Ammunition box

Ammunition boxes are found in many places in the Capital Wasteland. Some are locked, and all but a notable few contain ammunition when initially found. (Some ammunition boxes in Rivet City, specifically at Flak 'N Shrapnel's, are locked but allegedly empty.) The contents of most ammunition boxes randomize on a per-game basis.

These also seem to be safe containers; they do not respawn contents and can store any object the PC can deposit within them.

PC's with an upgraded Scrounger perk will find considerately more ammo in ammunition boxes than those without.

Once the Alien Blaster is discovered, the player may find Alien Power Cells in these boxes.
