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

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

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.
