Gunpowder

Gunpowder is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
An explosive chemical mixture of sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate. It is a required component for crafting ballistic ammunition.

Crafting
Making gunpowder results in a net weight increase of almost double. This worsens with the Pack Rat perk because gunpowder is not affected by it.
 * 3 * 0.05 (acid) + 5 * 0.05 (cloth) = 0.4 total materials
 * 15 * 0.05 (gunpowder) = 0.75 final gunpowder weight

Locations

 * Found on the bodies of raiders and super mutants.
 * Often found in ammo boxes.
