Template:Perk
Scrounger is a Fallout and Fallout 3 Perk.
Fallout
You can find more ammo than the normal post-holocaust survivor. This Perk will double the amount of ammo found in random encounters.
Fallout 3
You will find considerably more ammunition in containers than you normally would.
Notes
- This perk is a necessity if you intend to use any weapons that use more exotic or particularly expensive ammunition. For example, a single ammo container can occasionally yield as many as 28 missiles if you have this perk.
- While this perk helps you find more ammo all across the wasteland, one particular instance stands out: it lets you find an average of 75 more Alien Power Cells in the ammo boxes of Fort Independence.
- While there are many other ways of acquiring ammunition, players should seriously consider taking this perk when going for proper role playing (no merchant grinding, fast travel, etc.) on the highest difficulty level. With enemies able to take several times the normal amount of damage, but still supplying only the regular amount of ammo, you will need additional sources for ammo. Plus, tougher enemies can absorb most damage from smaller guns, so it's difficult to do a proper weapon rotation, and you are even more reliant on rare ammo types.
- This perk significantly increases the amount of ammunition you will find in any container.
- This perk will not affect containers in locations that were visited prior to taking the perk, as these containers are "filled" when first encountered.
- This perk appears to be broken as of patch 1.5 for the Xbox 360. Ammo in containers does not increase at all.
