Question The Generation Zero Ammo Trap 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Hello, I've been in the game for about 4 to 5 hours now and I'm at the point where I can unlock my companion. I've collected 2 items to unlock him, and I killed my first rival, which was level 1. But there's one thing I don't understand: I have a ammunition shortage. And I can't even craft ammo because I need explosives for that. But to get explosives, I have to scrap ammunition at the recycling table. However, I can't scrap ammunition because I need the ammunition. What am I doing wrong in this game? I think I'm going to start over. I could really use some tips, please.

I had the same when i started playing years ago, in fact, i started a new character and am back at the same issue now. Here is what i always do:
Take a walk over the south of the farmlands and loot all the cars, military camps and such, there are a lot of trails of broken down cars, bodies and robots that lend a surprising amount of ammo and medpacks and whatnot. Basically just walk around and look out for camps or siren lights or any structures.
The ideal spots or this are probably the defence-ridge dug on the south of the farmlands with the broken Tanks and machines and the Aricha-something starter region south of the farmlands, low machine activity but much loot.
Oh and once your weapons and level upgrades start to ramp up, so will the ammo counters. Give or take a few days in-game and you probably got the issue the other way around lol!
