The first way to protect your Vault against Attacking Raiders in Fallout Shelter is strategic room arrangement. Place Storage and Power rooms farther from the entrance. Position Living Quarters near the entrance for easier defense.

Raiders typically target the first room they encounter, so designing your Vault to have heavily defended rooms at the front can slow or damage attackers before they reach critical areas.

Raiders are strong and attack in groups, so ensure your Dwellers in Fallout Shelter are armed with high-damage weapons. Distribute these weapons evenly among the defending Dwellers, focusing on the rooms most vulnerable to invasion.

Try to use Dwellers with high Strength because they can take more hits and dish out massive amounts of damage. Place these characters in the entrance room; ensure they have the best armor and weapons in the game.

Assigning Dwellers with high Endurance and Agility to guard key rooms will boost the Vault's survival rate. Equipping these characters with high-damage weapons will further enhance your Vault’s defense during prolonged raids.

Always keep a large supply of Stimpaks on hand for raids. Raiders can inflict significant damage, and healing your defenders during combat can be crucial to winning the battle and preventing attackers from breaching your Vault.

Make sure Stimpaks are stocked in rooms where fights are most likely to occur to minimize Dweller losses.
