Loot From FND Caches

FND Caches can mostly be found in military territory, which can make collecting FND Cache items a tough task, unless you're a stealthy one. Locate them on the map by following the white, rectangular icon with a circular ensemble.

Take note, however, that not all FND Caches yield Gunpowder. Some caches might contain weapons instead.

Complete Bandido Operations

Far Cry 6 - Bandido Operations Boards.png

The Bandido Operations minigame has a chance of yielding Gunpowder as a reward. Since Bandido Operations complete automatically with no effort from the player, and also yield other useful rewards like Pesos, weapons, and materials, it's a good idea to do these every time they are available.

How to Use Gun Powder

Use For Weapon Upgrades

Far Cry 6 - Use For Weapon Upgrades.png
Gunpowder is used primarily in weapon upgrades that you can unlock using a Workbench. The amount of gunpowder required for each upgrade depends on the kind of mod you're building, with higher ranked mods often costing more gunpowder to make.

Simply approach a workbench and select a weapon to upgrade, select a socket to work on, and pick a mod to make.
