“You find more ammunition in containers.”— Rank 1 description
Scrounger is a Luck perk in Fallout 4.

Notes[]
- The effect of this perk also applies to dead bodies, causing nearly every corpse that would drop ammo to drop more frequently (unlike in previous games).
- Rank 4's description is misleading: it gives a chance to add a free magazine or fusion core, when you fully empty the gun, not "more ammo".
As there is no way to create ammunition without using the ammunition plant from the Contraptions Workshop DLC, this perk can be very helpful in obtaining ammunition without having to purchase it if the DLC is not installed.
