Ammo for alien blaster. : Fallout: New Vegas

i know how to get the alien blaster. i am thinking about a PC build who mainly uses one handed weapons in combat. so how to get more ammo for the AB? do the aliens spawn and just kill them to get more?

What you find the first time is what you get.

I don't think they respawn...but there is an old trick which you can "duplicate" allien energy cells.

ok, what is the trick?

not respawning makes it difficult to decide to try and get the AB. as i recall i managed to get between 100 and 150 ammo. not sure if that will be enough. anything more interesting to the wild wasteland trait thingy?

so far the brotherhood gauss rifle is strong enough except for death claws. so if i only use the AB on them, i should have enough ammo to take them all out if they don't respawn.

Here is the ironic part on Alien Energy Weapons, some of the human tech has Microbreeder cells which never run dry.

A mod may be in order to craft the ammo or convert the weapon's power supply type.

I'm not sure how but I have around 420 rounds for my alien blaster! If anyone knows how I got this I would love to know for my next game

Hmmm, must be a random drop because I only got about 190 rounds.

Scavenger Perk + high luck maybe?

first time i got the AB i got about 150 ammo. don't recall if i had the scavenger perk at that time but luck was either 5 or 6. this outing my luck is 8. when i get the scavenger perk, i will give it another try and see if it makes a difference.

That the super advanced alien tech cannot do what basic human tech does.

I checked in the GECK, there shouldn't be a way to get more than 272 APCs.

Unless you abuse an old exploit to create the ammo.
