Fallout 3 Hints

Ammo Tips

  • 1 of 4: You can find more electron charge packs in some ammo containers, and you can kill and search sentry bots and NPCs that have gatling lasers.
  • 2 of 4: You can find four electron charge packs on the chessboard in the circular room on the top floor of tower B at SatCom Array NN-03d (location 1 on the Zone 2 Map).
  • 3 of 4: There's another one at Evergreen Mills (location 4 on the Zone 7 Map). It's on a desk in the bedroom in the SW upper-floor corner of the Foundry area.
  • 4 of 4: However, the main way to get more electron charge packs will be to buy them from weapon merchants once you're fairly high-level. The one in Rivet City (location 64 on the Zone 9 Map) is the best for this.
