Unlock Bottle and Cappy in Fallout Shelter, and discover what they do, with our guide.
As the overseer of your very own Fallout Shelter, you're faced with the overwhelming task of keeping your Vault Dwellers safe, but in order for your vault to run at maximum efficiency, you also need to keep them happy. And what better way to turn those frowns upside down than with a visit from Nuka-Cola's mascots, Bottle and Cappy?
Who knows who is inside the suits, or if these two carbonated characters are some kind of horrible new wasteland mutant. Either way, they'll bring your Vault Dwellers joy, bottlecaps, and ice-cold Nuka-Cola, for a refreshing burst of atomic energy. If you can find them, that is.
How To Unlock Bottle And Cappy As Guests
Bottle and Cappy have been kidnapped from Nuka-World, and it's up to you to save them. Soon after building the Overseer's Office, you'll see a quest called Bottlecap Blues, which is the first of five quests in the Nabbed from Nuka-World questline.
Bottlecap Blues requires your Vault Dwellers to be at least level 12 and equipped with weapons that deal at least four damage. Up to three Vault Dwellers can go on this quest. Later quests require higher levels and damage.

What Do Bottle And Cappy Do?
Unlike legendary Vault Dwellers, Bottle and Cappy will not move into your vault. Instead, they'll make irregular visits, opening your Vault Door without waiting for permission to enter and then exploring the vault freely.
While Bottle and Cappy are in your vault, all Vault Dwellers will get a temporary 20 percent boost to their happiness.
Happiness is important because it affects the rate at which your vault produces resources and how fast your Vault Dwellers complete training to improve their SPECIAL stats.
Bottle and Cappy usually split up after entering the vault, but try to keep an eye on them both. Every once in a while they'll stop exploring to dance and wave, accompanied by a special music track. Tapping on Cappy during this animation will get you a handful of bottlecaps. Tapping on Bottle will get you caps or Nuka-Cola Quantum.
