Ammo Press

The Ammo Press is a machine that can be used to create ammunition after completion of the quest Free Labor, with access given by either Werhner or Ashur. Located overlooking The Hole, the Ammo Press consists of a terminal used to operate the machine and a materials box where ammunition or scrap metal is placed. The amount of ammo you receive depends on how much ammo/scrap metal you put in, a random dice roll, and your Luck level.

Any variety of conventional ammunition can be placed in the materials box, from 5mm Round ammunition to .44 Magnum. Once placed in the materials box, the ammunition inside can be melted down and re-shaped by the ammo press into any other variety of conventional ammunition by the terminal.

The ammo press makes outdated ammunition from the early game (10mm or .32 caliber, for example) into more useful ammunition used later in the game. It also makes ammunition not commonly used (for example, 5mm rounds not used by a Small Guns character) somewhat more useful than simply selling it. Unfortunately, the press is unable to create any energy weapon ammunition.

In order to make ammunition, unused ammo or scrap metal must be loaded into the materials bin. The bin is a rectangular green box located at the front of press that is closest to the Ammo Mill Terminal. Once loaded, return to the computer to select the desired ammunition. After making your selection, return to the bin and retrieve your new ammo.
