Cartridge

From TaRapedia

Cartridges are one of the 5 types of ammunition in Tabula Rasa. They are used in the physical damage versions of pistols, rifles, shotguns and chainguns. Weapons that use Cartridges for ammunition will typically have a higher clip size than those that use other forms of ammunition. They can be purchased from most standard vendors, or fabricated using a schematic.

[edit] Grades

The grade of ammunition required depends on the level of the weapon. There is no difference at all between different grades apart from the cost.

Grade	Cost per unit	Approx level range
Standard Grade Cartridges	2	1 - 17
Improved Grade Cartridges	4	18 - 32
High Grade Cartridges	8	32 - 42
Select Grade Cartridges	20	42 - ??
Elite Grade Cartridges	50	?? - 50

[edit] Fabrication

Cartridges can be created with fabrication by using schematics found on slain enemies. Each schematic is single-use and will produce 500 Cartridges of the specified grade.
