junk rounds

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 9:51 am

wikivault says there is a new round called the junk round, It also says that the junk round gives x 1.50 to condition.
does that mean your weapon will breakdown slower or faster?

Still better than surplus rounds at three times the decay of standard.

And junk rounds are super easy to make, the one real downer though is that they have a damage multiplier of .75, which is unfortunate.

I can live with cheap ammo that just decays my weapon a tad bit faster, but lower damage is not my thing.

Did they patch the game? These things are bugged. You can't make them at reloading benches. Are they sold by vendors?


The perk seems to be bugged. 5 cans and 1 scrap metal only make 1 round. That's 6 pounds worth of mats.

worthless perk imo...if you have hand loading, you dont need this at all, as:

hand loading lets you recover a ton of cases/hulls and the weight and utter pita factor of using 5 tin cans for 1 (!?!?) round of ammo is...well...stupid

Seriously? I just read the wiki. 1 case, 5 cans and 1 scrap. What the hell do you do, throw them at people? How do they shoot with no powder and primers?

Veteran Rangers chew on the scrap metal to make the powder. Not sure about the primers.
