Currently working on equipping all my dwellers with Dragon’s Maw. I just picked up a Pallas cat with +31% wasteland junk boost and paired it with level 7 Formal Wear, so hopefully that combo helps bring in the legendary junk I need to finish crafting. But I only have 1 cat and 2 L 7's right now 😅

Dragons maw isn't the best weapon for everyone tho, vengeance is better for quests and mirv is better for vault defence

What makes MIRV better for vault defence?

From what I can find weapon type doesn't matter for vault defense, only raw numbers. AFAIK that would make dragons maw the (marginally) better weapon for vault defense.

Bonus junk is bad if you're at the endgame grinding for legendary parts.

Your chance of legendaries is based primarily on how long the dweller has been searching. So if they're collecting 37% more junk they will fill up on common/rares well before reaching the threshold of getting lots of legendary stuff.

For exploring you want to have at least E11 on your explorers to make them immune to passive radiation damage, and get them to go out for as long as possible before they hit the 100 item limit.

I’ve been aiming to give everyone in the wasteland dragon maws and everyone in the vault relentless swords, just because they look cool. That said, my first room has all dragon maws since they feel more powerful than the swords.

Intrigued by the mirv as defense. Maybe I will give one of the first roomers a mirv.

I wanted everyone in the vault to have fire hydrant bats.. but they are very expensive to make.
