Tutorial: Who the hell needs money to keep going

<< < (2/2)

John Hancock:
Well, you can't really get third-tier weapons from merchants, generally speaking. People can and do sell Brotherhood Armor, good ammo and third-tier weapons when they find a trader that's full of caps, because they'll just make more later, but it's very unreliable.

You can get laser rifles and assault rifles (which may as well be third-tier weapons, for their uses) at some traders pretty reliably, but good luck finding the ammunition without crafting it. You can get 5mm in encounters, but it's not reliable. You can also get Micro Fusion Cell in encounters, I'm sure, but those are going to be tough encounters.

I'm in a gang now, and crafting and aggressive mining seem to be pretty inescapable parts of the game unless you don't mind just doing PvE with fairly crappy weapons. And yes, the gathering and crafting are getting incredibly tedious now, though I've been playing less than two weeks. IMO they both need much longer cooldowns so that you can gather and craft for a long while, then go shoot some people or creatures for a while without stopping every 20-30 mins. to go gather and craft some more.
