To best prepare your Vault Dweller for exploring the Wasteland, equip a Dweller with your strongest weapon and outfit to increase their overall SPECIAL stats. Vault Dwellers can collect tons of CAPS when exploring the Wasteland for a few hours. The most efficient way of collecting CAPS behind collecting resources though, is through sending your Vault Dwellers out into the Wasteland.

You'll also earn a few caps each time one of your dwellers gains a level. LUNCHBOXES often contain cards with 100 or sometimes even 500 CAPS and Weapons and Outfits can be sold for a profit. There are several other ways to earn CAPS though. Each time one of your production rooms is collected you have a chance to gain a handful of CAPS depending on the Luck stat of the Dweller's in that particular room.


CAPS are gained through collecting resources and completing objectives.
