7.62 ammo. Where can I find (+ How crazy is the new profession system)

(1/3) > >>

Ymeogamaouas:
So after alot of gathering and dieing I managed to collect enough money to learn Big Guns 1 from my friends in the Brotherhood.

After some more dieing due to Junktown guards taking an issue with my sledgehammer (use on) I eventually collected enough material to make my M60! And then I go to make bullets for it.

And I cant!

Apparently Big Guns 1 Proffesion teaches you how to make a weapon... but not how to make ammo for it. Now I will refrain from posting here how I felt at the time when I realised that. Suffice to say it the cat got scared when I started yelling at the screen. Yep, you can built a complex gun that fires big bullets on automatic but god forbid you think you know how to make the bullets that go with it.

So the question is... are there any vendors that sell those? I tried Junktown and NCR but noone had them... I plan to check out Gunrunners but I wanted to ask if it will be wasted trip or not...

Aeco:
dont know about merchants selling those but 7.62mm ammunition becomes available for crafting as soon as you lern level 2 of either big guns OR small guns profession... so just learn second profession level an make them on your own ;-)

You can look for at least one minigun with ammo, from dead unity guy, and then try to burst better raiders (those with fn fal rifle). Im not sure, how it works this session, but last time, they never shot you first (there was no karma influence on them), so you can easily reach point blank and kill them.

Ymeogamaouas:
Thank you both for the advice.

I read that 7.62 is a rank 2 profession rank (which is CRAZY) but I am soloing and doing quests mostly so far so the 3000 caps required for the 2nd rank of the profession is a large amount for me. I really do find it highly crazy (and a bit unfair) that the ammo for the gun you get at rank 1 is at rank 2 but what can you do (other than mention HOW CRAZY THAT IS).

So yea, once I get the 3000 I will most likely go for rank 2. Then I will have to pray I dont get hacked to pieces trying to get advanced gunpowder...

As for the Unity/Raiders idea... I wish it was that easy... I have tagged Big guns as my combat skill and the only big gun I can use and make ammo (or buy ammo) for is the flamer... and I doubt at my low level and with a flamer I can hope to down guys with miniguns and fnfals before they make minced meat out of me...

But thanks for the advice anyway!

Same this season. I've noticed 3 types of raiders now.
Standard - guy (jackets,mauser) + chick(jacket,spear)
"Medium" - up to 6-7 raiders (greasers, FNfals, leather armors and jackets)
"heavy" - up to 7 raiders (spears, metal armors)

The "medium" ones doesn't attack you until you make first move or talk to them.
