2mm Electromagnetic Cartridge

(Redirected from 2mm EC (Fallout 4))
FO76 publicteam xpd.pngFor an overview of the topic, see 2mm EC.

The 2mm electromagnetic cartridge is a type of ammunition in Fallout 4.

Background

The 2mm Electromagnetic Cartridge is a self-contained magazine containing high-velocity ferromagnetic projectiles and the battery pack necessary to power the Gauss weapon they are fired from.[Pub 1]

Gameplay

Much like in Fallout 2, 2mm EC rounds are used by the powerful Gauss rifle. These rounds are rare and expensive, and also take the most resources to craft.

Weapons using this ammunition

Locations

  • One cartridge can be found on a tray on a counter in the stowage depot of the Prydwen. This is the only placed instance of a 2mm EC cartridge in the game.
  • 2mm EC ammo may also be found in rare loot from level 22 onwards, or found along with randomly spawned Gauss rifles.
  • These vendors sell approximately 20-55 of the rare 2mm EC ammo type, refreshing their stock every 48 hours. The ammo does not become available from vendors until level 28 (or possibly level 22 in some cases), increasing in quantity at levels 30 and 35.

Notes

  • 2mm EC rounds are extremely hard to find in containers at lower levels. They are more commonly found after level 30.
  • Stores are selling 2mm EC rounds in very small amounts, and replenish their inventory after 48 hours.

    This ammunition is not found loose, but in magazines containing the number of shots generated (and sufficient battery charge to power the weapon for those shots)."
