The starting values for those skills at Level 1 are determined by the player's 7 basic attributes, but most of those skills would fall between 0% and 50%. Would love to hear other people's suggestions, or even hear support from the developers, for other ideas to make various outfits more useful and/or more fun.There are 18 different skills in the game. Things like these, which make sense and are appropriate, and would make the various outfits both tactical and fun. Ninja Outfits allows dwellers to get a free attack at the start of combat so long as everyone in the party is wearing a Ninja Outfit. Hunter-type outfits slightly increase the amount of caps gained on misisons and increases the chance of finding caps in the wasteland. The Sports Fan Outfit could have a funny animation of the dweller charging their opponent instead of just shooting or hitting them.

For example, Wrestling Outfits could give bonus damage to unarmed dwellers and cause them to grapple with opponents in one-on-one fights, performing an attack while delaying the enemy's. This, sadly, quickly results in the vast majority of the armors in the game being, well, useless the only useful ones being those that increase a single stat more than anything else.Īdding a simple Defense rating for each outfit that would be an actual armor, like the power armors, that reduces damage by a handful of points (even if to a minimum of 1 damage per attack limit) would make outfit selection much more strategic when sending dwellers on quests or just out into the wasteland and make those outfits desireable outside of their visual aesthetic.Ī more complicated system, though one that would still be funny to see, would be to add special combat effects, or animations, to certain armors would be great. Something fast realized when playing Fallout Shelter, along with reading most any discussion about the armor system, is that no armors actually provide combat protection to the dwellers or any other kind of real combat bonuses.
