Ammo Station

Ammo Station is an item obtained through progression rather than by crafting or scavenging. It is unlocked by speaking to The Blacksmith after meeting Sarah Frake, which makes it part of the mid-game progression tied to advancing the broader settlement and NPC quest chain.

Its main function is to unlock Tram Stations. Once obtained, it serves as the key requirement for activating the Tram Station network locations that connect important areas of the facility. At present, three Tram Stations require an Ammo Station to be unlocked, so the item is tied directly to expanding fast travel and access between major zones.

The Tram Stations that depend on it are located at:

• Manufacturing West, near the Digsite
• The Lobby of Cascade Laboratories
• Power Services in the Reactors area, at the far wall

Because these stations are spread across different parts of the facility, Ammo Station is an important progression item for opening up more efficient movement through the map. Rather than being a combat consumable despite its name, it functions as a station-unlock key item for infrastructure access. Players who want to make use of tram travel should make sure they have completed the prerequisite conversation with The Blacksmith after meeting Sarah Frake, since that is what makes the item available.

Once unlocked, Ammo Station’s value comes from access rather than direct use in combat or crafting. Its role is straightforward: it gates the tram system until the relevant progression point is reached, then enables the player to activate the listed Tram Stations and benefit from quicker traversal between distant locations.
