U4GM - How 17 Fallout 76 Weapons Can Help You Save Caps on Ammunition
When you’ve sunk enough hours into Fallout 76, you start to realize that ammunition costs can drain your Caps faster than anything else—especially if you’re constantly restocking at vendors. Fortunately, there are several weapon choices that drastically cut down on your ammo consumption or even eliminate it entirely. Here are 17 weapons and categories of weapons that smart Wastelanders rely on to stretch their ammo supply and save big.
1. The Gauss Shotgun
While it uses 2mm EC rounds, this weapon is incredibly efficient due to its massive damage output. You won’t need many shots to bring down enemies, which means fewer rounds spent overall.
2. The Gauss Minigun
Though it chews through ammo quickly, it’s energy-based and charges its damage—making each round count. Pair it with perks like Power User for better efficiency.
