This perk will not affect killed enemies or containers in locations that were visited prior to taking the perk, as these containers are filled when first encountered.

“You find more ammunition in containers.”— Rank 1 description
Allows certain types of ammunition to be found as loot in random containers (i.e. cabinets, desks, metal cabinets, etc.). It works similar to the Fortune Finder perk. If both Scrounger and the Fortune Finder perk are obtained, you will find both ammunition and caps in the same containers.
This perk only affects the following ammunition types in the LLE_Perk_Scrounger* level lists. Any ammunition type not listed here is unaffected by this perk:
This version of the perk also applies to enemies as well as containers (unlike in previous games).
As Fallout 4 does not have the ability to create ammunition without DLC and factories, this perk can be very helpful in obtaining ammunition without having to purchase it.
