Powder Charge

The Powder charge is a placed explosive in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It works very much like a Frag mine in that it is deployed by placing it on a surface and will explode, after an audible warning beep, if a character who is hostile to whoever placed the charge approaches it. Charges can also be disarmed in the same way as mines. The main difference (apart from appearance) is that powder charges are significantly less damaging than frag mines although a reasonable explosion may still cripple limbs of a low level/health opponent.


 * Despite requiring Dynamite (similar to the Time bomb), it is not affected by the Cowboy perk. Probably because it only uses the powder of the dynamite, not the whole sticks, like the Time bomb does.

Locations

 * The Powder charge schematic can be found in Cell block B of the NCRCF on the first left top bunk inside the first locked cell on the left.
 * You can find three guarding between the table and a bus by Powder Ganger Camp West.
