Running with a group in Fallout 76 can be a blast—until everyone runs dry on ammo mid-raid. Whether you're clearing Daily Ops or just holding the line during an event like Radiation Rumble, keeping a steady supply of ammunition flowing is key to survival and success. Fortunately, Appalachia offers a wealth of tools and items to help your team stay loaded and ready. Here are 14 useful picks that can significantly boost your group ammo supply, from crafting support to strategic trading.

1. Ammo Converter

One of the most underrated additions in recent seasons, the Ammo Converter is a base item that allows you to turn unwanted ammunition into points, which can then be spent on the ammo you actually use. While it’s more helpful for individual players, setting one up in a public camp can benefit the whole group.

2. Ammo Factory Perk Card

This legendary perk under the Intelligence tree increases ammo production when crafting. With a maxed-out card and the Super Duper perk activated, you can craft hundreds of rounds in one go—making it an essential for any group’s designated ammo crafter.

3. Lead Deposits + Extractor

Lead is critical for ammo production. Setting up camp on a lead deposit and attaching an extractor allows your team to harvest lead passively. Combine this with a junk collector or shared stash and you’ve got a consistent flow of one of ammo’s most important ingredients.

4. Scrapper Perk Card

Scrapper allows you to harvest more components, especially when breaking down weapons and armor. Share this perk with teammates during group play so everyone benefits from increased material yields.

5. Workbenches at Public Workshops

Claiming and defending public workshops like Poseidon or Grafton provides your group access to weapon benches and junk extractors. These can be used to craft ammo on the fly or gather materials like steel, copper, and lead—vital for large-scale ammunition creation.

6. Scavenger Collectron Station

The right Collectron variant, like the Junk-Collecting one, will occasionally gather ammo crafting components. Position one in your camp and set it to public access to let teammates share the spoils.

7. Super Duper Perk Card

Chance-based but powerful, Super Duper gives you a shot at doubling whatever you craft—including ammo. Stack it with Ammo Factory for peak efficiency. Make sure your group crafter has this perk slotted in during batch production sessions.

8. Crafted Ammo from Events

Some events, like Scorched Earth or Encryptid, drop huge amounts of ammo. Group loot sharing ensures everyone walks away with something useful. Keep an eye on Fallout 76 item prices in player trade circles to gauge what types of ammo are currently in high demand and worth hoarding or trading.

9. Lucky Hole Mine (Lead Farming)

A classic destination for ammo crafters, this mine is packed with lead ore. Bring your Excavator Power Armor and team up for a farming run—more players mean faster collection and protection while you mine.

10. Team Workshops for Fast Travel and Crafting

When one team member captures a workshop and sets up a basic ammo production hub, it functions as a fast-travel and resupply point. Your group can quickly regroup, craft, and resupply mid-session without heading to their own camps.

11. Scrounger Perk Card

Scrounger increases the chance to find ammo in containers, and it stacks when multiple players in a team equip it. Perfect for when you're exploring together and looting buildings or supply caches.

12. Vendor Machines for Ammo Trade

Set up vending machines at your camp with surplus ammo to share or sell to teammates at minimal markup. Keep in mind the fluctuating Fallout 76 item prices—certain ammo types like .45 or Ultracite .50 cal rounds can sometimes be more valuable than caps themselves.

13. Team Bonuses (Intelligence and Luck)

Playing on a team with shared Intelligence or Luck bonuses can improve crafting results and loot quality. This passive synergy makes a real difference over time, especially when farming for bulk ammo ingredients.

14. Buy Ammo with Caps

Sometimes crafting just isn't enough. For rare or high-demand ammo types, it’s often easier to purchase from other players. Just be sure to check trusted trading communities, and don’t forget—you can buy Fallout 76 Caps online to support your team’s needs if you’re in a pinch and need to stock up fast.

Building a strong ammo supply isn’t about one single method—it’s a combination of smart perk choices, efficient resource management, and working together as a team. Whether you're crafting by the hundreds or farming lead deep in the mines, these items and tips can keep your fireteam ready for whatever Appalachia throws at you.
