minigun ammo

[Washout]

I havent found one peice 5mm ammo in outside of a minigun.
Are they fire and forget or can they be reloaded ?

[HellBringer]

I haven't found any either, but you can do a player.additem 0001F66C 10000 to get some rounds :)

the hell kind of contribution is that? you have over 1k? you mean you picked it up and didn't use it from the helicopter or did you find it elsewhere? or did you just do the 10 year old thing and cheat using the console?

to answer the posts question, i have found a few rounds here and there, never more then like 5 or 6 at a time and very few and far between. ive maybe found a total of 25 5mm rounds, and that's checking both diamond city and goodneighbor. im not terribly far into the game, but im hoping it starts showing up soon. mini-gun is great for big encounters.

I've collected a good 1k since the initial Deathclaw encounter. One spot is the satellite area east of Sactuary and the car wreck yard. A raider in the basement is equipped with a minigun which you can loot and of course its ammo.

The minigun is much like power armor, dont expect to use it all the time, bring it out for the big tough opponents. Turrets drop minigun ammo frequently and you can find it randomly in ammo boxes and containers.

Stock pile it up, use it sparcly, it'll start droping more later in the game and you can buy plenty.

You'll either find it in shops or on the corpses of people also using miniguns. Don't expect to see loads of it, you'll never get a huge stockpile because of how fast it eats through ammo.

other than looting it off enemy that is using minigun I think this is the main source of 5mm ammo, in one of my games i just randomly checked and i had like 2.5k 5mm ammo xD, just cuz i never used the minigun and killed a lot of turrets

it was at this time i had to whip out the minigun and power armor to go take care of busines which is why i noticed that

[The Infamous Cloaker]

I've got like 2-3 k cause I've not used it that much

[ihateshaman]

There is 5mm littered everywhere across the wasteland. Open your eyes.

Yes, I too have over 1000 rounds. Probably about 1700. Whatever was left from the deathclaw encounter and whatever I found. I also have two miniguns (I haven't bothered to mod either of them, and was surprised I could use it normally without the armor considering the dialogue surrounding the use of the minigun when you first get it).

That said, I have not used the minigun much either. It was pretty inaccurate and I've upgraded my other weapons and armor instead and chosen not to use them. Who knows, maybe something big will need an application of a Serious Sam style of bullet spraying, and like Pip Boy, I'll be there and prepared!

Otherwise I will be asking where to find the ammo after killing puppies when I could have used a wooden board instead.

with the perk you find it everywhere that and .50, most of it from raiders/mutans and in there area's.

I took scrounger for my second character, and and have 2500 rounds wthout ever having to buy or look for them specifically. Over 1k .50 too despite using it in my (a lucky find) sniper rifle and as a second currency!
Can also be bought from Arturo and Myrna in Diamond city both sell decent quntites
