What is the purpose of ammo boxes?

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

 

You've got it right i'm pretty sure. It took me a long time and a bunch of questions to figure this out.

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.

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 2

they are cheaper

the weight is fewer

they 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

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...
