My elf character managed to escape the burning sarcophagus and head back to my base camp. Decided to start putting together a quick turret cart to make sure I have more firepower to start peeking into towns (Which is tantamount to suicide due to 10x spawn settings).
Ran into a bunch of vehicles and salvaged the parts for it, batteries, casters, controls, a horn, a solar panel; the only thing missing was a turret. Started wandering around for a vacuutainer so I could piece together an NX-17 to mount.
Ran into a FEMA camp and honked the horn on the Guncart. Zombies came running towards the fence but couldn’t break through, making it easy to pick them off with archery. No vacuutainer, but one of the zombie soldiers dropped a Fusion rifle, the excitement lasted just until the point where I realized they used fusion packs instead of battery power now.
Picking through the remains though; netted me some 8x40 caseless rounds and an Automagnum. This thing is absolutely insane; the ammo is equivalent to a high powered rifle round in terms of damage but far exceeds it in armor piercing and recoil.
The icing on the cake is the fact that its ammo can also be handcrafted.
Chemset and Press is located on the mobile base.
Acid can be harvested via funnel.
Plastic is everywhere.
Oxidizer can be obtained from bleach, common in labs.
Lead comes as a by-product of disassembling ammo I don’t use, the powder goes into explosive bolts.
The only problem is obtaining incendiary components. That mostly comes from disassembling ammo; incendiary can also be made but it requires SUGAR, which is rare outside of cities. (And oddly uncommon even in them)
