and i cant find gyms that have weights so i can get lead to make 45 mm ammo and i googled till im not trying no more. i mean seriously i need ammo cause im always broke buying from people or vendors at stations that are a bit to much

The best way to get a lot of lead in Fallout 76 is to go to the gym inside the Charleston Fire Department. Loot all the weights, dumbbells, and barbells contained within and scrap them at a workbench. Switch servers and repeat as necessary. A full spawn will net eighty plus lead.

I stumbled on my first ammo makers at someone's camp, they had about 8 of them in a row and I got about 70 10mm rounds from each one, the prospect of building such wondrous creations at my own camp was quickly dulled when I found out the plan for them costs 750 gold bullion :frown:

Still gold bullion has gone from an interesting-but-useless find to something I now need 700 more of. Though I'll likely have millions of bullion by the time I become an ally of the Raiders :doublefrown:

wouldnt it be kool if you could go to your vendor station
tag lead for purchase and then place caps in vendor stash
then people could bring lead to you instead. ^_^

same way we can tag lead for search


but to actually contribute to the subject

in my experience, i get more lead from simply taking a workshop and then setup whatever resource extractor i need.

you can complete your daily's tasks at the same time as well.
"events, slaying, crafting *new* camp pieces, kill other player" etc

but of course completing the events requires the enemies to be killed.
thus a bare minimum of ammo is required
however my secret tactic is to setup turrets /base defense and allow those to do the killing for me.

E.G
if you only want lead then junkyards in forest region would be most simple

1) Poseidon Energy Plant Yard (has lead node nearby)
but frequently "contested/grief" because of its location.

2) Lakeside Cabins

3) one junk and lead workshop -> Converted Munitions Factory (Savage Divide)

another alternative is to build your base upon a lead node > without the workshop.

you wont have to worry about killing enemies during the events and passively extract enough for what you need,
paired with ANY of the previous suggestions you should have an abundance of lead at all times.
