About this craft

Say your Level 2 workbench is down and you have scrap for one pistol blueprint. Both upgrades cost the same scrap at the same bench, so what decides is the cost of each round afterwards. HV pistol ammo only doubles the powder. This one doubles it, adds raw sulfur on top and gives one round fewer per craft.

Per shot that is more than three times the sulfur of a plain pistol bullet, and a stack of it is sulfur your group would rather turn into powder for a raid. Most players learn HV first and fire incendiary only when a crate hands them a pile.

If you do craft it, make a few mags for fights indoors: a base you just breached, a monument corridor. Order in threes and the powder divides evenly. Set the raw sulfur aside before the powder queue starts, or the last craft stalls.
