Alright, let's break down some more gear in Part 11 of our Fallout Shelter walkthrough. This section is all about the weapons you'll be equipping your dwellers with, from trusty pistols to more powerful rifles. Knowing what each weapon does is key to surviving the Wasteland and keeping your vault safe.
We've got a mix of 'Hardened' and 'Armor Piercing' variants, which can make a big difference depending on what you're up against. 'Hardened' weapons generally offer a solid base damage, while 'Armor Piercing' ones are designed to punch through tougher defenses. Let's take a look at the specifics:
| Weapon Name | Damage | Type | Description |
| Hardened .32 Pistol | 0-4 | Rare | Just enough to keep you in the fight. And maybe even win. |
| Armor Piercing .32 Pistol | 0-5 | Rare | Serious stopping power in a small package. |
| Hardened 10mm Pistol | 2-5 | Rare | Lovingly engineered and modified. A mercenary’s dream. |
| Armor Piercing 10mm Pistol | 2-6 | Rare | |
| Hardened Scoped .44 | 3-6 | Rare | They don’t call it a hand cannon for nothin’. |
| Armor Piercing Scoped .44 | 3-7 | Rare | Want to blow away a Metal Armored merc at 300 yards? Have fun. |
| Hardened Lever-Action Rifle | 4-7 | Rare | Take down those black hats like a legend of the Old West. |
| Armor Piercing Lever-Action Rifle | 4-8 | Rare | With this beauty, they may as well not even be wearing armor. |
| Hardened Hunting Rifle | 5-8 | Rare | |
| Armor Piercing Hunting Rifle | 5-9 | Rare | Most people don’t hunt Sentry Bots. You’re not most people. |
| Hardened Sawed-Off Shotgun | Carrying this, you don’t just wander the Wasteland. You own it. | ||

- For early-game dwellers or those exploring nearby areas, the .32 and 10mm pistols are a good starting point.
- As you start encountering tougher enemies or Raiders in the Wasteland, upgrade to the Scoped .44s or Lever-Action Rifles.
- The 'Armor Piercing' versions are especially valuable when you know you'll be facing enemies with high defense ratings.
- Don't forget to assign weapons to your dwellers! A well-armed dweller is a productive dweller.
