i have to say i am really excited for this and its possibly the coolest thing on a video game ive seen in years as not only do i get to customise my play style with so many guns but i get to choose my ammo aswell its basically the only game ive seen this system in and i cant wait to try it but i was wondering what everyone else thought about this?

I'll be playing hardcoe mode everytime I will ever play New Vegas so ammo will play a big part. I plan to only carry the same caliber for my main weapon and back up weapon. Always have .22 rounds. The same caliber but different type will be welcome. It will not be like FO3 were I can have every caliber for every weapon.

Not much, I'm an Energy Weapons, Explosives and Melee character.
EW has very universal ammo, no need for a lot of it.
Explosives, I tend to use grenades and mines alot which weighs 0.5 each.
Melee, what ammo?

What if you can make custom energy cells and whatnot?

I won't use the crafting feature too much.
Not that into it.
Not that into special ammo either.

I think they took the .22 rounds out of the game.

I think 5.56 replaces ammunition for the Varmint rifle and any other .22 using gun.

The Vault still has the .22 pistol and Silenced .22 SMG. If there's another .22 rifle I'll be happy.

On another Topic

Things might have changed since but I hope it's still the same.

Ammo will be a large part of my game. I love the repair skill and plan to take full advantage of the reloading bench to make all sorts of ammo.

I think it will be pretty important seeing as I can't carry 3000 or so rounds for every gun I'll need to make ammo count and find guns with the same ammo type.

If I'm playing hardcoe mode yeah it will affect my playthrough but on my non hardcoe playthroughs I'm gonna use every type of ammo there is :flamethrower:

Why is there an option for not using ammo in your gun? That, to me, makes no sence.

As a long time RPG fan, and one who looks at Fallout as more of an RPG than an FPS, I really love crunching the numbers to optimize how well my character does in combat. Custom ammo gives me even more numbers to play with. :fallout:

I'm going sneak and I'm going to be playing more of a sniper role so every round counts, and hand loaded rounds are bound to be far superior.

You're thinking of .223, which was never in the game anyway. .22 should still be in.
