Scrounger is a Fallout, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas Perk.
Fallout
You can find more ammunition than the normal post-holocaust survivor. This Perk will double the amount of ammunition found in random encounters.
Fallout 3
You will find considerably more ammunition in containers than you normally would.
Notes
- This perk is useful if you intend to use any weapons that use more exotic or particularly expensive ammunition.
- This perk will not affect killed enemy corpses or containers in locations that were visited prior to taking the perk, as these containers are filled when first encountered.
- The perk is useful on higher difficulties due to the increased durability of enemies, thus requiring more shots.
- This perk has a 75% of chance of affecting a newly-generated container's contents. Conversely, this means the perk is not guaranteed to increase the amount of ammunition in any given container. As such, if you are trying to use it with a specific container that you know of ahead of time, you should save before you enter the area with the container in question.
- Let's you find an average of 75 more alien power cells in the ammunition boxes of Fort Independence.
- To use the above-mentioned Fort Independence containers as an example: Each container has a single guaranteed alien power cell. There is then an additional 10 Power Cells which each have a 75% chance of existence; These ten are not affected by Scrounger. On top of this, there is then an additional 50 Cells, each of which has a 75% chance of being present with Scrounger, and 0% chance without. These chances are all calculated separately so it is possible (though with a vanishingly-small probability) that you would have only 1 alien power cell even with Scrounger.
- This perk seems to have no effect on stashes containing .32 cal ammunition.
Fallout: New Vegas
It is functionally identical to the Fallout 3 version of the perk, however with options of recycling ammunition its usefulness could be debated when applied to certain characters.
