How to get more crossbow bolts?

[ΛƘ 420]

Is there really no other place to buy them after the Bizarre?

I must have over 200 of them after 75 hours playing. I rarely use them because I'm not convinced of their usefulness compared to the other assault weapons.

I think most of mine are coming from completing ambushes on the world map. Those give you a crazy amount of loot, and it's mostly ammunition.

I've never purchased them so I wouldn't know where to begin looking.

You get a lot of them through combat and stashes.

Doesn't your quartermaster at base start selling them eventually? Not right away, but late game?

Not so far, but I'll pay attention to Delgado.

Thanks!


PS: By the way, the way I made my crossbow work is by attaching a magazine mod so it could shoot more than once. There's a crossbow that punches like a sniper rifle. And being able to ♥♥♥♥ thrice in a row with it is awesome.

Since you started this thread I've been looking out for them.

I just noticed a bunch for sale at the bizarre, but the bizarre doesn't restock.

I'm getting heaps of them from roadside ambushes. Got about 40-50 playing today alone. I understand gamers are impatient and they will likely try to skip ambushes, but the amount of loot, ammo and experience you get from them makes it worth it.

The last ambush gave me 17 bolts.

[katzenkrimis]

32 bolts on the ambush just now.

So that makes at least 70-80 bolts playing today alone.

You'll eventually find a better gun than the ones that shoot bolts.

Hope I get that lucky some day. I've stopped using the crossbow though, because of shortage of bolts.
I'm not impatient, I'm playing this game as a completionist :)

random combat encounters on the world map usually award 10-15 in the ammo stash.

You can buy a lot here and there

One more necro about a game system (crafting) that was added after the original thread.

Patch 1.4.0 came out in May 2021.
