Why did my wasteland explorers trade out their weapons?
I sent 2 dwellers to the wasteland and waited a few hours.
I found that both had traded out their weapons from shotguns to a mini-gun and a plasma pistol.
Why would they do that?
Best Answer
Assuming you're referring to typical shotguns (there are various types of shotguns with different damage ratings) and typical a typical mini-gun or plasma pistol, they traded their weapons because the new weapon had a higher damage rating (which, as far as I know, is the only stat for weapons). This happens automatically when dwellers locate higher damage weapons in the Wasteland.

What is the strongest weapon in Fallout Shelter?
Dragon's Maw Ignoring AoE or maximum damage, the Dragon's Maw is the most consistent, high damaging weapon in Fallout Shelter. Dishing out the highest sustained damage out of all other weapons, sending 2 dwellers equipped with Dragon's Maws out with another utilising an AoE damaging launcher is extremely effective!How do you get rare weapons in Fallout Shelter?
If you have enough dwellers, the best method of finding rare weapons is to build a Game Room and train your dwellers' Luck. Luck is (as far as I know) specifically for sending dwellers into the badlands, and will greatly increase your chances of finding better weapons/outfits. Hope this helps!Do Shelter weapons?
