The Firecracker - Crafted is a homemade firecracker that works as a thrown noise maker. Its job is to make a loud bang that pulls zombies toward the spot where it lands.
It works the same way as store-bought Firecrackers. A survivor with Gunpowder can make one whenever a pack is needed. The Make Firecracker recipe has to be learned first. Survivor safehouses also hold ready-made ones quite often. The Engineer is the best occupation for explosives. It can make traps and explosives from the start.
Combat
To throw it, hold the firecracker in one hand and a lighter or matches in the other. The throw works the same way as a Fire Bomb, and it lands up to 10 tiles away. The bang draws nearby zombies toward the landing spot.
The firecracker suits a quiet plan rather than a fight. A throw away from a door or a car leads zombies off the path. A throw into a street can lure a group away from a house before looting it.
Uses
The Make Firecracker recipe takes Glue, Gunpowder, Twine and a piece of paper, with scissors kept as the tool. Almost any paper works, from a Sheet of Paper or a Flier to Mail or a Doodle. The finished firecracker weighs almost nothing.

Notes

- Any scrap of paper works, including junk mail and doodles.
- Store-bought Firecrackers do the same job and need no crafting.
