He will head out and gather caps, but he won’t fight off any monsters. Handy out to the wasteland, but so far it’s not been a worthwhile experience.

I was expecting him to die completely and for you to have to buy a new one when he dies, but thankfully you do get to revive him when he dies. It costs 2000 caps to repair him (steep i know), but at least it doesn’t cost real money. I’d say they will eventually release a new room that you can send Mr.Handy to in order to be repaired, but until then you cannot heal him. How can you repair him? Well, the answer is that he can’t be repaired. This is the first issue I came across with him. This sucks and is a money-making scheme to make you buy more, but unfortunately, it’s the way it is. He will not travel all around the vault to gather resources.

Mr.Handy will only gather resources in the rooms that are on the same level that you placed him on. He does this even when you are not playing the game! There is a catch to this though and this is why you need multiple of them. When a room is ready he will automatically gather the resources.

Handy will also collect resources from your vault. He isn’t particularly strong, but it’s better than nothing. The first thing you will notice is that he will help put out fires and will fight off any monsters or raiders that attack your vault. He doesn’t appear to do very much from the start, but he does come in very useful. I will explain later why multiple are useful. If you open the menu where you buy lunchboxes you will see that you can buy him or a pack of 5. It has been confirmed that this is possible, but I have not seen it happen myself. If you are very lucky you will be able to get him from a lunch box. Mr.Handy is a paid character that you must buy using real-world money. So here is everything that you need to know about Mr.Handy in Fallout Shelter. Mr.Handy is a lot more useful than he might first appear, but there is a lot to know about him that is not immediately obvious for anyone who has one. He also makes an appearance in Fallout Shelter where you can use him to help with the maintenance of your vault. Handy is the iconic robot that has been part of the Fallout series since the beginning.
