Ammunition or ammo is the term used for expendable ordnance material used in charging firearms of all kinds; such as powder, balls, shot, shells, percussion caps, rockets, missiles, energy, etc. The purpose of ammunition is to project force against a selected target or area.

All ammo is weightless, so there is never a reason to avoid collecting it. Your level determines how many and which types of ammo types may appear in containers or on defeated enemies. However there are certain types of ammo that will only appear at specific locations. There is plenty of ammo scattered throughout the Commonwealth, but if you don't feel like venturing out to find more and have the caps, the nearest trader should have what you need in stock.
