Title: 5mm hex locations?
Post by: JacksSmirkingRevenge on October 22, 2010, 02:22:31 am
I've been looking for some npc's that carry 5mm but I haven't been able to find any. Can anyone give me a general area to look for some npc's that carry 5mm. I like to level and get ammo at the same time.

The Glow Robobrains have Assault rifles, that use 5mm and give 300 exp each, but be ... very very careful, them and their constant bursts, aimshots, and their damn Eyebot dogs do a HELL Of a lot of damage and crits.

Then there's Hub Patrols.  they're tough though unless they're distracted.

What about raiders? I remember before the wipe they used Aslt Rifles.

NCR spawn point has remnants and ncr army spawn. I encounter them every so often and when I do, I usually get a few fn fals, smgs, etc... maybe not the AR you're lookin for but could definitely trade for 5mm

Unity patrol near BH has assault rifles ghouls, and minigun with quite a lot of 5mm AP usually.

But the best deal with ammo would be NCR Army for 223. and 7.62., if you can deal with them.

Hub Patrol  8)

you can find them in 3 grid radius around Hub.

Easiest way i suggest would be "Prospectors" around Redding for example.
They have sledges, HR and AR. The AR guys even carry some 5mm AP.

Yeah unity patrol and BOS have the biggest amounts... but I guess for solo unity is a better option

I think some might still use ARs in certain tiles, but they mostly just use FN FALs now.

Muties with miniguns have alot 5mm AP. There're usually 1 with mini, 1 with RL and 1 with flamer. Flamer is harmless, because muties walking in RT and don't know how to run, RL-mutie will help you with mini mutie who you'll burst in point blank with anything that can do bursts, then you run to RLer and burst him, then keeping distance between flamer guy and shoot his eyes. Better don't use armor, because it won't help you anyway, only if it BA or metal mk2 vs laser rifle. But don't afraid laser rifle much, muties 1st go away from you on long distance and only then shoot, so you have enought time to burst minigunner and run to that walking away mutie and burst him too. But anyway you may take metal mk2 with you, but the most brave persons are usually in bluesuit because they don't care if they die, so you won't afraid anything. Also Hub patrols don't need to be distracted to be easy to kill, may be they are wearing CA or whatever, but they are dying with 1 eye shot from 10mm SMG, because of low HP, so I don't see a problem in killing them... But they have full clip of JHP 5mm +some 5mm AP ammo in inventory, it's not that much. Easier to burst muties with x2 BRD and high critical chance in point blank.

Try farming Enclave/BOS patrols with an unarmed crippler(in turn based). Just drop their weapon, pick it up. The guy is harmless.

the best way to farm is around redding

its easier becouse they are easy to kill and normaly they are distracted by another party

its the safest way in my opinion altought u wont get a huge ammount of ammo from this way
