I chose 6 dwellers for what im calling the "Spartan Program" The goal is to get their STR, PER, END, INT, and AGL to at least 7. They all wear power armor already, and their guns are all pretty decent. My first is "Star Paladin Cross" and she has an accelerated gauss rifle (16-20), and she has her main special stats (listed above) all at 6 or higher. Needless to say, she wrecks. The others are close behind, but their guns are sorta-lame things like rusty sawed off shottys and repeaters. One has a rusty railway rifle (14 atk). I actually have 2 star paladin cross' and the other was exploring the wasteland for 33 days after my vault crashed and I had to wait for a patch. She survived the entire time, and in about 2 weeks, she'll return with plenty of wicked guns.. Similar story with my other vault, except no spartans. Lucas Simms (who carries an experimental MIRV, 20-26 or something) survived the 33 days too, and has soo many good guns. Still waiting for deathclaws to truly test my soldiers :) [spoiler]if anybody read that, ill be amazed. Im just enjoying this game so much, and am excited to see raiders and deathclaws attack once Ive got 4 of these beasts at the door. (2 at the actual door, 2 in the living quarters beside it.)[/spoiler]
