Does Strength Affect Damage in Fallout Shelter?
Strength boosts damage but only for melee. Don't expect your gunners to suddenly turn into snipers just because they've been hitting the gym.

Yep, strength definitely affects damage in Fallout Shelter, but mostly when you're dealing with melee combat. So if you've got Dwellers armed with their fists or melee weapons, pumping up their Strength stat will give their punches and swipes a bit more oomph. For ranged weapons, other stats become more important.
Honestly, focusing too much on Strength for damage is a bit overrated. Sure, it helps with melee, but your Vault's success leans way more on resource management and having a balanced team. Don't ignore the other SPECIAL stats.
