One mod, Dead Money - Junk Rounds Redux (), did change the perk to the way I expected it would after seeing the ingredient list (by yielding multiple rounds), but it also added another category of ammo. You can already convert a scrap metal to lead and you can get gunpowder and primers from breaking down other ammo types, so this perk is practically useless since the other component of the recipe, the case, is the hardest to come by.Īlthough I am using some mods, I don't want to use mods that change default game for this play through, but this perk is so useless I made an exception and looked for mods that changed it. The perk recipes basically just replace the gunpowder and primer with 5 tin cans and a scrap metal. I was considering loading a save before I leveled up and picking something else, but that would mean having to re-do everything I did from that save point, which was about an hour or so of play time. I couldn't believe I wasted a perk on this, and I quit the game out of frustration. 45-70 ammo only to be slapped in the face by disappointment when I get one measly round out of all of that. Once I acquired some tin cans, I ran to the nearest reloading bench, dropped in the ingredients hoping to finally have some. I already had scrap metal, so I continued playing and made sure to pick up tin cans when I found them. That seems like a lot of metal, so I assumed the recipe would yield multiple rounds. It still required an appropriate ammo case, 5 tin cans and a scrap metal. I ran to a reloading bench to see the recipes. When I leveled up and saw the perk, I took it thinking it would be nice to be able to make my own ammo from junk and scrap, especially the rarer types that are hard to come by. I bought all of the New Vegas DLC during a Steam sale last year, but I'm just now getting around to starting a new game with them. I have only played through the vanilla game, but not the DLC. I created this mod for my own personal use, but I decided to upload it in case anyone else wants to use it.
