Fallout Shelter launched back in June during Bethesda's inaugural E3 press conference and ever since we've been hard at work overseeing things in our vault. A new update hit Android and iOS the other day and it adds a few new welcome additions along with bug fixes. Among the new features are the ability to loot raiders, and you may come across a mysterious stranger in your vault. Below is a list of the new features.
· New Vault-Tec network protocols are finally in place. Now you can save your Vault to the "cloud," (no moisture condenser necessary!) and continue any Vault experiment on all of your devices.
· Some Dwellers are reporting sightings of a mysterious individual in Vaults around the Wasteland. Vault-Tec is offering a bottle cap reward for any positive identification!
· Faced all the challenges the "normal" Vault simulation can provide? Introducing Survival Mode! More danger, More glory. Make Vault-Tec proud!
· New Vault-Tec directive - Dwellers have been given authorization to scavenge equipment from dead Raiders. Gear up!
· Are you an experienced Overseer who has already undergone Vault operational training? Now you can skip the tutorial!
· In an effort to assist Overseers in running their Vaults more efficiently, Vault-Tec has added a statistics page to the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide (VDSG).
· Support added for Russian-speaking Overseers.
· Continued general maintenance to the Vault simulation. Because when you speak, Vault-Tec listens!
· Available exclusively on the App Store, all new legendary character Piper from Fallout 4 and five FREE lunchboxes!
All of this is naturally great, but the update also caused issues with our save game as there is now a limit applied to the number of dwellers you can send out to scout the wasteland. This actually caused some major issues, including freezes. Hopefully these compatibility issues will not affect the game longterm.
