When one of your dwellers stumbles across a location (like abandoned buildings, vaults, Red-Rockets, or Super Duper Marts), you can control your dweller through the location just like in the new quests. New to the existing Wasteland exploration are random location encounters. The Quests get progressively harder, and, while some are just standard “go kill something” missions, there are story lines woven through many of the multi-part quests to further flesh out the Fallout world.

Once the Quest is complete, your dwellers receive the Quest rewards and head back to your Vault. It’s easy to tell what has goodies in it as it will sparkle. There will be enemies to fight, some corpses will stay to be looted, and some furniture can also be looted. Once at the Quest location, dwellers can be moved from room to room to explore. Their status can be viewed just like any other dweller in the Wasteland–tap the Wasteland to see how much longer they have to get to their destination (or to get back once complete). Once all prereqs are met, you can select your dwellers and send them off.Įach Quest has a set travel time for your dwellers to get there. Most Quests have prerequisites like minimum level or specific equipment requirements. All available and completed Quests are shown. Once built, tapping on the office or the PipBoy in the menu, brings up the Quests screen. Each upgrade allows for more simultaneous Quests. Like with all the other rooms, it can be upgraded several stages. To get started, you need to build an Overseer’s Office. The biggest part of the new update by far are the quests. This latest update introduces Quests, Wasteland exploration of locations, some new combat mechanics, a slew of new enemies, and new in-game purchases to make the game easier/faster if that’s your jam. Fallout Shelter is one of my favorite mobile games of the past year, and with its anniversary, a major new update has rolled out.įallout Shelter has added a bunch of new features that make it a lot more than a resource management and base building game.
