12.7 Ammuntion : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri Oct 29, 2010 11:17 pm

I cannot find any mini-.50 ammunition which I kind of need for the SMG and Pistol I just picked up out of a Bloodborne cavern. I got 25 rounds off the floor, about 15 at Mick and Ralph's, and Gun Runners/Cliff Briscoe had nothing. I sent Contreras to jail, the BoS bunker is now charred metal. Where else can I go?

Umm... the Gun Runners should have it, I believe it was added with the latest patch...

Try the 188 Trading post.

pick up the Hand Loader perk and the Scrounger perk. That'll help.

Why destroy the BoS Bunker? It's one of the best places in the game!

I blame the NCR.

The new elder wouldn't let me do it.

That's why you keep the old one! It's the best ending for the BoS.

Lol i would tell you but since you destroyed the BoS base :down:

Honestly the gun runners are youre best bet

188 Trading had 300 rounds for me so i'll be good for awhile.

That's good to hear because I would rather have the new elder, but NCR forces me to stick with the old. It's funny how the NCR isn't even willing to negotiate with the Brotherhood and Great Khans. They just jump on the 'slaughter them all' boat so quickly. Makes me wish that FotA were a major faction that I could fight for and choose over both NCR and the Legion.

*Sorry for the topic derail*

When those run low, check Contreras at Camp McCarran. Post-patch he's had 1000 rounds plus of 12.7 mm ammo at times in my games.

But what if I sent him to jail?

Then you are SOL. Contreras is sitting on a 1500+ stockpile of 12.7mm rounds, normally has 1000+ rounds of .308 ammo and can offer both at a discount. In the end the final rewards for working for him far surpass the reward for turning him in to Boyd.

Edit: Pre-Patch Contreras also had these amounts of ammo. Those still running an older version of the game because of the sniper rifle nerf are good for 12.7mm ammo.

Whoopee. I love finding out things just when I get SOL'd.

On an off-topic note, what exactly do I gain from having 8 strength to use the CZ57 Minigun? I'm at 7 strength and I don't see any problems with its handling.

You try the Khans armorer?

» Sat Oct 30, 2010 4:48 am

You can craft 12mm ammo now thanks to the patch.

» Sat Oct 30, 2010 2:16 am

You still need brass cases.

188 both the male gunrunner, and the female gun merchant.
The Khans trader.
Cliff bricoe, all have some although cliff is rarer, try hoover damn the quarter master there.

Where is the Kahn armorer? I looked around Red Rock, saw nothing. Did I miss it?

Head back down to the entrence of Red Rock, there is a ruined building on the east side right at the start of that long canyon to Red Rock.
The entrence down is a celler door on the north side of the building, unless you walk everywhere and don't fast travel it is very easy to miss the first few games.
