Fallout Shelter Ultracite Fever Season Begins Now!

A new Season kicks off in Fallout Shelter today! Inspired by the Appalachian wasteland of Fallout 76, the Ultracite Fever Season runs from March 4 through April 12 and features brand new challenges and rewards to spice up your Vault life.
Ultracite deposits have been discovered beneath your Vault, but you’re not the only one interested in this powerful resource. Build two new rooms – one to mine Ultracite and another to craft new Ultracite weapons – to defend your Vault against relentless waves of Scorched enemies that will attack throughout the Season.
Successfully defend your Vault and receive rewards to take back to your original vault. You can also upgrade your Season Pass to receive unique new dwellers, Ultracite weapons, and the Land of the Scorched and Ultracite Weapon Room themes. All unlocked rewards can be brought back into your main Vaults. Happy mining, Overseer!
As a reminder, these seasonal Vaults are completely separate from your normal Vault, and you’ll still be able to experience all the normal joys of Overseer life when you’re not partaking in these experiments.

Build a state-of-the-art Experimental Vault strategically positioned atop rich Ultracite deposits.
Repel an invasion from the Scorched by building and testing new Ultracite-based weaponry.
Build, mine, and craft to rise to the top of the leaderboard.
Earn badges to secure the Land of the Scorched and Ultracite Weapon Room themes.
Drill, Overseer, drill!

Fallout Shelter just added "years of content" in a major Steam update, and a season pass inspired by the Prime show
I didn't expect Fallout Shelter to cause me a minor crisis this week, but realizing that the free-to-play base builder first launched over a decade ago has terrified me. It landed on PC in 2017 as a free Steam game , and while it might not have the narrative hooks of New Vegas, t
