Fallout Shelter Guide: How to Get More Caps / Money for Your Vault

We’re continuing our series of guides on the brilliant Fallout Shelter for the iPhone and iPad and in this article we’re going to focus on making you filthy rich. Which won’t be easy because of how the game is built, but some advice never hurts and it might just help you get more faster.

So let’s not waste any time and let’s check out below some tips and tricks on how to make more money / get more caps in Fallout Shelter! And don’t forget, if you want even more, to check out our guide articles here and here.

First of, and arguably the easiest way to get more Caps is by completing quests. Check them out and focus on getting them done, one at a time. This will earn you some nice money, fast, especially if you manage to get a quest that rewards you with a Lunchbox since these can hold a ton of Caps.

Next, make sure you always have a Dweller out exploring the Wastelands. They will earn more Caps than they would working in the rooms. Two important things have to be considered here, though: first, the more time they spend exploring the Wastes, the better the rewards and second – they will need half the time they spent exploring to get back home. So if you are in a quick need of caps, you can’t really rush things here!

Rush rooms to get a bonus number of caps when you succeed. This is risky business, of course, so you should only do this when the chances of failure are low – and only if you really need the resources you’ll get from rushing the room.

Caps also come from things you don’t have direct control of, but which you should keep doing in order to increase your chances of getting them: leveling up Dwellers gives you a few Caps per level – so make sure you tap on them as soon as they have gained a new level. Collecting from rooms also rewards you with Caps every now and then – but this is random. However, if you increase the number of rooms that are producing something that you can collect, you increase your chances of getting more caps. Just make sure you don’t over-expand here!
