Whats healing speed?

[DuelShockX]

I got an animal that says it does 4x healing speed when equipped. Can anyone explain how healing speed works?

It means regeneration of health in the vault when you have enough food.
In other words - this and rad healing speed pets aren't very useful.

Chances are, raiders, ferals and deathclaws always attack dwellers in the same room in your vault first. That's where you want this pet.

[Ryuu]

But still there are far better pets for defenders and it's easier to just heal them yourself with stimpacks.
Damage reduction, +HP or attack pet for example.

[Michael M]

Sure, but those are more useful on your explorers.

If your vault defenders have room for another pet then this one can go there.

[Ryuu]

Yeah, if you don't have a better spare pet - then it's suitable for defenders. Or maybe a room which you rush a lot for objectives :)

Good point, I hadn't thought about that one, and yet I currently have the objective to put out 25 fires.
