A lot of the YT Ammo Converter videos suggest taking a Broadsider to Daily Ops and farming cannonballs, and then converting them; but this method is much more straightforward.
You are absolutely brilliant. Steel is so easy to come by. Literally three minutes through West Tech gives you about 300. I’m currently without fallout first. So I use my materials in my vendor and selling materials in a vendor is an easy way to hit 40,000. Then you gotta find something to buy. Anyway, steel is also very heavy. Wow this is great what an easy way to get to 100,000 points. Thank you.
If you wanna do the easy method just do expeditions with a friend , run around with a broadsider you don't even have to shoot every kill they get the people drop 10 cannonballs each each run gets you about 20k points in the converter
Been saying this since it was introduced lol. Also the best place to farm steel is West-Tek. Clear the top, use the elevator, clear the bottom, wash rinse repeat until you have all the guns you want. Dont forget to add scrapper to the other cards you suggested for that bonus steel so your really drowning in ammo
I hated this stupid thing until I saw this video, thank you so much. Using heavy weapons in this game is required for bosses but chews through so much ammo, so this is a life saving strat. Thanks!
Thanks for this. A: I learned where to get the converter without the crater. B: I learned how to make Railroad spikes so I've learned where I want to make another base, somewhere I can get a load of steel. C: I learned how to use my perks to maximize my ammo for the gun I plan to use and the heavy flamer fuel to boot. I played before wastelanders was added and just came back about 2 months ago, I have a lot to learn but I play this game for the friendships, not the story. I appreciate you making the learning easier 👍
SO that's how to use this??!! Thank you for that tutorial,, I have had this collecting dust for years now lol, never knowing how it worked.. Now I can get rid of the thousands of amno I don't ever use !!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
@@MrWestTek yeah I probably got over 100k in steal. I run a stealth commando build. Got some top-tier fixers. I have some other good rolls on other weapons but don't have the ammo to supply them. But I will now. I've been subscribed to your channel for years now. I love your content. This young lady got a like and subscribe from me as well.
Nice video! Thanks! You have inspired me to get my ammo converter back out. I like using my railway gun, but I have waaaay too many spikes--and other ammo that I just don't use. I think I'll do some converting: flamer fuel for sure, but fusion cells and missiles as well. Thanks! Super nice looking CAMP, by the way.
Nice, I'm going to start using this! You can also use the armco ammo construction appliance and produce 5.56 to convert into other ammo types. 5.56 is the best for that because it gives you the highest conversion rate per hour of ammo produced - 521 points per hour, trust me I nerded out on excel lol
New player here, THANKS! 🤣 I tried using this in other camps a few times but always left frustrated when I came out with low ammo, this method is amazing
For anyone that needs 2mmEMC you can go to Crevasse dam and getting the tin cans at the door (2 outside, 1 inside, 1 in the door inside) serverhopping, and repeating, it gives a ton of lead and steel, and with super duper and ammo perks (ammosmith and ammo factory) you can craft a lot 2mmEMC (after like 10 hops I get 5k rounds+), and you will have a lot of excess steel, then you can do what this guide says
Stumbled upon this channel whilst looking around for some tips and tricks (as someone with less than 100 hours) and these videos are truly great! thanks for this video in particular, now i don't have to rely on my friend for ammo crafting and giving up my materials :DD
Thank you, Im a lvl 99 heavy gunner build and was wondering how to get more flamer fuel, I was also about to throw away my 1100 steel to make room in my storage box.. gonna try this tonight, just gotta see how much gold I have so I can buy the converter... Thanks so much !
There was recently a sort of exploit in the casino expedition where you can grind inf enemies if you go for the event of helping Billy load up trucks and don't put anything into them and just kill the enemies that spawn. in that thought you could either get the ammo you want directly or farm a good ammo for conversion and stock up on points and ammo though that way is kinda tedious. I DID do it to restock on fuel once for my cremator just to test it out.
Use this method a lot when im down on lead and other stuff so i can just convert steel since is the more abundant junk on the game, can make tons and convert them easily, i just wish the converter should have a more easily navigation menu, like any other vendor but just increasing quantities manually instead of by tens, so you can select how much you want to convert at once and also that you can see how much left you have of each ammo while converting
Agree on the menu. I was using the converter a LOT before I got a decent railway rifle, and it's just so unnecessarily time consuming. No idea what Bethesda were thinking.
You get so little back. Put on 2 perks (one maxed at 3 so 4 perk points) and just craft the ammo you need. I used this method to convert 1500 spikes to about 450 ECs. Crafted 6 times that much WAY quicker. And cheaper than getting 20% unit return. Unless im missing something idk.
Thanks for this, nice and to the point. I was told there are 2 types of converters and they work differently. Im not sure how meant it though, any thoughts on that?
@@psystatic1385 You're second try worked and I was able to get it 😊 thank you so much for not giving up, the version I got was bad. You're link is way better version so thanks again 😁👍
Love the video thanks a bunch. I have so much ammo in my ammo storage box that I can convert. Never knew how to use this lol😂stay safe and blessings ma’am.
Hey how do you do this at 2:43 like scroll per thousand idek how to ask lol I've never seen it before, is that a console thing or did i just miss it the whole time?
Im surprised at the number if people claiming they were confused about the ammo converter. Seemed quite somple to me. Its basically like sellong your ammo for point that you can spend on purchasing another type of ammo.
Should note (it seems obvious, but apparently its not) - if bought with atoms, it unlocks for whole account, all characters..... if bought with gold, it only unlocks for that character
This was even better back in the day when ammo was much harder to come by. Now with everything you kill dropping more ammo then it takes to kill them, ammo really isn't a issue anymore. ( Unless your a heavy gunner who likes to spray and pray).
I wish they rolled it back when the machine would let you sell all of the chosen ammo in one transaction and telling you how much you had available to sell. Remember people, you can also sell usable ammo in your vendor at a cap or 2. Fuel, 45s and RR spikes will sell quickly.
One thing that seems to be missing from most of the videos that talk about this method is that you can't produce Ultracite ammo with the Ammo Converter.
Legendary perks give up to +5 stat and perk points you can get up to 6 legendary perks, and unyielding armor gives up to +15 on everything except endurance with a full set at low health, then some perk cards boost your special, mutations, and lastly, consumables/temp buffs such as drinks, food, chems, and special camp items each of which can be used at the same time. Well prepared players can break over 80 on select special stats.
It suprises me how many people dont use the ammo converter. Ive over 50k rounds of 5.56 using this thing. Never scrapped my steel for it though. I hate using materials to craft ammo even though im sat on over 100k steel 😂😂😂
Do I think the converter is worth it, some what. I like that I can swap out ammo I'm not using for ammo I am. What I don't like is that the fact it turns ammo into another currency of sorts. I think there should be a simple conversion process rather the points buy/sell system.
Its basic function is very useful but the way they implemented it makes about as much sense as a shoe store with a lunch special. Not wanting to list everything here one thing they could at least do is add a list of what ammo you have in the terminal having to exit and go back into your Pip-Boy every time to see what you have is a big pain in the ass. All that aside this is a very well-made video by the way.
This thing is uesless. Running 5 expeditions solo btw I went from under 1k ammo both in my Ultracite .50 cal and Holy fire and ended with 6k+ in both of them. If you have friends it makes this so much faster to do.
It's not that you get a better exchange RATE, the exchange is more efficient going for the 100x. Also, points are connected to your camp regardless of whose ammo converter you use. Even if you use a strangers machine, YOU get the points. And personally, i like missiles, mini nukes and 40mm grenades... Then there ammo box became a thing and i don't use the converter so much now .. I'll still buy your cheap explosives though. Still waiting on a grenades box though for unlimited grenade storage.
A lot of the YT Ammo Converter videos suggest taking a Broadsider to Daily Ops and farming cannonballs, and then converting them; but this method is much more straightforward.
Definitely a much simpler way of converting ammo. Daily ops can be challenging. Thanks for watching. 🥰
You can do that with me! Don't shoot anything and I'll run expeditions for you. Pick up all the ammo.
Add me! Peacauve

Way better than farming fuel cans

How you get more ammo for your flamer is daily op
There was recently a sort of exploit in the casino expedition where you can grind inf enemies if you go for the event of helping Billy load up trucks and don't put anything into them and just kill the enemies that spawn. in that thought you could either get the ammo you want directly or farm a good ammo for conversion and stock up on points and ammo though that way is kinda tedious.

Railway rifle the undisputed king of AP guns.
My bread and butter.
Couldnt agree more!
When I discovered this my quad FFR LMG thank’d me for the 70,000 rounds. May carry weight on the other hand…don’t get carried away folks.
Use this method a lot when im down on lead and other stuff so i can just convert steel since is the more abundant junk on the game, can make tons and convert them easily,

100% agree! Thanks for watching 🥰
I don't use railway spikes, at least not yet! So this is a great tip 😀 thanks!
No problem! Glad I could help! 🥰
The ammo converter is a cool addition.
Fantastic info. Made my day. ❤️🇬🇧
Glad I could help! 🥰
You get so little back. Put on 2 perks (one maxed at 3 so 4 perk points) and just craft the ammo you need.
I used this method to convert 1500 spikes to about 450 ECs.
Crafted 6 times that much WAY quicker. And cheaper than getting 20% unit return.
Unless im missing something idk.
Extremely useful video. Thanks for this.
no problem!! 🥰
Brilliant! I think I'm going to equip ammo factory and ammo smith and just max out my ammo points and then forget about ammo for a year 😆
And make sure to equip ammosmith and super duper when crafting!
Thanks a lot! Now i can sell those 100,000 Ultracite 5mm ammo someone gave me into .45/5.55mm that i actually used
Great video thanks, super helpful.
Thank you! New to the game and this saves me a lot of headache 🎉
Glad I could help! Welcome to 76! 🥰

Ammo drops so much more now really don’t need it but great video tho. Nice to see more woman playing I got my wife playing now we have so much fun
Great video. Can never have enough ammo 👍🏻

No, unfortunately, the cost doesn't go down. Thanks for watching! 🥰
I have the ammo converter I can't craft the railroad spikes how do you unlock the plan to craft them I've checked a bunch of shops cant find it

Amazing method to feed my Holy Fire on the cheap.
Simple and useful. Noice👍🏻
iam still impressed when i see level 3000 ... how do you get so high?
Great "recipe". I just do expeditions but this is great
The way i used to do is using hunting rifle when I was low lvl or Gatling gun

Did you ever figure it out?
name of the music?! Edit: for anybody who wonders, beautiful day by sharefactory productions xd
You are the MVP here, it's a catchy tune. From what I could hear in the video it reminded me a bit of Veruca Salt.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
*driving me nuts*
1000 arrows gives 7000 points
I use arrows to as a bow user it'd the easiest way to max points in ammo converter
They NEED to add a slider to this machine
Agreed! 🥰
You can get a lot of ammo during daily ops, or the pit
this is awesome, i don't have it yet, however I'm currently using an alien blaster build, :(. I use up sooo much copper.
This thing is uesless. Running 5 expeditions solo btw I went from under 1k ammo both in my Ultracite .50 cal and Holy fire and ended with 6k+ in both of them. If you have friends it makes this so much faster to do.
I only use it For the expensive fuel been playing since day 1 So I have a Insane Amount of steel I normally sell fuel for about 2 caps sells well
Best ammo farm til this day is the Expeditions in Atlantic City Casino, for every round you get 5-10 rounds
It's not that you get a better exchange RATE, the exchange is more efficient going for the 100x.
Also, points are connected to your camp regardless of whose ammo converter you use. Even if you use a strangers machine, YOU get the points.
And personally, i like missiles, mini nukes and 40mm grenades... Then there ammo box became a thing and i don't use the converter so much now .. I'll still buy your cheap explosives though.
Still waiting on a grenades box though for unlimited grenade storage.
