Experimenting with Ultracite Ammo.

[SlowHand178]

So some good and some not so good.
1st impression: With Gauss Shotgun it sucks. With my Final word (I have 2 Final words) it is very good. Since I have a ton of Ultracite and all sorts of Stable Fux I might as well use some up. Not sure why the Gauss Shotgun does not get a boost from this ammo? The final word even showed the increase in damage in it's specs.
Thanks

Ultracite ammo is only really good vs scorched

it adds an additive +damage (iirc 30%) to them on top of all your other additives... BUT if you have a lot of additive damage (20%x3 for weapon perk, 15% bloodied mess, bloody weapon, adrenal, etc etc) it becomes fractionally better than regular ammo vs that one type of enemy

OK. Thanks-Didn't know all that. I don't plan on making a ton. figure I'll keep some for my 2nd Final word for Scorched stuff. Great info my friend!

Careful, some dude was banned for playing too much and having too much ammo on him!

Not exactly correct. He was banned because the quantities of ammo he had on him were impossibly to legitimately acquire during the amount of time he had been playing.

I'm too lazy to farm such requirement to craft ultracite ammo.

He was banned, it made big "news" in the FO76 / gaming community for a while as people made fun of bethesda... I believe he was unbanned after they realized he wasn't cheating....

I don't think anyone cares enough about this game anymore to bother banning all the current cheaters which I hear are running wild

Nah, he duped millions of ultracite ammo and got banned. Just made a fake reddit post for pity like other cheaters tend to do

Hey Folks- I have been playing for a long time. I play a lot. I am a Lone wanderer, normally in PA, x-1 JP or SS Armor JP. Even though I do NOT have that elusive 1 shot kill em dead weapon my 2 final words (one UC) and my Vampire Plasma allow me to kill Legendary Queen Beast by myself or with everyone else in a group. I join almost every GOOD event I see. Especially Scorch Beast in Nuked areas and also Fort Defiance-Work as much as possible with Rocksey and Wren. Sometimes I spend hours just searching nuke sites for High Radiation fluids to make Stable flux. It's all ion HOW YOU PLAY.
Anyway, I am legit Spent most of my Bullion on SS Armor, which I, sometimes regret. I hate the way it looks. Chinese Stealth Armor looks so much cooler, but.
Anyway, I know no one was pointing fingers but I figured I would just let you know what I do.

i did a test on a 50 cal before sticking with it
that extra damage to non scorched can be quite alot on rapid shooting guns
but i tried it on a non auto handmade and didnt seem to get that much xtra dam to non
scorched

[andrew8j4brown]

on my hand made or combat rifle prime gives 1 extra dam over there current receivers
but the differance on my other toons that use plasmas in flame setup or the likes of 50 cals and Lmg oooh you can really see it when in action

I got them both thru different quests. I am sorry but I do not remember which or when. Was a while ago though.

[Papa Shekels]

Only one final word exists, from finishing beckett's quest line. If you got another one, you either traded somebody or dropped it through an alt

I would also say Ultracite ammo is also much more efficient to craft when you have the materials and the perk cards.

I have both Ammo Factory maxed out and Ammosmith. I can craft 900 .50cal or 5mm, 240 (I think) 2mm Electromagnetic, 450ish .308 rounds, etc... and sometimes double when I have Super Duper perk card equipped.

Very efficient for weapons that use cores. 2 regular cores 1 yellow stable flux = at least 9 ultracite cores, and again 30% chance for double with Super Duper.
