Summary
Fallout Shelteris a mobile and desktop, colony building game that takes place within the same universe as othergames in theFalloutseries. Later released for Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch players, it is completely free to download and playFallout Shelter, but the game does feature microtransactions, and there is a cash shop that the player may want to spend at least a little money on.
Exploration of the wastelandand questing is quite a large part of the gameplay inFallout Shelter. There are a great many quests, from simple single task quests to incredibly long, multiple quest chain adventures.The best questsin this game generally provide excellent rewards upon completion. Therefore, everyFallout Shelterplayer is going to want to try and complete as many as they can in order to unlock the goodies that can be gained from them. That said, not all quests are as rewarding as others.
Updated on the January 17th, 2025, by Mac Wheeler:The original list contained the top quests in Fallout Shelter, the ones that give the best rewards. However, a few more quests have now been added. These new quests are all excellent and provide some great loot, including legendary pets and vault dwellers. These new quests are all a little easier to complete than the ones included on the original list, and stand out because they offer such great loot. Unfortunately, these new quests do have quite high prerequisite requirements, and only one of them can be started in the early game stage.
Legendary Dweller Rewarded
Quest Stages
Climbing The Ranksis a 4-part questline, and it offers some pretty good rewards for such a simple quest. It is one of the few quests that rewards theme recipe fragments. However, this is a quest that has some pretty tough combat, and this is reflected in the fairly high damage requirements for starting it.
A total of 4 rare outfits are awarded, 1 for each of the quest stages. The final quest stage also rewards the player with the legendary vault dweller Sarah Lyons.
Easy To Complete For 6,800 Caps
A Settler Needs Your Helpis a fairly easy 5-stage quest inFallout Shelter. The quest is a call back to the line that Preston Garvey speaks inFallout 4; “Another settlement needs your help.” As multipart quests go inFallout Shelter, this one isn’t particularly tough. However, in order to complete all 5 parts, the player will need a team of level 50 vault dwellers.
From the perspective of loot, the player will receive some legendary loot and rare weapons by completing the whole quest chain. That said, it’s the 6,800 total caps payout that is the main reason to complete this series of quests as soon as possible.
7Secret Agent Person
Secret Agent Personis a 6-stage questline inFallout Shelter. This is a great quest to start early on in the game, as the first stage only requires a single level 13 or higher vault dweller. However, the level requirement ramps up for each part, with the last segment needing a level 48+ vault dweller. The best idea is to complete each stage as the player gains access to the right level vault dweller.
What makes this questline so useful is the huge variety of rare crafting resources that are given out as quest rewards at each stage. Most stages give out legendary junk, and the final stage rewards the player with a pet carrier. Overall, this is a really useful questline to start as early as possible.
Worth Doing To Get The Outfit
Fallout Shelterisa popular game, and most players will likely attempt this quest at some stage. TheDetective Case Filesquest inFallout Sheltercan be found under the miscellaneous category. During this quest, the player will need to search for certain clues and evidence. Progression is linear, and each of the 5 parts of this quest offers fairly decent rewards.
The main item gained from completing this quest is the Detective Outfit. This is an excellent legendary outfit with +4 boosts to perception, endurance, intelligence, and luck stats. There is also a chance the player will lootsome legendary junkalong the way. Overall, this is a great outfit to equip vault dwellers with for basic questing and wasteland exploration.
Free Legendary Pet
A Wasteland Tailis a series of related quests that every player ofFallout Shelterwill want to complete as soon as they can. However, it is not available to start until the player has completed the Journey to the Center of Vaultopolis series of quests.
After completing all 6 segments of this quest, the player will be rewarded with a random legendary pet. This is arguably the easiest way to get hold ofa legendary petwithout having to rely on the RNG when looting in the wasteland.
A Fun Themed Quest
TheNabbed from Nuka-Worldquest inFallout Shelteris a limited-time quest. This means that players need to complete it within a time limit, and if they don’t, they will fail the quest. This quest has five separate stages, and all of them have to be completed within the time limit.
Two mascots are given as a reward for completing the Nabbed from Nuka-World quest. These mascots provide certain vault-wide buffs, such as+20% to the happinessof all vault dwellers. This makes it well worth trying to get this quest done.
The Start Of The Long Horsemen Of The Post-Apocalypse Quest Series
The Horsemen of the Post-Apocalypsequest seriesis actually three sets of quest stages that form one overall quest chain. This is both the longest and the best quest series inFallout Shelter. It provides some excellent quest rewards across all three parts.
Players shouldn’t expect to complete the entire Horsemen of the Post-Apocalypse series quickly; it will take quite some time to get through all three parts, but it is well worth the effort. Even the first stage has some excellent rewards, with the massive 4000 cap reward at the end being the best of these.
Legendary Pet Reward
It is very hard to cover this epic quest chain without giving out spoilers, even the names of the quest stages give the game away somewhat. However,the second part of the Horsemen of the Post-Apocalypsequestlineis exceptionally well crafted. The player will make some startling discoveries andvisit some cool locationsas part of it, too.
The quest rewards at each stage are excellent, but it is the pet carrier awarded at the end of the quest series that is the best, as it contains a legendary pet. During this quest series, the player will discover one of the classic vaults fromFalloutcanon.
End Game Legendary Armor Reward
These are the final segments of the three interlinked Horsemen of the Post-Apocalypsequest chains. This is a tough quest to complete, but it provides some of the best item rewards of all of the quests inFallout Shelter. Once again, this is a quest series that is going to take quite some time to complete.
This quest series gives a total of over 12,000caps as rewards, with 3,000 or more being rewarded at each of the quest stages. But it is the legendary armor, which could be War’s Armor or Pestilence Armor, that is the best of all the quest rewards.
