What stat do certain weapons use in Fallout Shelter?
In Fallout Shelter, the effectiveness of weapons doesn't directly rely on the Dwellers' SPECIAL stats. Instead, weapons have a fixed damage range (like 7-12 damage) that determines how effective they are in combat. However, the Perception stat can help your Dwellers hit enemies more frequently in the Wasteland, and Strength does boost damage in quests and exploration but not the weapon stats per se.

Actually, it's all about the gear, not the stats. Equip your Dwellers with the best firepower you can find, and watch them mow down those radroaches with ease!
Weapons don't need stats; they need a Dweller who can handle them! Just make sure you're assigning the right weapons to Dwellers heading out into the Wasteland or defending against raids.
