another good tip with the ammo converter that i learned from angryy turtle is taking a two shot broadsider like grand finale into daily ops and farming cannon balls and then using the ammo converter to turn in the cannon balls into whatever ammo you need. the drop rate for cannonballs is insane
I learned the same thing from turtle awhile back and I remember him mentioning they may be patching it as well. I wasn't sure if they patched the amount that they drop or not, but I tried going in there and I didn't have as much luck. If the drop rate is still high, it's definitely worth checking out
The drop rate for .50 balls is insane too, black powder weapons were my main weapons when I was a low level and I got a ton of ammo because you usually spend 1 .50 cal ball on low level weapons and get a ton back.
Just to add to this after meat and go the sunkin trainyard also has around 7-8 snallygasters and kidy corner cabins either has 3 snallygasters or radscorpians so you can hit those 3 spots, hop world and repeat. Bloodbug proboscis also scraps into acid so doing campfire tales and tea time events will get you acid also. For steel I would have scrapper perk equipped as it doubles the steel you get from scrapping weapons and armor. Also when I'm at or near the cap limit I buy up all the acid, lead and steel from all the bot vendors in the game. When the vendor gets over 1000 caps just sell mutated serums at 500 apiece so they dont reach there limit and you always get some caps back. Hornwright testing sight 3 also has over a dozen steel ore nodes, 7 more lead nodes and about 8-9 copper nodes to mine if you make energy ammo. Also if you grab the weights from all 3 silos, Charleston fire station, eastern regional penitentiary, green country lodge and the monorail elevator you can scrap them for more lead but you may need pack rat perk or scrap kits as you will become overweight. While this is more time consuming it may help you reset item spawns after you hit the book house and mine the lead in lucky hole mines the second time. Over all you can make enough ammo to last for weeks especially with the addition of the ammo box.
A good way to get around 50-100 acid is to go to helvatia (Where fastnauht is held) and looking the hives in the honey house and then scrapping the wax down into acid. no need to fight anything save maybe a bee swarm if one spawns.
This is the most helpful video on fallout 76 I've seen, I'm kind of starting out again after a break a bit after wastelanders came out, beat the main storyline and stopped playing at around level 70, now I will never run out of ammo thanks to this video
I had to comment just to say.. I been playing fallout 76 for a month now, and I watched a lot of videos and this is honestly one of the most well written, well explained, and well covered videos, great content!! I'm even shocked u went into acid, lead, and steal and where to find it.. def liked the video to rewatch later.. now ima take a look at other videos by u, and see if I learn anything else useful
There's a crapton of iron ore nodes in the forest south of the crashed plane and the ski shop, look along the rocks to the east from the radio tower to about the point where the assault event on the Deathclaw shows up. There's also a site just north of the Deathclaw to put down a lead extractor. If you're farming mutants for steel, they also drop gunpowder, and you might as well hit the prison yard to see if the weight sets are there. You can step into any of the nuke silos and very early on there's a weightroom with a lot of lead to be found. The training vault under the Morgantown University also has a weightroom. My main camp is on the acid pool at hemlock holes, and a Grafton monster spawns there, as well as two snallygasters sometimes. There's a lot of cave crickets in The Deep beneath Whitespring Golf Course. The event at the Airport gives at least 100 pre-war money to scrap for cloth, and can be triggered pretty much at will by interacting with the flare mortar.
for flame thrower ammo, you need to get some water coolers from the chrismas/halloween event, and the plans for cutting fluid. The steel and bone are easy to get and all that makes flame thrower juice
Excellent video. There is another way to make ammo without having to collect crafting materials, the Converted Munitions Factory. Every day before going out on the wastelands, I go there and take over the workshop. There are usually some supermutants that need killing. Then I power the machine and set what caliber I want. Then I go out on my regular game and return to the factory from time to time to collect the bullets. It gets attacked once or twice by molerats or mongrel dogs, but mostly stays running there pumping ammo while I play.
Ammo Smith + Super Duper + Chemist ( I think ) and Ammo factory. I set up my camp on a lead node and hit the fire department plus lucky hole among other places and I'm making 20k + daily of .50 cal and 5mm easy
My other way to have more ammo is to use the heaviest/the most ammo I have. Keep switching weapons, even .38 pipe weapons, or gauss or hunting rifle, burn that excess ammo (assuming you dont convert). Best exchange rate for ammo converter is railway spikes imo. you can craft it with only steel (no adhesive etc) and 300 spike gives you 1000 points ! Also some ammo is better to be crafted and some better to be redeemed from the converter. Keep your converter near full and your stash empty. Collect every thing at the end of an event, scrap and you get hundreds of steel.
Hey so I noticed something when I built a camp just outside of Helvetia, and I built a three-story house behind the candle makers Workshop across from the church on the hill. If you go into your camp after teleporting and draw your weapon and get the attention of all the scorched that live there have them follow you back to your camp. On your roof you'll put the set of turrets and missile launchers if you choose to use those. Once you have all their attention just draw your weapon and fire two shots of any one of the enemies. This will trigger your camps defenses to come online and they they will all be slaughtered by your camp and once you check their bodies you'll find a bunch of ammo that matches the weapon that you're holding. Now all you have to do is server hop and do this several times and you get a bunch of free ammo
One tip is that if you have a bunch of nuka-cade points from public events or just playing the games there, the prize terminals have some ammo. For example my build relies on .45, which with enough points you can easily get over a thousand of them.
I've found the gatling gun has a ridiculous ROI, it may not be the fastest, but it's become my primary weapon because without even trying, I'm walking around with almost 15k ammo and constantly rising. I also highly suggest converting it to a ultracite, then go to daily ops and rack up your ammo!
Thank you for the guide. Im new to fall out and man I been struggles so hard with ammo and stims. Prob because I keep pushing missions being level 20 fighting level 30
I use a Gatling gun as my main heavy weapon and have 75000 plus in my ammo stash. I craft fuel and 2mm, ammosmith is a must for 2mm, farm fuel at events and boss events. Use the converter or sell any unwanted ammo.
I’m going to try that arrow conversion. I’ve been all about 40 mm lately. Daily Ops is okay for it but it’s gotta be the right Op, right enemies, and right location to come out far ahead. And I like farming cannonballs a lot. Can usually get 400 in a fast solo run which I convert into 30 mini-nukes. As for Lucky Hole, what’s your typical haul. I think I get about 380 ore, so is that all of it? One thing though, there’s a obscured tunnel near the keypad door which holds about 40% of the total ore in the mine. It’s easy to miss, but don’t. It’s the difference between getting 240 and 380 ore.
You’re still missing a lot. I usually walk out of there with 450-500+ ore. I would just suggest making sure you look at every nook and cranny in the mine and look at the ceilings where you find ore’s and back track through tunnels because sometimes ore can be set up on a rock that makes it hidden when coming from a certain direction.
you are missing a easier and mostly long way to obtain bullets faster, my way is the mutl-approach First, buy the Raider Collectron and set it up for Ammo and Weapons - Dont worry it tends to drop Steel and Lead weapon scrap as well Second, Grab the Ammo Converter which is needed to obtain bullets that you want vs bullets you don't need Third, Max out all the Ammo Cards and make Railway Spikes (they only require Steel and tend to weigh A LOT) Fouth, Go into Daily Ops with a weapon that needs little Ammo but tends to drop a lot like a Shotgun or just use grenades with a gun you want ammo for Fifth, Finish All that Glitters mission to get the ArmCo Ammo Generator when you set the ArmCo to generate any Bullet, and the Raider Collectron to find Steel, Lead and Bullets, start a Daily Ops, when you finish you should have enough bullets to not need to do any more work for the day, if you do it completely and get a rythym you should get around 17000+ every 10 hours
Since I made a Vampire Ultracite Gatling gun with prime receiver I am amassing more ammunition than I can use from doing regular Daily Ops and Pitt expeditions. I found I don't need to manufacture any more. This works for most guns which don't fire very fast, like the mini-guns which do eat ammunition. I've also tried using an Ultracite Mini-gun with the same heavy weapons build and although it spews out an insane number of rounds I believe the Gatling Gun out-performs it. Both use 5 mm Ultracite rounds but the Gatling Gun seems more efficient and the Vampire legendary mod usually stops me from dying. Good video, thanks, but unnecessary for me.
Being a new fallout 76 player since I’m tired of starfield since they can’t fix their bugged mission where I can’t advance, I decided to try fallout years after its release. One thing I have noticed that no content creator has made this fact from the videos I watched! The ammo that spawns is basically the ammo you will be using more, which sucks if you have some weapon that has a certain type of ammo that doesn’t spawn readily available and vendors hardly sell specific ammo. So, ammo spawns mostly kills on the type of weapon you use more often. Now, I’m gun bashing just to preserve the ammo for the time being until I get ammo made by the factory setup which I’m not ready to partake.
Honestly, after doing everything in your video over some time (these are good advice btw don't get me wrong!) the most efficient and probably the best way to do ammo is just expeditions. I was constantly struggling with fuel, walked out of atlantic city with almost 3k fuel after going in with 1k.
I like to run the Atlantic city boardwalk race expedition. works like the daily op, easy to complete in about 12-13 mins solo, and i net about 1000 rounds each run for the flamethrower which uses a ton of ammo. other guns can net way more
If anyone is seeing this, I've found pitt expeditions to be extremely proficient for ammo farming, went in with a minigun and surprisingly gained 1-2k ammo, worked with a flamer and these are pretty ammo inefficient weapons IMO.
i like to grab lead when i go to valt tech school while doing to daily there. the weight room is two doors down and has quite a few weights in it that adds up to a fair amount of lead. there is also a convenient workbench in the same room as the daily takes you too
@@iKeptIt2Reall nice thing about VTU is it's a instanced interior so no chance any other players got there before you and you can reset it by resetting your pickup count as well.
**SEE BELOW FOR A DESCRIPTION ON HOW TO START "MAPPING"** I still do not understand why not a single video talking about junk/scrap/ammo farming has mentioned the use of treasure maps A.K.A "mapping". This is hands down the BEST way to farm for all junk that can be obtained by scrapping weapons/armors. Not only that, but doing this will result in a TON of plans (a good few of them are pretty rare except when mapping, so keep an eye out and stick some in your vendor!). This will also be a decent source for ammo, particularly fusion cores if that is ever a thing you have problems running out of. *WARNING: Doing this without FO1st will be extremely time consuming, as you won't have the survival tent or scrap box available* The way to do this is to get your hands on a large supply of one specific treasure map number (for instance, I prefer to use Cranberry Bog Treasure Map #1 because the location is easily accessible via fast travel AND you can put your survival tent literally right next to the treasure mound, but any map will do for farming scrap). When I say a large number, I reccomend no less than 75-100 maps. You can spam open them, so they go a bit quickly. I usually use 300-500 maps when I start a mapping session. To get maps like this, simply search through player vendors. Whenever you see someone that has thousands of Misc items in their shop, go look to see if they are maps. Maps show up under the "misc" section and only if you see a LARGE number of misc items will it likely be worth it. When you find a good one, you'll see thousands (or tens of thousands is even better) of the same type of map (same region as well as the same number). On PC, I dont reccomend spending more than 10c for cranberry bog maps (those are the highest level gear) and no more than 6-8c for the Ash Heap, and no more than 5c for any of the other regions. Once you DO find these, buy up as many of a single map as you can. Once you have the maps, go to the location of where that treasure mound is and make sure you: 1. Have as much carry weight available as possible. 2. Have the "Scrapper" perk on under Intelligence. 3. I recommend using a "Guns & Bullets #5" magazine, to increase the amount of scrap you get from weapons. Use the "Curator" perk under Luck to make this last twice as long. 4 (suggested). Equip perks to reduce all weapon weights (rifle, heavy gun, shotgun, pistol) as well as armor weight as well as have as much strength as possible. This will allow you to open more maps before having to walk to your tent to empty your loot. Here is a list of all treasure locations with descriptions on how to get to them: www.falloutbuilds.com/fo76/map/treasure-maps/ **WARNING: WATCH YOUR CARRY WEIGHT!** When you get to a carry weight where you can only crawl instead of walk or run (you'll be going very slow, you'll know what I mean) you need to go and empty instead of just continuing to open the maps. If you don't after a point, instead of picking up new items, you'll start just replacing items you already have with the new items you pick up, wasting everything that gets replaced in the process. It depends on your strength and carry weight available, but I am usually able to push it between 1800-2000 carry weight before having to unload everything. **Any PC players can simply add me either in game (IGN is GrowVIC) or on discord (username is also GrowVIC) as I always have maps for sale in my vendor. I would prefer to trade with me instead though, as using the vendor takes 10% from the seller. I have a bunch of one of the Mire treasure map numbers, which I will give out free to anyone so that you can learn what mapping is all about before spending any time or currency finding higher lvl area maps.**
Well my favorite way to get ammo is in fact crafting it. I'm "just" lvl 256 but have been playing six months so have lots of resources. I just don't farm/grind XP so my leveling is gradual. But as you say...Lucky Hole Mine a few times a week, scrapping weapons for steel (just one go at Eviction Notice gets me 500-800 steel) and Ammosmith/Ammo Factory maxed. In fact I haven't gotten Ammo Factory to 150% yet. It's at 100% and still amazing. I'll also buy .308 rounds and Fuel from player vendors when I have caps to burn. Gun powder, too. Which is often. It adds up fast. I do that because I like using the LMG and Flamer but even with ammo perk cards and Super Duper equipped I find the crafting cost high compared to other ammo types. I buy a lot more of that ammo than I craft. Otherwise having FO1st does help for storing/accumulating it, also. I've never done a Daily OPs or Expeditions. Nothing like that. Just mine for lead, scrap, top off some ammo types and gun powder at player vendors, and when I craft I craft BIG quantities. Pretty sure I'm about to take it up a notch, too. I'm starting to see how some can sell tens of thousands of rounds in their vendor, now. It just sort of happens, I suppose. Well, if you focus a bit of effort on producing ammo. I've got ammo up the wazoo and more coming. Oh...and about that acid? Nothing can beat the Fasnacht Festival location. Happens just once a year for a few weeks but if actively playing during that time the bee hives generate beeswax, not honey. Good for a rough average of 45-50 acid per location visit👌
A decent lead/steel farm is camdin park. You get about 6 can traps with roughly 9 cans each walk a way each run with roughly 67 lead and over 100 scrap dont know if the scraper perk works with cans but give it a shot. Great location for people just starting out
Easy peezy: Cards equipped: Scrapper Super duper Ammo smith Legendary: Ammo factory Loot everything after your kills. (Go to west tek every time you log in) Scrap every gun for 20 steel each. Make a shit ton of railway spikes. Take your railway spikes to the ammo converter. Get 100000 points. Buy your ammo. I don’t bother with ultracite anymore.
The morgantown airport id amazing for steel as theres loads of enemies and theres an event that spawns at the helipad that had me like 1000kg overencumbered when i finoshed
I have so much steel and so little lead. When I attempted to launch a nuke a couple times I ended up in the weight room, grabbed all the weights and traveled to camp. Probably why it took so long to finally launch a nuke.
Asking people to max out ammo factory can really mess up future builds. Legendary perks take so long to Max out and I feel like increasing damage will save you ammo in the long run and also make the entire experience more enjoyable.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the spawn points where you can just pick up exercise equipment in the form of lead weights. There are several of them scattered around the map with an excellent amount of lead just waiting for you to pick up and scrap into lead units. Of course some of them are defended by super mutants and whatnot.
The one thing that I'm noticing right now with the masknacht event is that no one seems to be running ops or expeditions and no one is launching nukes. The only teams I'm seeing are casual and event and for some reason, roleplay. I just need flux so I can get my secret cervix jetpack made.
Just watched a few vids not tested but feel like lucky hole mine with excavator and resetting the books and do few times make lead ball and do the ammo convertor
Oh Shit, Good Video Bro, I just run around and loot certain places and switch worlds, But One Thing...That Ammo Converter Sucks Soooo Bad, Shit Takes Like 20 mins of my day using it🤬 Anyway oyou got a Sub, Keep it up. 💪🏾
It's been over a year since I've had to go to lucky hole mine...umm..you missed the secret passage? Should be closer to 50 nodes of ore I had thought?( used to take multiple groups of people farming ...lol, then see how low hp n party alcohol perks affected smelting ....a Lil bit....
First of all, I do pick up everything. Because of that, I have lots of materials but if I had to get steel, I believe Grafton Steel workshop is an easy way to do it, especially for low levels. It has steel resources, lead, oil and Supermutants. Kill the super mutants, get XP, scrap their weapons with the Scrapper perk. Smelt the ore with (Chemist or SuperDuper? Or both? I can’t remember now because both perks are active when I am at a CAMP or Workshop 😅) Now repair and connect resources to power and build defenses. Extra lucky if the power plant was activated because it will provide enough free juice to power the whole place.
I'm not sure about that one. It seems to be working fine on my end. As silly as it sounds, sometimes reequipping a weapon or a perk card can fix them. There is a bug report section in Bethesda's Discord Server you could use if the problem persists.
Can’t wait until I’m at your ammo count. I just switched to bloodied crit commando from full health PA heavy and now I’m trying to find the best way to get a ton of .45 haha.
Hey I got on UA-cam and found a guy named TYR and he has a master class and how to build your characters I'm blooded dreadnoughts build heavy character and I can have my health all the way down to five point and stand against the queen directly in her face and not die so the statement in this video something about having low Health at cetera you can't do it and whatever is what he said wrong
I was personally using a legendary shotgun and I turned a profit despite constantly dying. I will say that there is a lot more ammo to be had if you can collect it before dying.
Anybody on ps5? I need ammo I’m a level 25 😂😂😂 I just came back into the game since the brotherhood of steel dlc cause I could never find any ammo or crafting stuff
The Garrahan Mining Poster is the correct one to start "Miner Miracle's" Read all the posters though! Thanks for watching folks!

The drop rate for .50 balls is insane too, black powder weapons were my main weapons when I was a low level and I got a ton of ammo because you usually spend 1 .50 cal ball on low level weapons and get a ton back.
Best way to get ammo: ask your level 7k friend for 100k ammo. Boom there u go
One of the best ways to get ammo for sure ;)
What if you don't have friends?
@@markmagician2471 You've got a friend in me! If you are on xbox, catch me on a stream and I'll hook you up
@@BakerNerdz I have PS5 man sorry
I wish I had a friend like that lmao (puts all my points in luck)
Within my first hour of playing some random high ranking dude gave me a crap ton of ammo. I love the kindness from others in this game

A good way to get around 50-100 acid is to go to helvatia (Where fastnauht is held) and looking the hives in the honey house and then scrapping the wax down into acid. no need to fight anything save maybe a bee swarm if one spawns.
I've done the same, especially if wax wasn't needed for Fastnauht.
Moonshine is good as well.
The ammo converter is nice but the interface kind of sucks.
This is the most helpful video on fallout 76 I've seen, I'm kind of starting out again after a break a bit after wastelanders came out, beat the main storyline and stopped playing at around level 70, now I will never run out of ammo thanks to this video

The ammo converter is also in the atom shop for 500
Great video with a lot of helpful info. I’ve been doing daily Ops for the plasma caster and the ammo converter for the flame thrower fuel.
There's a crapton of iron ore nodes in the forest south of the crashed plane and the ski shop, look along the rocks to the east from the radio tower to about the point where the assault event on the Deathclaw shows up. There's also a site just north of the Deathclaw to put down a lead extractor.

The fact that people like you …. Who actually put time to help us homies …. I owe you
Great video, with your recommended perks plus scrapper I came back with almost 2K steel in just 5 stops
I can absolutely advocate for any event with mole miners being a great way to farm steel along with other decent benefits
My other way to have more ammo is to use the heaviest/the most ammo I have. Keep switching weapons, even .38 pipe weapons, or gauss or hunting rifle, burn that excess ammo (assuming you dont convert).

you are missing a easier and mostly long way to obtain bullets faster, my way is the mutl-approach
First, buy the Raider Collectron and set it up for Ammo and Weapons - Dont worry it tends to drop Steel and Lead weapon scrap as well
Second, Grab the Ammo Converter which is needed to obtain bullets that you want vs bullets you don't need
Third, Max out all the Ammo Cards and make Railway Spikes (they only require Steel and tend to weigh A LOT)
Fouth, Go into Daily Ops with a weapon that needs little Ammo but tends to drop a lot like a Shotgun or just use grenades with a gun you want ammo for
Fifth, Finish All that Glitters mission to get the ArmCo Ammo Generator
when you set the ArmCo to generate any Bullet, and the Raider Collectron to find Steel, Lead and Bullets, start a Daily Ops, when you finish you should have enough bullets to not need to do any more work for the day, if you do it completely and get a rythym you should get around 17000+ every 10 hours

Being a new fallout 76 player since I’m tired of starfield since they can’t fix their bugged mission where I can’t advance, I decided to try fallout years after its release. One thing I have noticed that no content creator has made this fact from the videos I watched! The ammo that spawns is basically the ammo you will be using more, which sucks if you have some weapon that has a certain type of ammo that doesn’t spawn readily available and vendors hardly sell specific ammo. So, ammo spawns mostly kills on the type of weapon you use more often. Now, I’m gun bashing just to preserve the ammo for the time being until I get ammo made by the factory setup which I’m not ready to partake.
With Fasnacht Going on. I can just server hop and roll in the acid from those beeswax. Nothing but acid when you scrap it. I think about 96 each hop.
Honestly, after doing everything in your video over some time (these are good advice btw don't get me wrong!) the most efficient and probably the best way to do ammo is just expeditions. I was constantly struggling with fuel, walked out of atlantic city with almost 3k fuel after going in with 1k.
I like to run the Atlantic city boardwalk race expedition. works like the daily op, easy to complete in about 12-13 mins solo, and i net about 1000 rounds each run for the flamethrower which uses a ton of ammo. other guns can net way more
Do you have a guide for Flux? I collected some plants In a nuke zone but it expired
If anyone is seeing this, I've found pitt expeditions to be extremely proficient for ammo farming, went in with a minigun and surprisingly gained 1-2k ammo, worked with a flamer and these are pretty ammo inefficient weapons IMO.
i like to grab lead when i go to valt tech school while doing to daily there. the weight room is two doors down and has quite a few weights in it that adds up to a fair amount of lead. there is also a convenient workbench in the same room as the daily takes you too
Prison yard has some weights as well
@@iKeptIt2Reall nice thing about VTU is it's a instanced interior so no chance any other players got there before you and you can reset it by resetting your pickup count as well.
@@greasemonkeymechanic1 ah ok appreciate the info brother
**SEE BELOW FOR A DESCRIPTION ON HOW TO START "MAPPING"**
I still do not understand why not a single video talking about junk/scrap/ammo farming has mentioned the use of treasure maps A.K.A "mapping". This is hands down the BEST way to farm for all junk that can be obtained by scrapping weapons/armors. Not only that, but doing this will result in a TON of plans (a good few of them are pretty rare except when mapping, so keep an eye out and stick some in your vendor!).
This will also be a decent source for ammo, particularly fusion cores if that is ever a thing you have problems running out of.
*WARNING: Doing this without FO1st will be extremely time consuming, as you won't have the survival tent or scrap box available*
The way to do this is to get your hands on a large supply of one specific treasure map number (for instance, I prefer to use Cranberry Bog Treasure Map #1 because the location is easily accessible via fast travel AND you can put your survival tent literally right next to the treasure mound, but any map will do for farming scrap). When I say a large number, I reccomend no less than 75-100 maps. You can spam open them, so they go a bit quickly. I usually use 300-500 maps when I start a mapping session.
To get maps like this, simply search through player vendors. Whenever you see someone that has thousands of Misc items in their shop, go look to see if they are maps. Maps show up under the "misc" section and only if you see a LARGE number of misc items will it likely be worth it. When you find a good one, you'll see thousands (or tens of thousands is even better) of the same type of map (same region as well as the same number). On PC, I dont reccomend spending more than 10c for cranberry bog maps (those are the highest level gear) and no more than 6-8c for the Ash Heap, and no more than 5c for any of the other regions. Once you DO find these, buy up as many of a single map as you can. Once you have the maps, go to the location of where that treasure mound is and make sure you:
1. Have as much carry weight available as possible.
2. Have the "Scrapper" perk on under Intelligence.
3. I recommend using a "Guns & Bullets #5" magazine, to increase the amount of scrap you get from weapons. Use the "Curator" perk under Luck to make this last twice as long.
4 (suggested). Equip perks to reduce all weapon weights (rifle, heavy gun, shotgun, pistol) as well as armor weight as well as have as much strength as possible. This will allow you to open more maps before having to walk to your tent to empty your loot.
Here is a list of all treasure locations with descriptions on how to get to them: www.falloutbuilds.com/fo76/map/treasure-maps/
**WARNING: WATCH YOUR CARRY WEIGHT!**
When you get to a carry weight where you can only crawl instead of walk or run (you'll be going very slow, you'll know what I mean) you need to go and empty instead of just continuing to open the maps. If you don't after a point, instead of picking up new items, you'll start just replacing items you already have with the new items you pick up, wasting everything that gets replaced in the process. It depends on your strength and carry weight available, but I am usually able to push it between 1800-2000 carry weight before having to unload everything.
**Any PC players can simply add me either in game (IGN is GrowVIC) or on discord (username is also GrowVIC) as I always have maps for sale in my vendor. I would prefer to trade with me instead though, as using the vendor takes 10% from the seller. I have a bunch of one of the Mire treasure map numbers, which I will give out free to anyone so that you can learn what mapping is all about before spending any time or currency finding higher lvl area maps.**
Well my favorite way to get ammo is in fact crafting it. I'm "just" lvl 256 but have been playing six months so have lots of resources. I just don't farm/grind XP so my leveling is gradual. But as you say...Lucky Hole Mine a few times a week, scrapping weapons for steel (just one go at Eviction Notice gets me 500-800 steel) and Ammosmith/Ammo Factory maxed. In fact I haven't gotten Ammo Factory to 150% yet. It's at 100% and still amazing. I'll also buy .308 rounds and Fuel from player vendors when I have caps to burn. Gun powder, too. Which is often. It adds up fast. I do that because I like using the LMG and Flamer but even with ammo perk cards and Super Duper equipped I find the crafting cost high compared to other ammo types. I buy a lot more of that ammo than I craft.
Otherwise having FO1st does help for storing/accumulating it, also. I've never done a Daily OPs or Expeditions. Nothing like that. Just mine for lead, scrap, top off some ammo types and gun powder at player vendors, and when I craft I craft BIG quantities. Pretty sure I'm about to take it up a notch, too. I'm starting to see how some can sell tens of thousands of rounds in their vendor, now. It just sort of happens, I suppose. Well, if you focus a bit of effort on producing ammo. I've got ammo up the wazoo and more coming.
Oh...and about that acid? Nothing can beat the Fasnacht Festival location. Happens just once a year for a few weeks but if actively playing during that time the bee hives generate beeswax, not honey. Good for a rough average of 45-50 acid per location visit👌
A decent lead/steel farm is camdin park. You get about 6 can traps with roughly 9 cans each walk a way each run with roughly 67 lead and over 100 scrap dont know if the scraper perk works with cans but give it a shot. Great location for people just starting out
Broadsider to collect tons of cannonballs from daily ops. Trade at the ammo converter. I use it for unlimited nukes and 40 mm.
Easy peezy:
Cards equipped:
Scrapper
Super duper
Ammo smith
Legendary:
Ammo factory
Loot everything after your kills. (Go to west tek every time you log in)
Scrap every gun for 20 steel each.
Make a shit ton of railway spikes.
Take your railway spikes to the ammo converter. Get 100000 points. Buy your ammo.
I don’t bother with ultracite anymore.
The morgantown airport id amazing for steel as theres loads of enemies and theres an event that spawns at the helipad that had me like 1000kg overencumbered when i finoshed
I have so much steel and so little lead. When I attempted to launch a nuke a couple times I ended up in the weight room, grabbed all the weights and traveled to camp. Probably why it took so long to finally launch a nuke.
Is there an easier way to farm plasma core? It is the bane of my 76 existence keep in my ol'lady supplied with them.
Asking people to max out ammo factory can really mess up future builds. Legendary perks take so long to Max out and I feel like increasing damage will save you ammo in the long run and also make the entire experience more enjoyable.
I can see how this could be problem. Even one star of ammo factory is very helpful!
These techniques were essential to removing some of the more tedious aspects of the game, namely CONSTANTLY running out of bullets!
That’s my only problem in this game always out of .45 and ammo converter seems wack
I'm surprised you didn't mention the spawn points where you can just pick up exercise equipment in the form of lead weights. There are several of them scattered around the map with an excellent amount of lead just waiting for you to pick up and scrap into lead units. Of course some of them are defended by super mutants and whatnot.
Thank you very much for these videos appreciate you
I would like to add collect tin cans and weights. You should make a video of a weight run and a tin can run.
Thank you this is very helpful
i do events alot, i havent gotten a single flux. what am i doing wrong?
Level 15 noob loving fallout 76 tho! Thanks for the tips
Another place I go to is The Deep. It has a bunch of crickets too.
That's a great area if you love killing Communists.
The one thing that I'm noticing right now with the masknacht event is that no one seems to be running ops or expeditions and no one is launching nukes. The only teams I'm seeing are casual and event and for some reason, roleplay. I just need flux so I can get my secret cervix jetpack made.
Oddly enough i've seen alot of nukes but they keep droppn them on helvetia
It's because the scoreboard is nearly finished, i think as soon as the new one starts more people will start running them again.
0:28 THE CRONUS SCREAM.. SURPRISE MOTHER F
It's a bit of a pain, but I just use steel to mass produce railway spikes and convert them.
It amazes me how much resources non stealth builds go through, thanks for the tips my ol'lady will love this since she runs the 50 cal primary.
100% right, I am high and I did learn something. 😳😆👍💯
Just watched a few vids not tested but feel like lucky hole mine with excavator and resetting the books and do few times make lead ball and do the ammo convertor
Wow... Great information
So the fact I haven't been doing dailies is why I never have enough ammo for anything but a shotgun? The more you know.
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition 🎼
If I would run out and could not go farm supplies, I would craft railroad spikes and use the ammo converter to get other ammo. Lol
In my experiences I have gotten lead in eviction notice because the muties drop lead scrap but sometimes.
Step one find high-level friend.
Step two have friend with maxed out amo Smith make you all the amo you will ever need.
Well this helped with what I wanna use
Prison yard near Grafton yl has jas some weights as well
Cant you get the ammo converter in the atomic shop?
yes for 500 (:
im only lvl 27 but i have like 600+ shotgun shells and thats just looting bodies , i need 556, are their certain enemies that drop 556 or other ammo?
i got all the recourses to make a bunch of .45 for my fixer. i made .44 instead. 5k rounds of it
Oh Shit, Good Video Bro, I just run around and loot certain places and switch worlds, But One Thing...That Ammo Converter Sucks Soooo Bad, Shit Takes Like 20 mins of my day using it🤬 Anyway oyou got a Sub, Keep it up. 💪🏾
If I get fallout first for 1 month and than cancel it do I still have access to the ammo box?
Yes. But not to store ammo, just to take out. Same as the Scrapbox.
It's been over a year since I've had to go to lucky hole mine...umm..you missed the secret passage? Should be closer to 50 nodes of ore I had thought?( used to take multiple groups of people farming ...lol, then see how low hp n party alcohol perks affected smelting ....a Lil bit....
First of all, I do pick up everything. Because of that, I have lots of materials but if I had to get steel, I believe Grafton Steel workshop is an easy way to do it, especially for low levels.
It has steel resources, lead, oil and Supermutants.
Kill the super mutants, get XP, scrap their weapons with the Scrapper perk.
Smelt the ore with (Chemist or SuperDuper? Or both? I can’t remember now because both perks are active when I am at a CAMP or Workshop 😅)
Now repair and connect resources to power and build defenses.
Extra lucky if the power plant was activated because it will provide enough free juice to power the whole place.
Skip the reset on Lucky hole could just swap servers
Does this work with energy ammunition as well?
What about for a gattling laser? Would I get ammo for that in daily ops?
Yes
284 books in that house... found out today
I got that Nuka cola gun any way to quickly get quantum ammo
Gauss Shotgun = Infinity Ammo
How do you get legendary I’m only level 15 so am i to low level
Fire station weight room
why does the sheepsquatch ate my brother poster start miner miracles? i thought the garrahan mining co poster did
You're right! Oops
Hey Baker can you explain why my grim reaper perk won’t activate?
I'm not sure about that one. It seems to be working fine on my end. As silly as it sounds, sometimes reequipping a weapon or a perk card can fix them. There is a bug report section in Bethesda's Discord Server you could use if the problem persists.
@@BakerNerdz I’ve done this multiple times
ammo box is for fallout 1º members.
I have 233,546 of 45 Ammo and I'm only a lv 611
Can’t wait until I’m at your ammo count. I just switched to bloodied crit commando from full health PA heavy and now I’m trying to find the best way to get a ton of .45 haha.
Hey I got on UA-cam and found a guy named TYR and he has a master class and how to build your characters I'm blooded dreadnoughts build heavy character and I can have my health all the way down to five point and stand against the queen directly in her face and not die so the statement in this video something about having low Health at cetera you can't do it and whatever is what he said wrong
I don't understand how daily ops give you ammo, I lose ammo
I have like 5M ammo in total, so yea, its easy.
Melee players don't have such weaknesses.
I really don’t see how daily ops works I’ve done it a few times die constantly and use all my ammo trying to kill the enemy’s
I was personally using a legendary shotgun and I turned a profit despite constantly dying. I will say that there is a lot more ammo to be had if you can collect it before dying.
I need to find people on playstation to ammo farm with now lol that or trade apparel in exchange for ultracite fusion cells
i play on ps4. i barely see anyone in daily ops. almost never
I soloed a daily op and ran out of ammo
When will this gave get cross-platform!?
Probably never
I am low level and I join a expedition team..they kicked me out so I just play solo
Hit up main events youll get to 50 fast to where no one will bother ya
@@BakerNerdz thank you
Bruh. I’m a fixer user and even if I have over 1000 rounds I burn it all in 2 events so I’m just going with pump shotgun till I die
255 is special number for bethesda. So many glitches happen at 255.😂
Anybody on ps5? I need ammo I’m a level 25 😂😂😂 I just came back into the game since the brotherhood of steel dlc cause I could never find any ammo or crafting stuff
Just kill enemies. chances are they’ll have what you used or even double
