Just going by size of it when compared to the room I make with same size. Ive built a large room next to the vault door so I can properly greet the raiders.

Upgrading it should allow to have 4 slots! Otherwise I see no point upgrading it. Early game caps are too precious, late game it makes no difference when theres a guard with flamer....

There reallly is no point in putting people in the Vault Door room.

Just create a stat boosting room in the room next door, and put your best fighters/weapons there.

I have a double wide restaurant next to mine so the raiders are greeted by 4 heavily armed cooks.

Plus but the Brahmin Meat Loaf will tear you up pretty good.

They run the kitchen like Steven Seagal in Under Siege

That's the first thing I had to think of when I heard "armed cooks", too!

it also feels like it should hold 4 dwellers but 2 is enough. if you manage to pull at least 2 weapons that do 15 damage or better, the raiders will never make it past the gate room.

i myself have 2 guys in the gate room, but i admit it would be better to put them in a room off to the side, near the gate room and then move them into the gate room whenever the raiders come.

i just got annoyed moving them every time.


i like the idea someone had of putting a production room off to he right with 4 guys in it, you could probably afford to give them weaker weapns that way.

It should hold as many as you want because the guards are literally doing nothing until raiders attack, so they only leech resources for most if the time.

That's exactly what I've done
