This page lists all munitions in Fallout: New Vegas. |
|
Ammunition or ammo is the term used for expendable ordnance material used by the weapons of Fallout: New Vegas; such as powder, balls, shot, shells, percussion caps, rockets, missiles, energy, etc. The purpose of ammunition is to project force against a selected target or area.
Currently, the Pip-Boy 3000 menu displays ammunition of any given type by the combined weight of all rounds of the same type and not the weight per round.

Loading[]
To load different ammunition, go into the Pip-Boy, scroll to the "Ammunition" section and select from the list any compatible ammunition type for the currently equipped weapon. Outside of the Pip-Boy menu, pressing hotkey "2" on PC or "Up" on the Xbox or PS3 d-pad will change ammunition; this will also cause the weapon to be reloaded with the new ammunition.
Behind the scenes[]
Joshua Sawyer, Paul Fish and Mitch Ahlswede made the decision to expand on the bullet and shell casing models in Fallout: New Vegas, compared to Fallout 3's limited number of ammunition models. During development, they experienced a bug where the case would always render under the gun in V.A.T.S., which they fixed. Sawyer stated that the minor details relating to ammunition models made V.A.T.S. feel better to him personally.[1]
Bugs[]
- To correct this, you need to switch over to another weapon that is hotkeyed.
- Alternatively, you can drop all ammunition of the currently loaded type. The gun should then switch to the other ammunition type and then you can pick back up the first set of ammunition.
- Alternatively, you can unequip the weapon in the Pip-Boy, then change ammunition types.
Occasionally, when switching between types of ammunition for a gun, the loaded ammunition may become "stuck" and not allow you to switch.[verified]
- player.additem, the game may crash. This is especially evident when adding .50 MG incendiary rounds.[verified] When adding large amounts of ammunition using the console command
- Hardcore mode and you get a message that the transfer will overload them (which is correct), try reducing the amount you're giving them at once. For instance, Boone might not like you giving 200 microfusion cells to him at once, try 20 or 50 at a time. You can keep trickling them in at this reduced amount until they're all transferred. You can then proceed to transfer in different ammunition types in the same trade session, but once you exit, you'll have to take some weight off him to bring him under 220WG to "overload" him with ammunition again. Note: On the character wheel, it will still display his maximum full weight (220/220 WG) though what he's truly carrying could now be far exceeding this.[verified] When transferring ammunition to a companion in
- Vault 3, the repercussion sounds of bullets won't stop until you have exited the Vault.[verified] While using .22LR plinking ammunition in
- While using special ammo, if the magazine capacity of the weapon you're using is greater than the number of default weapon rounds you have in your inventory, you won't be able to reload past that number after fast travels and savegame loads. This usually happens when breaking down default ammo to make special ammo. The bug will persist until the number of default weapon rounds in your inventory surpasses the magazine capacity.[verified]

Joshua Sawyer: "By the way, one of the things I'm really glad we implemented... so Fallout 3 essentially had one shell casing model. And I wanna say it either only had or only used one bullet model. And Paul Fish and Mitch Olswede and I came up with making all the other models for those. And there was also a bug where, um, rendering-wise, the case would always render under the gun. So in slow-mo, when the case would eject from the gun, it always looked wrong, so we fixed that. Like, little minor things, but making all the cases correct and all the bullets correct, um... I think made all the slow-mo VATS stuff just feel better to me personally."
