21.1

Q: How do I get Bottle and Cappy to visit my vault?

A: There is a limited time quest chain of five quests to find them (Nabbed from Nuka-World), and completing the quest chain will cause them to randomly visit your vault every once in a while whenever you're in the game. The quest chain is available even in new vaults, "limited time" refers to it eventually disappearing from your quest log if you leave it a long time. I don't know for certain how long, but have been told it requires a significant amount of waiting.

21.2

Q: What do they do when they visit?

A: They wander around in your vault randomly, making stops in rooms. Whenever they stop in a room there's a chance they'll start dancing. If you select them while they're dancing you'll get a reward. Cappy dances in almost every room and rewards caps when selected (with a very rare chance for Quantums), while Bottle dances much less frequently but can reward caps or Quantums. After a while, whether you've been selecting them or not, they'll leave. See 21.3 for the exact rewards.

For the duration of their visit they also provide a temporary +20% happiness boost to everyone in the vault. If a dweller was higher than 80% happiness before the visit (including 100%) they will return to exactly what they were before (unlike the small bonus from radio rooms).

While it was long thought that the opening of the vault door as they enter and leave could trigger deathclaws, this has been debunked. Opening the door does add to a value that increases the chances of a deathclaw attack the higher it gets, but the game specifically checks if it's a dweller or Mr. Handy opening the door, not Bottle and Cappy. More on this in 6.15.
