How to gather rifle bullets

[sandmannn]

Hi all!
I'm wondering how to obtain sniper rifle bullets.
I obtain shotgun bullets but I can't find where to have some bullets for the sniper rifle.

Will appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Sniper ammo is rare, though Ive noticed you can "force" it abit by looting ammo when full on shotgun & shiv, you should get a sniper round. A completed quest sends this issue packing, but be prepared for easy street from then on. Another trick, harpoon a sniper or the tower he's in, directly, then search for the corpse, can get a round that way as well. Search the immidiate area around the defeated sniper, may not be scrap, but there is almost always an ammo deposit or two as well.

As above, the most reliable way is looting snipers - but that's a problem because you are probably taking them out from 500m away, and there are probably other defenses around them which make them difficult to loot.

To add to BlackWater's advice, try to make a mental note when you shoot a sniper and try to remember to pull the towers down with your harpoon grapple fairly soon after, so you can loot the bodies.

But also Spoiler you can find and craft an upgrade at Jeet's Stronghold that refills all your ammo when you return to base. Once you get that, finding ammo is no longer an issue.

get the armory upgrade, its just some easy quest and u get free ammo in all fortresses

Some stronghold will give less armory, like only 5 shotgun shell and less shiv's but I think Pink eye's will give 2 more of each for extra damage. Sniper ammo is the same for all I think.

Think thats a determined by the type of ammo pouch you carry, always the first thing I upgrade, nothing I hate more than fininding ammo I can't carry.

Well I have the "Luxury" of having them all, an I can report here that not all strongholds fill those requirements. Just sayin.

it's not an issue at all. for example, you come to the stronghold with 2 remaining shells in your 4-piper, game gives you free 7 shells, Max immediately reloads shotgun, putting 2 shells into the shotgun, so you have only 5 in your belt instead of 7.

All strongholds with an armory top off your ammo. It doesn't vary based on the stronghold.

You can take out most snipers (including all snipers that are not part of a camp) by hitting them with the harpoon and dragging them out of their tower to get their loot.

If you want to save on shotgun ammo most insignias that are two high to melee break can be destroyed by dropping a lit gas can under them instead of shooting them.
