How to Obtain Weapons in Fallout Shelter
Weapons can be found after defeating enemies, in random spots while on quests, and can be crafted using Junk. When new Dwellers arrive at the Vault, or are unlocked in a Lunchbox, they can occasionally carry a weapon with them. These weapons are usually low damage but can be scrapped for Junk to use for crafting. Very rare weaponry is found when completing high level quests, such as the Junk Jet in Journey to the Center of Vaultropolis.
