Case, .45 Auto

Case, .45 Auto is a crafting component that appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
This item is used as a component to create .45 Auto ammunition on the workbench along with some lead, a large pistol primer and pistol powder.

Locations

 * 2 to 6 casing can be found on the dead body of an enemy that was wielding a .45 Auto pistol or a .45 Auto submachine gun at the time of their death.
 * After the completion of Honest Hearts the casings will also begin appearing in the main game at the Gun Runners' store, Quartermaster Bardon at Hoover Dam offices and traveling merchants.
 * You can buy 30-50 at a time at the Gun Runners' store, and upwards to 200 at a time at the Great Khan armorer.
 * In Zion Valley, .45 Auto cases can be found commonly in ammunition boxes.
 * Five around Zion Ranger station (trash bins, roof, truck)
 * Five in Zion fishing lodge's trash bins (outside).
 * Occasionally some traveling merchants will "sell" .45 Auto casings (among many other calibers), but they will always be for free. Likewise, if you try and sell casings to a merchant, you will not yield any money. (Note: This is only possible after you have completed the Honest Hearts add-on.)
