Description
The .44 Round, Magnum is the rarest Small Guns ammunition found in the game (other than BBs, even rarer than the .308 Caliber Round used by the Sniper Rifle). Very few enemies carry weapons that use this ammunition, and as such it is virtually never found on bodies and must be either purchased or looted from stockpiles, where it is still uncommon.

Players who intend to make use of weapons chambered for .44 Magnum rounds would be well-behooved to take the Scrounger perk as soon as it is available. With this perk, although .44 Magnum ammunition remains less common than 10mm or .32 caliber ammunition, significant caches can be found, drastically improving the usefulness of those powerful weapons.

A much easier way to get large amounts of .44 ammo is to download The Pitt DLC and use the Ammo Press after completing Free Labor.
