Lead (Fallout 76)

Lead is a crafting component in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
An uncommon component used for boosting radiation resistance in armor and apparel. It is used for making ammo at a tinker's workbench. Lead scrap cannot be sold to vendors, however lead yielding junk or bulk lead can be sold to vendors for caps.

Production
Lead ore can be processed at a chemistry station into lead scrap. Lead ore cannot be processed from a stash box and must come from the player character's inventory (acid can be crafted directly from the stash box).
