Possible exploit
« on: September 05, 2017, 07:35:03 am »
Ammo is really cheap at some vendors. You can buy 12 gauge, 10mm, .44 and 5mm for just 1 cap.
So i noticed that apparently some players buy off all the ammo they can find and turn it in for the bulk order jobs.

If you buy 500 10mm bullets for 500 caps at the gun shop in the Hub and walk just across the street and turn it in, you get 500 caps rewards + Exp + random items, including a gun and ammo (i did it once and got a 10mm SMG + 120 10mm ammo)

That´s the reason why this kind of ammo is almost always out in the shops.

I can´t imagine that this is working as intended.

Edit: That might also lead to a reputation exploit:

You can buy and sell ammo for the same price. That means you could continuesly buy and sell large quantities of ammo back and forth and create large ammounts of reputation.

Economy needs to be revised. Thanks for the report. Bullets should never cost 1 cost per round.

Problem is still going on. Many vendors (not gun runners) sell ammo for 1 cap.

Ammo will be kept at 1 cap. Bulk Order jobs will be nerfed to reflect it all.

Will the recipies be adapted, too?

I imagine that no one will do the ammo bulk order jobs anymore if they get nerfed.

In order to produce 100 .44 JHP ammo, you need:

6 junk
10 mineral ore
2 metal ore

My suggestion is: take the junk out of gun poweder and put it in to the bullet recipe.
