Ok, I'm playing the latest version of steam for the first time and am
fiddling with a german engineer and am getting frustrated. Shotgun
ammo is expensive and I haven't found any more buckshot. There is
this nice little shotgun ammo creator that I started with but it seems
to be impossible for a low level character to use at the beginning.
When will I remotely be able to use it?

I'm at work, so I can't give you specific numbers, but I'm fairly certain you
need to be in the second branch of the use device skill tree before you will
have any success activitating that ammo generator. They only produce so much
ammo also, before they break. Ammo is sold in both the general store, and the
weapon store.

You can view the success rates for activating devices if you *id* them.

The ammo generator is pretty much useless except to sell. Unlike your
starting buckshot, you *can* sell it, and it will fetch a nice price. It
is worth keeping the starting buckshot and shotgun in order to have
extra firepower against early quests or other difficulties, even if you
aren't trying to make a gunman out your Engineer (and guns aren't an
obvious choice for Engineers).

Sell the ammo generator and buy yourself something nice (like a good
melee weapon if that's the way you want to go, or a bunch of rayguns).

As for buckshot, don't expect the dungeon to cough up any soon. It is
only available in Town in the Black Market, but can be worth the
purchase. When you're out of SP and still need to kill, buckshot is
pretty handy.

Holy Avenger should be a Paladin title,
not an ego item.
