Fallout Shelter Glitch Makes Your Home the Target of an Unmanned Drone Strike

Fallout Shelter continues to look like a lukewarm port to Android from iOS, with yet another glitch marring its release. This time, however, instead of corrupting the game that you spent dozens of hours and maybe even real money on when your phone shuts off while playing with no chance of accessing your data again, your home or place of residence will become the target of an air strike from the United States Government if the screen auto-rotates during gameplay. 


"We are aware of the whole drone strike thing," Fallout 4 developer Max Richardson told IGN, "But maybe if you hadn't tilted your screen too far while trying to fight off deathclaws, everything you know and love wouldn't be a crater in the ground right now."

This newest Fallout Shelter glitches comes on the heels of a similar issue that would corrupt a player's save game if their phone's battery wore out while the game was running. Having your home shelled from a drone at 50,000 feet sounds bad, not being able to access your Vault after 70 hours of gameplay is even worse.

"Look, I just want some kind of refund on the $4.99 I spent on a bunch of Mr. Handy's," said user HandyJob69 on the official Bethesda forums, "I can deal with my dead family and find a new home eventually, but I really don't have the time to birth 100 dwellers again."

How exactly the glitch happens is still unknown, as Bethesda is being cagey about its coding practices. They also refuse to answer why they have direct access to control United States Government-owned drones, yet still don't have the ability to activate cloud backup for their mobile video game. 

Bethesda is not offering any refunds or details on the number of deaths caused by the strikes, citing that they have too many resources tied up in "still trying to find a way to make the fucking Skyrim dragons stop fucking glitching through the fucking ground."
