Forum:A lot of ammo!

Is it just me or does everybody have more ammo than they could use in a lifetime. I don't cheat or use mods and I have the following ammo:

5,500 5.56 cal 995 shotgun shells 1,000 .32 cal 3,050 micro-fusion cells 130 alien power cells 200 missiles 30 mini-nukes

Please tell me. Also, i don't have the scrounger perk or the fortune finder perk. I'm not lying, really.


 * Yea, ammo comes really easy after a while. I personally have at least 5000 of normal ammo, and 64 Mininukes. Firelance 17:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm still pretty desperate for .44 Magnum ammo most of the time.

lol. 300 hours in, My ammo count is as follows: 7289 .44 mangum 42004 MF cell 675 mini nukes 2209 .308 Just sho til you drop, nick NPC's pockets ad use laser pistol bug in sales and wait 7 days. LOL


 * I think it was a mistake to make ammo weightless. I am in the same situation, tons of ammo for guns I never use.... Hard habit to break just grabbing caps and ammo and health. Only picked one pocket in the game.

 * The problem isn't weightless ammo, per se - early on, it's always difficult to find ammo for certain weapons, and I make a habit of purchasing sniper rounds (Sniper Rifle, all variants), .44 magnum rounds (scoped .44, Lincoln's Repeater), and flamer fuel. Is it a function of the difficulty level? Shadowgm 20:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)Shadowgm


 * I'd agree it was a mistake to make ammo weightless. I'd prefer it you were limited in the amount of 'ready' weapons and ammo and meds you could carry. But I'd also give the vault dweller a zero-g backpack for holding loot in general that could only be accessed when enemies weren't close - like the quick travel option, as it's a pain having to make several trips to clear out a location of loot. But quick travelling back into a location to find the enemies have respawned can be 'interesting'. Atuan 20:42, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how everyone plays, but I play by sniping and going for head shots. So, only guns I use is in the family of the hunting rifle and sniper rifle. You can imagine finding these ammo early on isn't really easy since rarely you are facing snipers. Mostly Super Mutants uses hunting rifles, but very few raiders do. --Lord0din69 08:41, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Just Curious, but what "Laser pistol bug in sales" are you talking about?User:Brett Moan 11:25, 28 December 2008

Oh yeah Brett. You can exploit a glitch when dealing with a merchant who has a weapon you happen to have as well. It is pretty simple but I don't know what the rules are in these forums. Just look it up online. It is a shopping glitch. Sorry for being so vague. (Unsigned comment)

As for backpacks - I picked up a mod that gives you a backpack that allows 100 more carrying capacity - at the cost of 2 agility. Great trade off, and retains the balance of the game. As for ammo - well, if there's ammo you never use, it makes a great source of money, especially early on. Snicker 15:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
