Discover the stats and damage ranges for a variety of Rare weapons in Fallout Shelter, from shotguns to laser pistols and assault rifles.

Alright, let's dive into some of the gear you'll be finding out in the wasteland! This section is all about the weapons, specifically the 'Rare' tier ones. Knowing what these bad boys can do will help you decide what to equip your dwellers with for their expeditions or for defending the vault.

Tips for Using Rare Weapons
  • Always equip your best dwellers with the highest damage output weapons, especially for exploring the wasteland.
  • Keep an eye on the damage range; some weapons might have a lower minimum but a higher maximum, making them potentially more powerful in critical hits.
  • Don't underestimate the 'Rare' tag – these are generally better than the standard issue weapons you'll find early on.
