The world of Fallout 4 is full of dangers - some of them you have to escape only with the help of weapons. But, just like in the real world, the number of rounds your shotgun, pistol (and the list goes on) fires is not at all infinite. And the moment comes when another monster inexorably approaches you, and, alas, there is nothing to shoot at it with. What to do then?

There is a solution - find or create ammo in Fallout 4!

Fallout 4: cartridges and their types

Let's start first with what weapons are in the game and what ammo they use.

So, the first pistol that the Survivor gets is the “Savior” - this is a semi-automatic pistol with a smooth barrel that uses 10 mm cartridges, id 0001f276.

10 mm cartridges are quite good cartridges in terms of power level for two types of pistols: the “savior” and the 10 mm pistol. This ammunition is very common throughout the Commonwealth, and obtaining it is usually not difficult. The cartridge case is made of metal, its muzzle is not compressed, the flange protrudes. It is best used against targets that are not very well protected by armor.

For pistols with a smooth barrel, as well as for various carbines, cartridges are needed.38.(0004ce87).

The assault carbine in Fallout 4 requires a 5.56mm cartridge (0001f278).

Another type of ammunition that is often found is ammo for shotguns with two barrels or for combat shotgun. It is made up of a cartridge case made of cardboard or plastic, filled with gunpowder, a wad and very large shot. Some hermetic composition (0001f673) is poured over it.

The .44 cartridges are suitable for a 44 mm pistol, they have a class level of “magnum”, and are intended for firing at lightly armored targets. The recoil of the pistol that fires these cartridges is very strong, and the weapon itself is a bit heavy for one hand - so there are not so many cartridges (id 0009221c).

You will need the .45 caliber cartridge if you are shooting with a carbine, machine gun, or Warden. 0001f66a.

The 5mm cartridge is suitable for the Incinerator and Minigun. In Fallout 4, the id of this type of cartridge is: 0001f66c.

The Nuclear Battery is good if you want to shoot the Institute's carbine or pistol, musket, pistol, and rifle (all three weapons fire a laser beam. Id 000c1897.

A nuclear unit can also be called a certain type of ammunition. It is used as a fuel source for armor. If you don't use it, the armor becomes less mobile, and sometimes it can be used as a grenade. In addition, a nuclear unit is required for the Gatling laser (000e6b2e).

The Plasma Charge is designed for the pistol and carbine, which fire plasma, as well as the 18-A experimental weapon and the Guardian's Plasmamaster. ID 0001dbb7.

7.62 ammo in Fallout 4 is designed for various homemade carbines.

For the gamma ray gun, Lorenzo's gun, and the zetta gun, you'll need gamma ray ammo. In Fallout 4, the id of these cartridges is 000df279.

The cryogenic charge is used in the cryolator, its ID is 0018abe2.

If you like cannons, stock up on cannonballs for them. Their ID is 000fd11c.

The electromagnetic cartridge is intended for the Gaus and Last Minute carbine. It can only be used in railguns. ID 0018abdf.

You can also find a rocket for installations. Her ID: 000caba3.

For the flamethrower you will need fuel: 000cac78.

For extraterrestrial pistol and alien blasters need cartridge: 001025aa.

Ammunition in Fallout 4 also includes a syringe, a railroad nail, a harpoon - after all, all of this is used as projectiles for certain types of weapons.

There is also a special mod for crafting ammo in Fallout 4.

It's called FALLOUT 4 CRAFTABLE AMMO V0.9. This mod has everything you need to create ammo, so necessary in the process of passing Fallout 4. To do this, you just need to find a chemical laboratory. There are 4 different mods in the modification archive. They provide a different number of those cartridges that you create during the crafting process. You can create ten, twenty-five, fifty and one hundred rounds at a time.

Ammo for unique weapons can be created in the chemical laboratory.

For the creation process to be successful, you need to stock up on a sufficient amount of copper, lead, acid and fabric. And to add your mod to the game, you need to find plugins.txt in the game Data folder. then add a new line where you will write the name of the required mod (add the text immediately under the words Fallout4.esm).

Have fun crafting!

Ammo in Fallout 4 is something you can't survive without. At the same time, they are becoming very rare in a post-apocalyptic world. You'll have to look for where the ammo in Fallout 4 hasn't been taken yet. Or shell out a tidy sum for them.

Where to get ammo in Fallout 4

There are several ways to get ammo in Fallout 4:

1. Find them in various containers and boxes. Ammunition is lying around the world, despite the total shortage. Just search. Some species can only lie in specific places.
2. Remove from an enemy's corpse. As a rule, opponents carry ammunition for the weapon they tried to kill you with. Sometimes - additional bullets from other guns.
3. Buy from Fallout merchants The further a merchant is in the story, the more likely he is to have rarer and higher-quality options. Some of the ammunition can only be purchased from certain merchants.
4. Create it yourself on the workbench. To do this, you will need a workbench and the necessary components from the trash. Collecting them is not that difficult.
5. Receive as a reward for Fallout quests. For example, a nuclear battery will be given after completing the “Cleanup” quest.

As a rule, on easy difficulty levels of Fallout 4, merchants will be the main source of ammo for common weapons. Yes, it is expensive, but it is effective - someone will definitely have the necessary ammunition. At more difficult levels, it is easier to craft ammo yourself and remove it from the corpses of defeated enemies.

List of ammo IDs in Fallout 4

If you are frankly too lazy to search for it yourself or spend money on purchasing it, you can “cheat.” For this, there is a special code that must be entered into the console (opened by clicking on [~]):

player.additem ID #

Let's decipher:

• additem– command to add an item. Absolutely anyone;
• ID– address of the ammunition to be received;
• # - quantity.

This will allow you to get cartridges without buying them and without wasting time on long searches in various places. Let's say to get 657 bullets for a minigun, you need to enter the following code:

player.additem 0001f66c 657

You must enter one of the following IDs in this code in place of the corresponding value.
