Now, first and foremost, the locations I listed above, where you grind the steel, these are ALL locations that can provide you a TON of gunpowder as well, as enemies who carry guns, carry gunpowder. This is the bread and butter of the meal here, folks, and something you will need a LOT of. Single handedly the most vital piece to all of this Ammo grinding. Give this place a look over if the other locations are proving a challenge. This place is GREAT for lower levels, as Scorched still carry guns to be broken down, yet these guys will hit quite a bit lighter than the other enemies will.



Super important to this grind.ĭepending on your level (I’m looking at you, level 1-40’s), you’ll want to find a location that has ARMED enemies, as actual guns (especially the big ones) can be broken down into more steel than you can mine anywhere in the game. Luckily, there’s quite a few of them, due to the fact that steel can be heavily farmed from the murdering/looting of your enemies!īefore I say ANYTHING else, equip the perk under intelligence “Scrapper.” This perk card can be acquired at the very beginning of the game, and breaks down weapons/armor into WAY more crafting resources. Ammo in Fallout 76 typically need both Lead and Steel (and a LOT of it) to craft all the ammo you need, so you need a solid location to farm it.
