The Hero Biography is a system in Fallout Shelter Online accessed via the VR Room. It allows the player to learn more about the lore of certain characters in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.
Each character has 5 ranks which can be incredibly difficult to acquire due to the game's gacha nature. After unlocking a rank, the player controls the character; the gameplay is often very puzzle-like in nature, and the player must carefully think critically about how to complete it, such as when to use a Stealth Boy to sneak past a dangerous room.
