Reloading bench

Nov 20, 2010  Fallout: New Vegas; What does breakdown at a reloading bench mean? User Info: pro9b17. Pro9b17 8 years ago #1. I don't really understand what the recipe's do. If I have a recipe for a certain type of ammo, does it give me that ammo? Or does it convert one type of ammo to another? For example it says 'Breakdown 22 LR (3)' and I press accept, it. One of the hardest parts of Fallout: New Vegas is actually choosing what sort of character to play. There are so many basic archetypes to choose from and then there are almost infinite variations.

Reloading bench is a world object in Fallout: New Vegas.

OverviewEdit

The reloading bench's primary purpose is to convert different forms of ammunition to others, making otherwise useless ammunition immediately valuable. However, these conversions do not share the same casings or hulls needed. They share only lead, powder, and primer, so these are not a straight conversion.

CharacteristicsEdit

• At a reloading bench, you can hand-load your own rounds using certain raw materials. Note that the types of cartridges you can create depend on your Repair skill, ammunition specifications you have found, and whether or not you have the Hand Loader perk.
• You can also disassemble cartridges in your possession in order to obtain reloading materials. Note that the break-down process doesn't return exactly all of the materials a round was made of, so it is wise to avoid unnecessary ammunition processing.
• Additionally, you can use the bench to extract lead from piles of scrap metal. Tin cans and scrap metal can be used in combination with the shell or cartridge needed to make that type of junk round (only available with the Junk Rounds perk from the add-on Dead Money).

NotesEdit

The reloading bench can only break down or convert standard ammunition into other types. Energy Weapons ammunition cannot be crafted at a reloading bench, use a workbench instead.

BugsEdit

PC Sometimes when opening the reloading bench and hovering over any option in the left column and then moving to the right column and then back to the left to select something else, everything besides the 'Exit' button becomes unclickable. Coming out of the menu and back on fixes this. It seems to happen by random chance. ^[verified]

• How do I repair my weapons and armor? 2 answers

I searched everywhere for methods on repairing armor and people said that you could ask people to repair armor for you but it's too expensive. Then I saw people saying you could 'cannibalize' armor, and by that I mean using similar armor to repair the primary armor set. But I don't see the option to do so. I went to my workbench but it didn't say anything about repairing my armor.

Open the weapons or armour page on your pip-boy and find the item you want to repair. Mouse over it and press r (Y on xbox 360). If you have identical or very similar weapons or armour to use in the repairs, you will see a list of items you can use for repairs. Click them to use them.

Increasing your repair skill will make your repairs more efficient.

The Jury Rigging perk, available at level 14 with 90 repair, allows you to repair any item with any item of the same category. For example, you can repair a magnum revolver with any handgun or repair power armour with any heavy armour.

You're supposed to be able to repair the armor the same way you repair a weapon on your pip-boy, if both armor are similar, you can 'cannibalize' them the same way you cannibalize weapons.

else, there is a list of all NPCs that can repair :

1. Dale Barton- Fortification Hill
2. Samuel Kerr- 188 Trading Post
3. Calamity- Jacobstown
4. Old Lady Gibson- Gibson Scrap Yard
5. Mick- Mick & Ralph's
6. Major Knight- Mojave Outpost
7. Paladin Sato- Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse
8. Raul Tejada- Raul's Shack
