The other is rad resistance in exploration only (not vault or quests). One is obvious, Damage Resistance pets, they work anywhere. There are only two cases of resistance in the game. Endurance is useless on level 50 dwellers in the vault as their max health is set at that point, unless of course they're in a room that needs it like bottlers or a crafting room. Endurance does affect health, which of course matters for vault combat, but endurance itself doesn't have a direct effect (see 4.1 for health). Q: Do outfits affect training or combat in the vault?
