Revision as of 04:04, 14 April 2016 by 67.45.113.142(contribs)(Added that mini nukes spawns are increased with this. I went from rarely finding them to finding four at a time in a ammo box and refilling ammo on last shot in mags.)
You can find more ammunition than the normal post-apocalyptic 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 will not affect killed enemies or containers in locations that were visited prior to taking the perk, as these containers are filled when first encountered.
In most cases, this perk will double the maximum amount of randomly generated ammunition available in newly encountered containers. Each new ammo item has the same 75% chance of spawning as the original ammo leveled lists.
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.
Notes
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.
In most cases, this perk will double the maximum amount of randomly generated ammunition available in newly encountered containers. Each new ammo item has the same 75% chance of spawning as the original ammo leveled lists.
Fallout 4
“You find more ammunition in containers.”— Rank 1 description
There is a chance to gain ammo when firing the last round in your clip.

Allows certain types of ammunition to be found in random containers such as cabinets, desks, metal cabinets, etc. It works similar to the Fortune Finder perk. If both Scrounger and the Fortune Finder perk are obtained you will find both ammunition and caps in the same containers. If you are the type of player to search extensively through the locations you visit then this perk will be a wise investment.
Notes
This version of the perk also applies to enemies as well as containers (unlike in previous games).
As Fallout 4 does not have the ability to create ammunition, this perk can be very helpful in obtaining ammunition without having to purchase it.
This perk only affects the following ammunition types. Any ammunition type not listed here is currently unaffected by this perk:
