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 land 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 character.

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 one dynamite is required when the player character has the Hand Loader perk with the Gun Runners' Arsenal add-on installed.
