Tips for Getting Legendary Gear

  • Focus on SPECIAL: Many of these top-tier outfits require dwellers with maxed-out SPECIAL stats. Prioritize training your dwellers in the relevant SPECIAL attributes.
  • Crafting is Key: Most Legendary gear isn't found lying around; it needs to be crafted. Make sure you have the necessary crafting rooms (like the Outfit Workshop and Weapon Workshop) upgraded to their highest levels.
  • Gather Resources: Crafting these powerful items requires a lot of resources, particularly caps and sometimes specific junk items. Keep your dwellers working in resource-generating rooms and send them on expeditions to find rare junk.
  • Expeditions: Sending dwellers out into the wasteland is a great way to find rare junk needed for crafting and sometimes even complete Legendary outfits or their recipes. Equip them well and send them with plenty of RadAway and Stimpaks!
  • Rush Carefully: When crafting, you can sometimes rush the process using Lunchboxes. However, rushing has a chance of failure, so be prepared for that possibility.
