Firecracker String

No player can craft this string, so read the bill as a price tag: 20 sulfur of gun powder and a few frags, about half of which a recycler returns.

About this craft

Treat the numbers here as a receipt, not a plan. The game lets no player craft or research the string; every one comes from loot or a trade, mostly around Lunar New Year. What the calculator gives you is its worth: ten gun powder and a few metal fragments per string.

So the choice is throw or recycle. Throwing costs you nothing you could have crafted, and the rattle is the fun of it. The recycler hands back about half the powder and frags, a handful of rifle rounds' worth from a whole stack, so recycle only when strings are clogging a box.

The confetti cannon is the same kind of event loot. If you own the fireworks on Steam, a red boomer is the bang you can craft.
