SpellAndShield Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 For example, 'small energy cell box, bulk'; what does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDestination Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm not sure 100% if we are thinking about the right thing but if we are you have to drop them then pick them up again and they will turn into powder or the energy cell equivalent. They are used for crafting. Sorry for being so confusing and I might be talking about something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are used for crafting. Sorry for being so confusing and I might be talking about something different You've got it right i'm pretty sure. It took me a long time and a bunch of questions to figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDestination Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yeah there should really be a mini tutorial when you buy/pick up those items for the first time stating how you use them correctly It was basically left up to us to figure out you have to drop then pick up again to make them into craftable items.. which took a while for people to do because it makes no sense really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSeanson Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I talked to Chet, in Goodsprings Supply and he does a small job of explaining Bulk Ammo. Just remember that cheap ammo causes weapons to degrade faster due to the cheapness of the item. As with the Buy and Drop fix on the Bulk ammo I have chalked this up to a bug , cause like so many others I simply got tired of carrying bulk items and not knowing how to use so i just dropped them into a container and used Breakdown for a much better result.

FlashXAron Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 do bulk/boxed items in hardcore mode weigh less than the same items broken up?? remember in hardcore ammo has weight I am playing hardcore/normal you could use them, when you equip them direct in the ammo directory (problem is it reset itself very often) and they couldn't be changed with key 2they are cheaperthe weight is fewerthey ruin your weapon fewer but also do fewer damage (depends of typ) okay haven't known that I could drop them and pick them up as normal ... that is cheating , for sure it is a bug ...what should be changed is, that they could be used with key 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpellAndShield Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Bulk ammo I have discovered is great for weapons that are already quite powerful and use multi rounds (plasma defender, multiplas, prototype gauge, etc.) and you conserve your regular ammo for your more basic weapons such as your scoped laser rifle...
