FOS Survival mode

Survival mode is an optional difficulty setting in Fallout Shelter that presents a higher level of challenge to experienced overseers.

Characteristics[]

Survival mode is enabled by checking the corresponding box above the vault number selection when creating a new vault. It cannot be enabled or disabled from an existing vault. When selecting the Survival mode button while creating a vault, the game will display a message advising the player not to choose this difficulty unless they are experienced.

Features[]

  • Resources drain at a faster rate.
  • Incidents do more damage, and occur more frequently.
  • Vault dwellers can't be revived, whether in the Vault, in the Wasteland, or on quests. They also don't heal themselves over time inside the Vault (although they recover radiation damage).
  • Objectives are more demanding, but give better rewards.
  • Quests are more challenging.
  • Deathclaws start appearing at 35+ dwellers instead of 60+.
