You will be able to find FND caches in military-controlled areas throughout Yara. These are black and red chests that you will be able to loot whilst completing other objectives. You will stumble across FND Caches frequently, and they sometimes can be acquired without a firefight. You can even bribe soldiers who will mark FND caches on your map to make them easy to find. However, they aren't guaranteed to have gunpowder.
Ambushes in Far Cry 6 are randomly generated, they appear on the map as a red handgun icon when you are nearby to them. Joining an ambush is a great way to gather gunpowder, it does however involve attacking the enemies that are guarding the cache. Each ambush is guaranteed to have at least one gunpowder due to the fact that you will need to overpower enemies in order to acquire the cache. The cache will also contain crafting materials.
