How to get a lot of lunchboxes in Fallout Shelter
You can quickly earn a lot of lunch boxes in different ways: some of them are gameplay features, others are considered cheating, so everyone can choose the most suitable option for themselves. The following paragraphs present top 5 hacking methods box games.
Rewind time
You can force the time on your computer to advance by first disabling clock synchronization with the Internet. These actions will artificially rewind time within the game, thereby speeding up all processes. Let us describe the algorithm that will allow you to use this mechanics:
- Log in to the game and do everything you need to do - send settlers to explore the wasteland or complete quests.
- Save and close the application.
- Fast forward 24 hours on your PC.
- Launch the game again and load your last save.
- This way you will get a lot of caps and other items from the outing, and also for every seventh daily mark - one lunchbox.
This method is universal, because it even works on Android and iOS phones.
Endless training mode
The longer the shelter exists, the more difficult the tasks for which you can receive a bonus reward will become. Therefore, in a long playthrough, you cannot close missions quickly. There is a legal way to loop training mode and endlessly complete simple quests, but this can only be done when creating a new shelter:
- Start a new game.
- Continue as normal, but don't take the two tutorial quests where you need to equip a villager and sell an item (don't collect the quest reward to keep them active).
- Thus, the game algorithm will decide that training is still ongoing, so it will provide only the simplest tasks - collect 50 units of a resource or increase the level of a settler.
The specified method is the most honest among other cheating techniques for obtaining loot boxes.
Save substitution
Most fast and simple hacking for a large number of boxes is replacing your save with someone else’s, where the necessary items have already been accumulated in advance. In order not to ruin all previous saves, it is recommended to first make a backup copy of your game files. Let's briefly describe how to install a hacked save:
- Download "Ultimate Cheat Save".
- Extract the file from the downloaded archive.
- Open the directory on your computer where the saves are located - "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\FalloutShelter".
- Transfer the cheat save to an open folder.
- Launch the game and open the loaded shelter.
The hack also yields a large amount of resources, pet carriers, and a box containing Mister Helper.
Hacking a save
This method is close to the previous one in terms of the final effect, with the difference that here you can independently choose which parameters to increase and in what quantity, using your own saving. Before attempting to hack, be sure to make a duplicate save, then follow these steps:
- Go into the game and create a new shelter if there is not a single ready-made settlement.
- Open a special site to hack online saving via "Fallout Shelter - Save Editor".
- Load a file into the editor in the format "Vault.sav" - look for it at the address "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\FalloutShelter".
- Change all the necessary parameters and download the final result to your computer.
- Move and replace the hacked save to the folder that you previously opened.
If you want to get a lot of loot boxes in endgame, then this is the ideal way to unlock the remaining achievements in the rebuilt shelter.
Lunchbox mod
Download the cheat mod "Fallout Shelter modpack"to get the most advanced and multifunctional hack of the game. The program is only suitable for the Steam or BethNET version, but be sure to check the compatibility version before downloading. Let's describe how to install and configure the cheat:
- Make a backup copy of your old saves first.
- Install the downloaded plugin into the game folder, following the instructions from the file "Readme.txt".
- By default, only one cheating function will be enabled, so you will have to activate additional ones yourself.
- You can configure the mod through the file "fsloader_config.json" or inside the game on the credits screen.
- The plugin contains many different levers that allow you to farm loot boxes - choose to your taste, taking into account availability.
The specified cheat mod has the most complex setup, but at the same time provides the largest number of parameters for hacking.
