Fallout Shelter characters

Characters within the game range from enemies to your own citizens. Vault citizens are known as dwellers and players have taken to calling enemies invaders.

Rare dwellers are found in lunchboxes. Their names are randomly generated. Each arrives wearing a rare outfit or carrying a rare weapon. Rare dwellers keep their outfit when entering the vault, rather than immediately switching to a vault suit.

There are 23 different legendary dwellers to collect. These are named after main characters from Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. Legendary dwellers are found randomly through opening lunchboxes. Legendary dwellers have a total sum of 40 SPECIAL points.

Legendary dwellers are not unique. A vault can have multiple legendary dwellers of the same name. All legendary dweller cards are equally likely to be found in a lunchbox, regardless of whether any legendary dwellers are already in the vault.

Some Legendary dwellers, such as Sarah Lyons and Preston Garvey can be obtained through completing their respective quests from the Overseer's office.
