I recently got this task on a new vault. I don't understand what it means. I've had dwellers explore the wasteland for a while but haven't met this objective.Am I missing something?



Best Answer

This is a reference to the random encounters that happen to Wasteland explorers. You have to have an Overseer's office (any level) to get them. They only come up while the game is running; they will not happen once you exit. There's a morse-code-sounding noise when they come up, like a radio transmission, and the icon to either Enter or Ignore it appears below your dweller number gadget in the upper left of the user interface. You do NOT have to have built a radio station. The objective is completed once you return the explorer to the Wasteland; you don't have to wait until they come back to the Vault.

What can dwellers find in the Wasteland?

Sending Dwellers on excursion to the Wasteland will allow them to find outfits, weapons, and, of course, caps. The longer a Dweller survives in the Wasteland, the better gear they will find. Dwellers with high SPECIAL stats have a much better chance of surviving and finding helpful items out in the Wasteland.

I do not know the chance of the rare items, but I can recommend you to open equip your wanderers with lots of cool gear and then leave them overnight. Most likely they can defend themselves and so they can get cool stuff like Lockboxes.

How many dwellers can explore?

Yes, you may only have 25 explorers at any given time. At the same time, you may also have up to three teams of three dwellers performing quests, giving the grand total of dwellers that you can have outside your vault 34.

Answer 2

Trying to be as spoiler free as possible here:

Once your dweller has explored for a period of time (it can be from 1 minute to many many hours) then they may 'discover' something in the wastelands. This discovery (and their safe return I presume) will complete this objective.

If your dwellers aren't yet up to this challenge it maybe worth just recycling it into a different objective for the time being.
