Fallout Shelter Legendary Dwellers & How To Get Them Guide

Fallout Shelter is one of the popular games to ever come out. In fact, the Google Play Store dubbed it as one of the Google Play Best of 2015. It is a simulation game where you build an underground shelter where survivors (who are called Dwellers) can live and thrive. This is possible in the game since you can build more than just living quarters and provide basic supplies.

You can actually build facilities that can produce food and water, provide medical care, power and electricity, and even entertainment. There are also facilities that dwellers can use to train and increase certain attributes. Now, these facilities won’t just function by themselves, you will have to assign dwellers to make them work. You can assign any dweller to any facility, but each facility works better if the dwellers assigned are high on certain attributes. You can also use Google Play Redeem Codes to earn rewards in Fallout Shelter.

Aside from operating the facilities, dwellers can also explore the outside world and gather treasures and supplies. Now dwellers are not created equal, there are certain dwellers that are better than the other. But the top dwellers in the game right now are called Legendary Dwellers, which contain high attributes, as well as better equipment and weapon. There are currently 23 Legendary Dwellers right now and this article will discuss each one and how to acquire them.

The Different Legendary Dwellers in Fallout Shelter

Fallout Shelter currently has 23 Legendary Dwellers. According to an article from IGN, Legendary Dwellers would have 40 SPECIAL stat distributed to their attributes and come with outfit and weapon. The weapons and outfit can be removed and equipped to other dwellers. Legendary Dwellers will also start at a high level, which makes them more powerful.

They are just way better than regular or even Rare Dwellers. Now each Legendary Dweller is not created equal some will be better than the others. This Fallout Shelter guide will discuss each Legendary Dweller. This is to provide you with an idea of who they are and their attributes.
 

 

1. Sarah Lyons

Many consider Sarah Lyons as the best Legendary Dweller in the game right now. The main reason for this is that her SPECIAL stat is geared more for combat. She has high Strength and Endurance, as well as decent Perception and Charisma, which are attributes needed for combat. She is also equipped with the Wazer Wifle, which has a 12-17 damage, and the Power Armor. Her only downside is that her Luck and Agility are on the low side.

2. Star Paladin Cross

She is another good Legendary Dweller, primarily because of her armor and weapon. She also wears the Power Armor and uses the Smugglers End weapon, which has a 7-12 damage. She has high Charisma and Perception, and a decent Strength. But her Endurance is very low, which doesn’t make her a good combat dweller.

3. Allistair Tenpenny

He is a unit who has a good weapon and outfit. He uses the Victory Rifle weapon, which deals 10-15 damage. He also wears Tenpenny’s Suit, which gives a boost to 4 attributes. He is a unit who isn’t built for combat since his Strength is very low. But he has High Perception, Charm, and Luck, making him a good dweller for exploration.

4. Preston Garvey

He is a flexible Legendary Dweller. You can use him as an explorer or as a worker in the shelter. He has high Perception, and Endurance, as well as decent Charisma and Agility. His Minutemen Uniform boosts several attributes, while his Laser Musket has a 10-13 damage.

5. Abraham Washington

This Legendary Dweller is best used inside the shelter. He possesses high Perception and Intelligence, making him a good dweller on rad-away or stimpack production. He also has a decent Luck, which increases the success rate of rushing tasks. He doesn’t wear armor or outfit and his weapon, the Lincoln Reaper, is not that good. It only deals 4-9 damage.

6. Old Longfellow

He may be old, but he is a Legendary Dweller that you rely on for exploration and combat. He has good Perception and Endurance, as well as decent Strength and Intelligence. His Henrietta weapon deals 13-16 damage and his Tattered Long Coat increases attributes geared for combat. You just need to train his Agility more to make his explorations last longer.

7. James

The primary candidate to create the stimpack or rad-away inside your shelter. James has a very high Intelligence that goes with a high Perception and Charisma. His lab coat outfit further increases his Intelligence. Don’t expect him to put up a fight in combat since his Wild Bill’s Sidearm only has 1-6 damage.
 

 

8. Jericho

For combat and exploration, Jericho is your Legendary Dweller. He has high Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Luck. He also wears Heavy Leather Armor, which further increases his Strength and Endurance. His weapon, the Infiltrator, deals 8-13 damage, which gives him a decent amount of firepower. He does have low Charisma and Intelligence, so he is mostly geared for manual labor.

9. Lucas Simms

When you put him on exploration, don’t expect to be lucky in getting lunchboxes and items since he has very low Luck. He does have high Perception and Endurance, as well as decent Strength, Charm, Intelligence, and Agility. This makes him a flexible Legendary Dweller you can put almost anywhere. He uses the Infiltrator weapon and the Sheriff Duster clothes.

10. Piper

She is a well-rounded Legendary Dweller who has high Endurance, Charisma, and Intelligence. Her Strength, Perception, Agility, and Luck are just below decent. But her Piper’s outfit increases the three attributes (except Strength), making her decent in almost everything. She’s a good dweller to perform almost anything.

11. Colonel Autumn

Another well-rounded Legendary Dweller but is best used for exploration and combat. He has very high Intelligence, making him a good fit to produce stimpack and rad-away. But he also has decent Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Agility, and Luck. His strength is just below decent at 4, but the Autumn Uniform increases that, together with his Perception, Endurance, and Charisma. He uses the Smuggler’s End weapon, which deals a decent 7-12 damage.

12. Three Dog

He is a Legendary Dweller that has high Charm and Luck. This makes him a great dweller to attract more dwellers to your shelter. But he also has decent Endurance, Agility, and Intelligence. He doesn’t have a weapon and he wears Three Dog’s Outfit, which further increases his Charm and also his Perception.

13. Scribe Rothschild

Another Legendary Dweller who has high Charisma, which makes him a good dweller to attract new dwellers to your shelter. But unlike Three Dog, he is more well-rounded, making him a good dweller to do almost anything. His armor, Scribe Rothschild’s Robe, further increases his Perception, Endurance, Charm, and Intelligence. He uses the Lone Wanderer weapon, which only has 2-7 damage.

14. Mr. Burke

A Legendary Dweller who has high Intelligence, Luck, and Perception, Mr. Burke is the dweller you need if you want to increase the success rate of rushing certain functions in the shelter. He has decent enough attributes across the board, which allows you to put him everywhere. He has the Lucky Formal Wear, which further increases his Luck. He uses the weak Wild Bill’s Sidearm weapon, which only has 1-6 damage.
 

 

15. Moira Brown

Moira is a Legendary Dweller that can perform several roles greatly. She has a high Perception, Charm, and Intelligence. She uses the Expert Jumpsuit armor, which increases her Agility. This makes her a good dweller that can last a long time on explorations. But you have to equip her with a weapon since she doesn’t have her own.

16. Harkness

He is a Legendary Dweller that is built for combat and exploration. He has high Strength and Endurance, and a decent Agility. He uses the Heavy Battle Armor, which further increases his Strength and Endurance. He uses the Infiltrator weapon, which is a decent weapon. You won’t have problems using him as a defender of the shelter or as an explorer.

17. Eulogy Jones

He is another Legendary Dweller with high Luck and Charm. He also has decent attributes, except for his Agility. This makes him a good dweller to be placed in almost every role, except for exploring. He wears the Eulogy Jone’s Suit, which increases Performance, Charm, Intelligence, and Luck. He also has the Blackhawk weapon, which has a 3-8 damage.

18. Elder Lyons

A Legendary Dweller who has very high Intelligence, Charm, and Luck. He is a dweller that is best used to attract more dwellers or create stimpack or rad-away. He wears the Elder Robe, which further increases his Charm and Agility. He uses the Smuggler’s End weapon, which has decent damage.

19. Dr. Li

A Legendary Dweller who is best used inside the laboratory, Dr. Li has very high Intelligence. But she also has decent Perception, Endurance, and Charm, allowing her to perform other functions well. She doesn’t have a weapon and wears the Expert Lab Coat, which further increases her Intelligence.

20. Confessor Cromwell

He is a Legendary Dweller who has high Charm, as well as decent Strength, Endurance, and Intelligence. This gives him the flexibility to excel in certain roles in Fallout Shelter. His outfit, Confessor Cromwell’s Rags, increases his Perception, Endurance, Intelligence, and Luck, making him a more well-rounded dweller.

21. Butch

He is a well-rounded Legendary Dweller, having high Charm and decent Strength, Perception, Endurance, Intelligence, and Agility. He wears the Tunnel Snake’s Outfit, which further increases his Perception, Endurance, Charm, and Agility. His Luck, though, is very low. So don’t expect him to increase the success rate of rushing functions or finding good treasures when exploring. He uses the Lone Wanderer weapon.

22. Bittercup

She is another well-rounded Legendary Dweller, who has high Endurance and Charm, and decent at everything else except Perception. But the Bittercup’s Outfit takes care of that since it increases Strength, Perception, Endurance, and Intelligence. If you’re going to make her explore, you should equip a weapon since she doesn’t have any.

23. Amata

A Legendary Dweller that has high Charm and Agility, and decent Luck, Perception, and Endurance. Amata can be good at everything and her Luck will allow her to increase the success rate of rushes or find treasure when exploring. But you need to equip her with decent armor since she doesn’t have one.

Acquiring Legendary Dwellers

The only way to acquire Legendary Dwellers right now is through the Lunchboxes. And since lunchboxes are based on luck, you will need to open a lot of them to increase your chances of acquiring Legendary Dwellers. You can also choose to spend real money and buy the Legendary Dwellers. But that’s not really advisable, since you can still have a decent shelter, even if you don’t have Legendary Dwellers.

You can choose to create Legendary Babies. But this doesn’t create the actual Legendary Dweller. When you do this, you just pass on the high SPECIAL stats to these babies. They also don’t count towards the acquire Legendary Dweller quest. So this can be an alternative to getting dwellers with high attributes.
