WHO THE HELL HAS A STEADY SUPPLY OF MF CELLS?

[UMBRANOX]

I have looked in the Flying Dragon and the shop on the sub in San Francisco, the NCR gun shop, and the gun shop in Reno. No microfusion cells. I also see very little energy weapons for sale. I'm about level 10, really shouldn't be in the SanFran area yet but I need car fuel and better weapons. Are shop inventories based on level or something? The only place I've seen microfusion cells for sale regularly, is from smitty in the Den. I am playing vanilla FO2. no patches.

Try checking Red 888 Guns, with Mai Da Chiang. He's the gun store owner.

The shops restock every 3-5 days, so you can keep travelling on the world map for a few days (stay inside the town circle to avoid encounters) and then return to the shop if the stuff you're looking for isn't currently on sale.

Also, I'm pretty sure that San Fran has microfusion cells for sale often. I went there pretty early too since I had so much stuff I wanted to sell and wanted to buy Power Armor from there to make things a bit easier.

Make sure you check both shopkeepers in the first area of San Fran, and both tables. The guy northeast sells armor in one table, and guns and ammo in the other. The other guy on the west usually sells healing items, chems, ammo and skillbooks.

As for the energy weapons, I'm not sure are they being sold very commonly actually, you probably only really find them by looting and from end game towns (like the San Fran mentioned earlier).
