This can be a general discussion topic for Fallout but, I actually made this as I purchased the GOTY edition (though currently no add-ons thanks to the idiot at the store) and I have a big question and will probably need more answering later too.

To help you with answers some general info, my current main quest is 'Galaxy News Radio' and I'm at Level 4. (Hopefully this helps to give you some idea of places I've unlocked/Easily can unlock)

Okay, I'm easily running out of ammo in the weapons I have so I'd like to know at the stage I am at, can I get a reliable weapon with easy-to-get ammo and if so where? D:

Good game so far but an RPG newcomer needs a little help.

Thanks. D:

Depends doesn't it as you can travel quickly?

But I'm stuck on Galaxy News Radio because I have to find a Museum but I have to go through a station to get there but there are two Super Mutants in the way and I have nothing to hit them with.

No place is coming to mind right now. Your best bet is to just try exploring, or doing some side-quests. That's what I did, and I never really had a problem with low ammo.

Super Mutants aren't hard to kill as long as you have at least an Assault Rifle. (You don't have one, do you? lol) Just use V.A.T.S mode and aim for the head.

I'll let you know if I can think of a place. It's been awhile for me.

A lot of the Super Mutants carry Assault Rifle or Hunting Rifle ammo, so if you can blow one off you should be good to take the other one out. Do you have any grenades, mines or melee weapons?

And I've recently gotten past that mission, so I assure you it's not that hard. I recently got it too and I struggled like hell with it for the first few missions but then I got used to it.

Ah, the Museum of Technology? That mission is quite... Well, hard if you have little weaponry. (I accidently skipped it by going straight from Megaton to Rivet City, so I had to go back to do it... Whoops, so it wasn't hard for me, as I was Level 18)

Best bet is to go back later, in the meantime you could try finding a suitable weapon (Chinese Assault Rifle springs to mind, but fairly hard to find early ingame.)

My favorite single player game. I bought all the add-ons and Xbox Live was nice enough to give me the premium theme for free just for being an awesome fan. yep.

BUT ANYWAYS, I had a little problem with running low on ammo when I first started playing too. Just keep searching bodies and grab everything they have. Don't drop anything, only if you really need to, because you can just sell them for caps and buy more ammo. Flak & Shrapnel are my favorite vendors for ammo next to Moira Brown of Megaton.

You also have to keep an eye out for ammo that is just lying around and for ammunition boxes. I also don't recommend using assault rifles so soon in the game because its easy to use up the ammunition for those kinds of guns really fast. Once to do dive more into the game, it won't be such a problem.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it too. I know this game like the back of my hand so if you need help... I'll just keep an eye on this thread. xD
blessed mother. 😈

Oh, man, wait till you find some plasma weapons. It's more fun turning everything into a green pile of goo.

I did use to like this game, but I have gotten bored of it recently.
I think it is the VATS targeting system which has contributed to it.

For me, it feels like I am cheating the game by using it.
Meh, I normally do just not use it, but oh well.

I will most likely play it another time and enjoy it again.
