If you are lucky, you'll find a legendary weapon in lunchbox

Dwellers need weapons primarily in order to defend themselves against raiders and radroaches infestation. Appropriate armament also allows surviving in the wasteland.

You can get weapons in several different ways:

- it can be found in the wasteland,

- it can be found in lunchboxes,

- it can be taken from legendary dwellers (when you win them from the lunchbox), you can later hand it over to other dwellers

There are a total of 139 weapons which can be obtained while exploring the Wasteland or through Cards found in Lunchoboxes: 22 can be classified as "common", 57 as "rare" and 60 as "legendary". The legendary ones are most difficult to find, however you can also get them while exploring the wasteland. It demands a high level dweller though, with highly developed skills.

Sell useless guns (0-1 damage) to have more space in the warehouse.

Remember, that dwellers living next to the front door should be armed first as they are the first line of defense in case of the raiders attack. You can swap weapons between your dwellers freely, giving the best guns to those that need them the most. Your aim is to provide a weapon to everybody. Not equipped dwellers use a Fist which causes 0-1 damage. For this reason there is no point in storing the weapon of the same damage level as it is useless. You better sell it to gain an additional space.
