Fallout Shelter: Mr. Handy Brings New Life to the Game

The latest addition to Fallout Shelter, Mr. Handy, has brought a refreshing new twist to the game. At first glance, it seemed like just another item to try and unlock, but it has turned out to be so much more. As it turns out, pets in the game are not just cosmetic; they're actually 'modifier' slots for your dweller, giving them helpful bonuses like 3x healing speed or 5x return from the wasteland speed.

Not only can you buy Mr. Handy as a microtransaction, but the game will also give you a few here and there. This is a godsend for maintaining consistency in your vault, ensuring that your crops don't die off due to neglect. With Mr. Handy's ability to auto-collect resources on a specific floor or roam the wasteland looking for caps without risk of being killed, managing your vault has become much easier.

The new additions to Fallout Shelter have breathed new life into the game. Gone are the days of simply clicking to collect resources, rushing rooms that was as exciting as flipping a coin, and sending dwellers on non-interactive quests. Now, there's so much more to do in the game. On PC, it's a different story altogether.

I previously stopped playing Fallout Shelter due to its lackluster gameplay on mobile, but with the new additions, I'm tempted to give it another shot. It's not as demanding as Overwatch or as monotonous as Clicker Heroes. Instead, I can simply have it running in the background while I work and check it from time to time, doing an activity or two before heading back to my desk.

Overall, Fallout Shelter has evolved into a much more compelling game with Mr. Handy's addition. As a PC title, it works even better than its mobile counterpart, freeing me from the constant need to check my phone every few seconds. If you're like me and stopped playing Fallout Shelter due to its limited gameplay on mobile, now might be the perfect time to give it another try.
