Satchel Charge
A bundle of beancan grenades — the cheapest craftable raiding explosive. Effective but unreliable, satchels have a chance to become a dud and need re-igniting.
Crafting one takes 4× Beancan Grenade, 1× Small Stash, 1× Rope at a Workbench Lvl 1. A recycler breaks one down into Beancan Grenade. 7 skins exist for it, topped by Military Satchel Charge.
How Much Damage Does It Do?
A Satchel Charge doesn't have one fixed damage number against structures — the effective damage changes depending on what it's hitting, since stone, wood, metal and HQM each resist explosives differently. For the exact count you need against a specific wall, door or vehicle, check the raid chart or run it through the raid calculator.

Radtown recyclers (found in monuments) give more than the safe-zone recyclers at Outpost and Bandit Camp. A percentage next to a yield is the chance of receiving it.

Counts are the same from either face: explosives ignore the soft side. Each target is broken on its own: damage left over from one does not carry to the next.
