straffin Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Got to Bleak Inlet with Level 3 Gunsmithing (thanks to "book learnin'") and a WHOLE LOT of scrap lead... A WHOLE BUNCH of bullets later, I started crafting cartridges at Level 5. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hozz1235 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I stock up on lead and make bullets until I hit lvl 5. That way, all of my cartridges are 100%. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky socks Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 First time I went to bleak inlet, I started picking up batteries and soon realized I need to harvest them, otherwise they are quite heavy, just like in real life😁 Using just harvested lead in bleak inlet alone let me build up my gunsmitting level to 4 while creating bullets. I think you also get leveled up when you make gun powder. That game part alone made me feel great about my achievement! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTC-10 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Reading all the practical gunsmithing books you can find, then bringing as many lead plates (and the other components) to the ammunition workbench then making bullets is the way to go. At least the workbench furnace only has to be working (no required minimum temperature) to be used to cast bullets (1 hour per plate to get six bullets). Perhaps the biggest limitation of that furnace is that it can only be used for casting bullets. No making water. No cooking food. At least one can take a torch from it to light the nearby fire barrel for cooking purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
