I dont understand why certain types of ammo are not craftable. Make them expensive as you see fit but please make them craftable. I'll even go as far and say that make vendors carry alot less of special ammo, encouraging people to make it on their own. This would make the ammo less accessible than it is. Right now as the game is, When you reach the strip, special ammo like hollow points and armor piercing are no problem at all. I suggest those vendors shouldnt carry more than 20 of special ammo. I just love the feel crafting your own custom rounds gives you (Yes i have hand loader but thats not enough, i want more )

Even that argument aside, If you can make nuka cola and sunset sarsaparilla, Why the hell not ammunition? To the "realism" trolls, i dont care if it breaks realism , nothing is more unrealistic than Aliens. And dont bring me loads of info about how Hollow points or armor piercing rounds are manufactured in real life so unviable in the game. I DONT GIVE A DAMN. Right now the game lets you craft so many things, its very good. I dont think being able to craft these bullets would break the game in any way.

So Obsidian, PLEASE make those rounds craftable in the next patch / DLC.

Aliens aren't impossible, infact if the universe is neverending, they're a mathematical certainty.

However, making HP rounds isnt as simple as just putting more powder in the bullet. It's not something you can just do at a reloading bench.

Youve already got hand loaded ammunition, that's enough.

Same with AP rounds, you'd probally need something to melt metal to make a new bullet all together. How it works in game is just you have extra bullets and cases and the insides, and you just switch them up.

Also thinking aliens do not exist is pretty selfish, you could say, to have the huge universe and our insignificant planet is the only one to have life.

If you read the OP, i mentioned not to give me lessons on realism... Its a bloody game.

Then what would we say if we didn't want it.

"I only like using me normal rounds of bullets and junk"

Thats what you are saying in fact.

No, we are saying that the crafting of bullets is nor practical at a reloading bench, if they had a factory like the Pitt, then why not.

With you "my OP said this" you are really only giving people one option. You can get special rounds all over the place, so no need for me to make them when I already have a good couple hundred.

So the reason you are giving is it breaks Realism? Right?

Practicality

EDIT: I realize the fallout universe and how it works, with that it isn't practical to have you magically changing the shape and sizes of bullets.

Making HP rounds would not be that difficult. Just a different mold. Besides, your character can already melt down scrap metal to make bullets. If you can do that - then you can make a HP round. Oh, and Hand Loader perk lets you craft 10MM Jacket Hollow Point rounds - which are more complex then regular HP. So, umm - no idea why you can not craft them.

Anyways - I use a mod for that. I hate merchant camping to get enough ammo.

I hate to be "that guy", but petitions are against the rules of these here forums.

Ok, we get it, your the type of person who brings an apple to their teacher every day and sits straight and always does there homework because you don't want to get spanked.

So anytime someone asks the devs to add something to the game is a petition? It's not like the guy is asking for heads to roll because he is so mad.

1. I don't bring apples to my teacher.
2. I don't need to worry about being spanked, consult your local law books.
3. The completion of homework is paramount to passing classes in high school. Well, for my Junior year I'll actually be attending college instead.
4. I do not enjoy being patronized.
:brokencomputer:

Nail hit on the head... We can do this but not that. Why?

I'm not sure, but I believe J.E. Sawyer was in charge of many of the guns implemented in game. I think I remember reading somewhere that some of the stats provided for guns were based on their real life counterparts, for example, .357 doesn't get armor piercing rounds because such rounds don't exist in real life.

Having said that, I doubt your request will be met if the idea of making such rounds is unrealistic.

Donno what the problem is. I can buy .308 AP/HP ammo 300-400 rounds at a time, twice per game week.

You know he did ask for a petition just right beside the main title of the thread. :whistling:

So what you're saying is this thread is not open for any discussion, only for people to agree with you? Nice work.

How about you hear the real reason that you can't make HP and AP? And it has nothing to do with realism, so it won't insult your tender sensibilities:

Josh didn't make those rounds available to craft because he wanted to make sure there was something we HAD to buy from the vendors. They're not in loot drops, you can't make them, you are forced to buy them. That's the story, morning glory. Like it or not.

-Gunny out.
