can you tell me where can i find this rifle? which places?

[KruskDaMangled]

Gank city patrols in a area you don't care if you can't travel in or go in the city anymore.

Unity Patrols near BH have NPC's with Assault Rifles. IIRC, the African American Miners near Redding sometimes have Assault Rifles. Sometimes they have sledgehammers, but not always.

best place for assault rifles is gecko reactor. Ghouls have them at 0% completely new, while in random encounters these are in very poor condition. Also these ghouls have just about 60 hp each, so they are really weak targets. For killing all them in reactor you receive like 7-8 assault rifles (2550 caps each), 3 10mm smgs, and 2 shotguns, and 1 10mm pistol :>

Encounter bootleggers and "the gang" anywhere between Reno and Den. Note this will not ever be 0%det, and you'll need some force (here: FS + BROF +2x AB + P90C + JHP) to sage incoming units so that they'd deal no damage to you. Good thing is that you will also find combat shotguns which can sell on average for $1400 to compensate your efforts.

you could just get SG 2 and fucking build them

PvE is much more entertaining than going to a mine, then click-click-clicking to make metal parts, then click-click-clicking again to mine more ore at the mine, then click-click-clicking again to go back and finally make one gun.
(Not to mention taking the time to repeat the process at an HQ mine for the HQ materials.)

Gang encounters don't have Assault Rifles, I'm pretty sure.

why should i craft if i can loot? why should we live in peace on wasteland? kill everything gets on your way, always get what you need, loot everything and get rich.

You just HAD to blurt that out to EVERYONE to see on forum didn't you?  Watch, the ghouls will be removed within a few days.

>:C

Oh well...  It couldn't be kept secret forever.

Dude everyone knew bout gecko, but it's not a general character area, well unless you're like uber lucky.  But yeah Crafting isn't a bad option except it is harder than getting them from drops.  Also if you don't care about Hub rep, the patrols drop them.  Might get real lucky near Necropolis and Hub to get an encounter with TON's of ghouls and a few patrol's and wait to loot the remains.  But don't hold your breath.

Yes everyone knew about it, yet until vedaras spilled the beans the ghouls remained, now they're gone.   (Yeah I just went to look, it would seem I spoke too late).  Now only a shotgun and a 10mm pistol, three spike knuckles, and some knife ghouls remain.

Gang encounters don't have Assault Rifles, I'm pretty sure.

Anybody and one friend can make an FN FAL in one trip. Anyone alone can make an Assault Rifle in about thirty minutes and with a friend they can make two a trip. Yeah, it's boring, but you get the reward of having made it with the bonus that you don't get a wasteland gun with six broken-count and 70% Deterioration.

I guess it's just efficiency vs. fun. Or rather, what one perceives as fun.

Dude what are you doing here? You miss the concept of beta testing, you are supposed to report such things, not keep in secret and hope noone else finds out.
ANYTHING that gives you suspiciously large pile of good items in very easy, repeatable way.

You can also go halfway by upgrading busted ass assault rifles you find into extended mag ones, and get a fresh gun, with a bigger magazine in the bargain.

As it stands, the resources are often spent on guns that are inconvenient to get in encounters, or almost impossible or on your TC viable armors.

If it suddenly became relatively difficult to craft the combat armors, it might change the dynamic, although it's hard to tell just how.

We can't say how it will play out until whenever we see a revamped crafting and combat system like's been talked about a bit.

The broken count for such a weapon doesn't change.
So although it may looks like a new gun it isn't.
It will deteriorate a lot faster, sometimes 1% per shot.
Try selling it to a trader, you'll see the price is less than for an upgraded crafted assault rifle.
