Sooo Black Friday deals came here and saw this game for $20 (Totally not worth full price) And I decided to give this "Game of 2015" a try... It's going great so far. The quests are great, the crafting is abit messy but its progress..... buuut finding weapons and ammo is impossible. 

Soooo this game is all about shooting.... and the game gives you NO AMMO whatsoever. Like why?? Why is it so hard to find ammo in this game? when you have no ammo, anything can kill you.  I'm constantly dying because of the little cheap guns they provide for us and when they do give us guns there's NO ammo whatsoever.

This is where I'm at right now.

If I run into enemies: I die because no ammo

If I run into robots: I die because of no ammo

If I run into bugs: I die because I have no ammo

But look... I can't kill anyone because I don't have ammo, and I don't have ammo because I can't kill anyone. So I'm basically a little mouse in a Snake world.

IN FALLOUT 5 GIVE US LOTS OF AMMO.      

Oh my... xD

Uh, unless you want the achievements there are console commands for convenience. If you want those pretty megabytes of nothing, there are like a billion lockers scattered everywhere. Also, there's a refuge behind one of the houses in Sanctuary and preferably do the first Minutemen quest for a free Laser musket...

Welcome to fallout

Here's what I did. I went full charisma build. Then I built up a settlement, traded like a madman and now I got a fully stocked weapon market that gets me all the bullets I want. Plus all the settlers give me cash and purified water that I sell for more cash. I got thousands of caps, all the ammo I desire, and the best gear I can make along with a awesome house for Piper and myself. And all my settlers run around with fancy clothes from before the war.

Well isn't this quite the déjà vu.

Fallout 4 floods you with ammo. Only in the very, very early going do you have even a tiny bit of a problem with ammo, and then not really, or if you end up with a really powerful gun before your enemies are high enough level to drop that ammo type. 10mm ammo is everywhere, though.

I never had a problem. If you're doing that badly then you must be, uh ... missing a lot. Try and hit your target. That will help you save a lot of bullets.

If nothing else, it's so easy to make caps in Fallout that you can just buy ammo.

Oh, come to think of it, here is a little Fallout tip: use a pipe gun to kill the small stuff. Don't waste your good ammo on rats and bugs.

Oh my. Stay away from Fallout 3 or NV (especially New Vegas).

The terrible shortage of ammo in Fallout 4.  

Also, since I'm looking at screenshots, my last settlement.  28 settlers but they're all back in the pools.

I actually use the pipe gun ammo (.38 mm) as currency to buy better ammo, I usually end up with 1500 rounds of .38 mm after some side questing, I also sell everything I don't use. 

@ OP: You need to do more side quests, then get the local leader perk, and you're set.
