Fallout Shelter Cheats And Hack: Get Unlimited Caps, Lunchboxes And Other Resources
Need lunchboxes and caps? No problem. We’ve found an awesome new Fallout Shelter hack for iPhone and iPad users by a reputable member of the SinfuliPhone community. The hack will allow you max out your lunchboxes and caps while also allowing you to easily obtain other useful resources in the game’s store. The trick is a hack, but doesn’t require jailbreaking. You just need a computer, the free iFunbox software and your iOS gaming device. (UPDATE: In testing the hack on several firmwares, I've discovered this hack will not work with iOS 8.3 or above due to missing app folders.)
Step 1: Download iFun Box On Your Computer
You will need to use iFunbox to install the hacked Stormblades cheat files on your device. You can download iFunbox for Macintosh here, and for Windows, here.
Step 2: If You Have iTunes 12.1 And Above, Download This Fixed iFunbox Version
iTunes 12.1 kinda broke stuff for a lot of people who like to use hacks, but one user has found a way to fix that and created a patch for the iTunes issue. You can get the fix here. Download and install it.
Step 3: Download Fallout Shelter Cheats iOS Hack Files On Your Computer
Ok, now you need to download the cheat files for the game. Below is a link where the .zip file can be found. Once you download it, unzip it and you should end up with a new folder called "Documents." Make sure you know where you saved that so you can access it later.

Step 4: Close Out Fallout Shelter Completely and Install Files
Ok, to prepare to install the new Fallout Shelter iOS game hack, open the Fallout Shelter app, then close it out entirely in the app switcher.
Next, you need to plug your iPhone or iPad to the computer with iFunBox and the cheat files on it. Once your device is connected to the computer, open iFunBox and in the menu on the left click on "User Applications." You should see a screen similar to the one below.
1) Search through the app icons until you see the Fallout Shelter game icon. Double-click on it, and it should contain a Documents folder, Library folder etc.
2) Drag the newly downloaded documents folder into the Fallout Shelter app in iFunBox (You may be asked if you want to replace the old Documents folder. If so, replace it.)
3) Disconnect you device, open the Fallout Shelter app and press ENTER VAULT 696 or select VAULT LIST and press VAULT 696 then press LOAD VAULT.
That's it! Just close iFunBox, unplug your device, and start the Fallout Shelter game. If you did it correctly, the cheats should now be installed and you'll have the max amount of food, medical supplies, materials, and resources while having the ability to craft pretty much anything. This hack has been created courtesy of a user in the SINfuliPhone community. Be sure to thank the creator, here.

Fallout Shelter Tips, Tricks And Strategy Guide
Much like The Sims or other games where you are required to manage a population of people and resources, Fallout Shelter requires some similar strategies that are tweaked to the particular storyline on the game. When it come down to it, the gist of the game is to expand your shelter, to accommodate more dwellers and keep those dwellers happy by making sure they are safe and have the food and resources needed for life. Here’s a few tips we’ve picked up in playing the game that will help you do just that.
Fallout Shelter Tip #1 If You Are Just Getting Started, It’s Best To Focus On Resources
Hey man, there’s been an apocalypse and your shelter is Obi-wan. While you might be tempted to usher in everyone who comes to your door to build your population, in the beginning, it’s best to focus on making sure you have the resources needed to support your vault dwellers. Instead of jumping on new unlocked rooms as they arrive (ex: Storage Room and Medbay), focus on resources like the Power Generator, Diners, and Water Treatment buildings.
Fallout Shelter Tip #2: As You Build Rooms, Put Them Close Together And Make Them Wide
As you are building your vault it’s good to always keep expansion and layout in mind. If you have similar types of rooms you are putting up, it’s best to put them next to each other. This will cause them to merge and become larger. Larger rooms hold more dwellers and reduce production time so it’s definitely a good strategy. However, there should always be care not to make rooms too large as the larger they are the more electricity they suck too.
Fallout Shelter Tip #3: Mind Your Objectives To Gain Awards, Caps And More
Fallout Shelter has a number of different objectives players should complete. Caps are needed for getting more resources and completing these objectives are a good way to gain caps. Try to complete them all and only “x” them out if they’ve got you really stuck.
Fallout Shelter Tip #4 Put Dwellers In The Best Rooms For Their Personal Strength Stats
Every Dweller has his or her particular strength stat and knowing the strengths of each is important to keeping your vault running smoothly. A character’s strength or trait may be, Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, or Luck. To find out a particular dweller’s strength, click on the top left gear icon to see that as well as the current job they are taking on. It’s best to assign your Dwellers to the building where they will be most useful. For example, a dweller with the Agility strength would be best employed in the diner where they need to move to get food to people quickly.
Fallout Shelter Tip #5: Avoid Having Empty Rooms
Rad Roachs love an empty room and can spread quickly if you don’t dealt with them. The best way to keep them away is to make sure every room has at least one Dweller in it.
Fallout Shelter Tip #6: If An Incident Occurs, Assign More Dwellers Quickly
Sure enough, anytime you’re put in charge of a group of people, something is bound to go wrong. In Fallout Shelter, these are called incidents. If an incident like a fire takes place, it’s a good idea not to flee but rather drag more dwellers into the room. The more support you have available, the quicker the incident is remedied and the less toll of overall health.
Fallout Shelter Tip #7: Upgrade the Health of Your Vault Door Early On
When you have enough bottle caps to do so, you should definitely strengthen your Vault door. Raiders are a reality in the game and if you aren’t keeping your vault secure, you can find a lot of work going down the drain. Placing your armed Dwellers near the vault entrance is also recommended.
Fallout Shelter Tip #8: Make Some Babies, But Be Responsible
So making babies is definitely something you want to do in the game to increase your population, but as in real life, make sure to do it responsibly. If you get a Dweller pregnant just keep in mind that they can’t handle disaster and once those babies are born you will need to have resources to feed them so just be prepared.
Fallout Shelter Tip #9 If You Send Your Dwellers Out To Explore, Make Sure They’re Well Equipped
Remember, there’s been an apocalypse. If you are going to send your dwellers out make sure they are properly equipped with protective gear, firearms – basically the nest weapons you’ve got because they’ll need them. They also should have a good supply of RadAway and Stimpaks. Mind the level of their health and bring them in before they get to low, or if they find loot.
