    @Demo12345 Рік тому +65

    Here's something I haven't heard a lot of people talk about (at least not that I know of). There's a bit of an exploit in Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC where if you take the harpoon gun and modify it so it's a flechette gun, it fires more than one harpoon. The issue with this is when you're in combat every time a harpoon from the harpoon gun hits an enemy there's a chance of recovering your harpoon from your defeated opponent.
    The flechette modification makes it so you use 1 harpoon and fire multiple at once. The problem is every flechette harpoon is counted as a regular harpoon, so every harpoon that hits has a chance of being retrieved. This gets a little silly since now you have a chance of retrieving multiple harpoons for 1 shot, and I can confirm this to work (last I knew at least). So effectively you can set a harpoon gun to fire flechettes that have chances of creating more ammo out of thin air and can effectively have an infinite ammunition weapon that as long as you're not wasting your ammo will NEVER run out.
