to fix them.
When you could’t heal a Vault Dweller in time, theirHealth bar will deplete to zero.
A Vault Dweller with anempty Health barwill enter adeathanimation and eventually collapse.
Youcan’t use RadAway or Stimpaksto revive your dead Dwellers.
you could only use healing items on Dwellers that are wounded, but still breathing.
However, choosing toremovea Dweller willpermanently remove themfrom your Vault.
You’ll still get tokeepany loot, outfits, weapons, or pets that were on their body.
