I recently got this task on a new vault. I don't understand what it means. I've had dwellers explore the wasteland for a while but haven't met this objective.Am I missing something?

  • That objective might be about the possible locations like the National Guard Depot. There might be more, haven't played since quite a while.

This is a reference to the random encounters that happen to Wasteland explorers. You have to have an Overseer's office (any level) to get them. They only come up while the game is running; they will not happen once you exit. There's a morse-code-sounding noise when they come up, like a radio transmission, and the icon to either Enter or Ignore it appears below your dweller number gadget in the upper left of the user interface. You do NOT have to have built a radio station. The objective is completed once you return the explorer to the Wasteland; you don't have to wait until they come back to the Vault.

Trying to be as spoiler free as possible here:

Once your dweller has explored for a period of time (it can be from 1 minute to many many hours) then they may 'discover' something in the wastelands. This discovery (and their safe return I presume) will complete this objective.

If your dwellers aren't yet up to this challenge it maybe worth just recycling it into a different objective for the time being.

    Adding to this answer, one example of this is something like "You come across a deserted vault" and afterward you may encounter dogs, raiders, equipment, etc. The act of finding that vault (or any other location) is "discovering a location". It can happen within minutes (or even seconds) of sending your dweller out to explore.
