The missile is a Big Guns ammunition found in Fallout 3. This type of ammunition is only used with the missile launcher and its unique variants.

Characteristics[]

Missiles are hard to come by as the majority of such ammunition is found by killing enemies that utilize the missile launcher. These enemies are limited to super mutants, higher-leveled Talon Company mercs, raiders, and some wastelanders. Even though these are common enemies, few members of such groups carry a missile launcher at low levels (level 2-14).

  • Sometimes, the player can randomly find missiles on enemies that do not use a missile launcher.
  • A player can find more missiles in ammunition containers with the Scrounger Perk. Combined with high Luck, there have been cases of players finding over 30 missiles in one container.
