Powder Charge

The powder charge is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The powder charge is a crude improvised explosive consisting of a sealed tin can packed with dynamite, with a sensor module duct-taped to the side.

The weapon functions like other proximity mines, and can be placed or disarmed in the same way. Like other placed explosives, it cannot be used in V.A.T.S.

Crafting
This weapon can be crafted by the player.

Creation requirements

¹ Craftable without a workbench via a dialogue option with Veronica, or with ED-E once the add-on Lonesome Road is installed. ² Only 1 dynamite required with the Gun Runners' Arsenal add-on installed.

Locations

 * Active powder charges can be found on the ground around Powder Ganger camps to the north, east and west of the NCR Correctional Facility, and around the perimeter fence of the facility itself. These charges may be disarmed and taken by the player.
 * May be sold by Cliff Briscoe, Carter, and Lacey.
