How is a baby's SPECIAL determined in Fallout Shelter?
In Fallout Shelter, a baby's SPECIAL stats are influenced by their parents’ stats. The higher the parents' SPECIAL stats, the better the chances the baby will inherit strong attributes. It’s a blend of both parents' stats, so if you're aiming for super-Dwellers, pair up those with high SPECIAL scores!

It's all about the parents' stats. Higher the parents' SPECIAL, the better the baby's stats. It's that simple.
The kid's SPECIAL is kinda like a genetic lottery in Fallout Shelter. High SPECIAL parents tend to have better stat babies, but it’s not a guarantee. Think of it as playing the genetic lottery.
