Fallout Shelter Adds Puppies And Kitties For Christmas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, even in a post-apocalyptic wasteland setting. Christmas has come to Fallout Shelter, and Santa Claws (the Deathclaw who brings presents to all good Vault Dwellers) has some goodies for you.
Snow is falling in the Wasteland, and your Vault is decorated for the holidays with trees and Santa hats. It looks like Santa Claws is bringing puppies and kitties to help brighten your underground days.
Pets can be equipped like weapons and armor, conferring bonuses to the Dweller to which they are assigned. Some are useful in the Vault, while others are better suited for exploration.
A new update also allows you to permanently evict Dwellers that aren’t pulling their weight. For those that are still working on increasing Vault population through reproduction, your romantically inclined couples now have new pick-up lines.
Finally, you can now sell all items when clearing out your surplus inventory. With space at a premium, efficiency matters.
Fallout Shelter was ranked the number two game in Apple’s year-end awards. You can read more about that here and download the game free for iOS and Android on those respective storefronts. For more, check out our review.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
