Which stats / gear can get the best our of wasteland exploration?
Trying to get the best out of wasteland exploration here! I get it that you'd obviously need a big gun for survival out there, but apart from that, I'm wondering which stats / gear can get the best out of exploration.
- How would you choose who to send out exploring from your dwellers. Which stat is the most important to choose explorers? Strength or endurance maybe?
- Does it make much of a difference equipping combat outfits? If so, whats the most important stat to boost through outfits?
I have good experience in sending out a dweller with high S and high E stats. An outfit which pushes those values further or an outfit which will add A/L would help too.
As I noticed in my own game, people with a higher L stat often come back with more corks and more/better items. S and E will help your dweller to fight against bigger enemies.
And yes, as you already stated... a very big gun would be beneficial. ;-) But if your dweller find a better thing on it's own - he will always equip it itself.
Another good thing are stimpacks and rad-away. I often gave them many on the road. This way they can survive for many hours. The longer the exploration - the better the loot.
I hope this helps you. :-)
For longer exploration in Fallout Shelter choose characters with higher:
- S / Strength: to kill stuff quicker
- E / Endurance: to take less damage
- L / Luck: to find more / better loot
Equip:
- Loads of RadAway for radiation
- Loads of Stimpack for health rejuvenation
I usually send my guys out with at least 20 Stimpaks and 15 RadAway.
As far as I almost agree with other comment, I wish to add my own observations. Looks like high perception allows dwellers to find stuff more often; charisma not only rises amount of non-argo event, but also increases caps outcome of them. So if you find yourself caps-out, you may consider a possibility of sending away charismatic guy.
