The reported unlock for the Bomb utility is the “Produce Industrial Explosives” exploration mission chain—not simply defeating a boss in Etchspace Salvage. After crafting Industrial Explosives, put them in your backpack and select Bomb on the Easy Tool wheel. A precise boss location or turn-by-turn route is not established by the available guide, so use the in-game commission objective rather than relying on a claimed map route.
Requirements reported for Etchspace Salvage
NerdsChalk’s January 28, 2026 walkthrough reports that access to Etchspace Salvage requires Authority Level 25, progress through Chapter 1 – Process 3, and completion of the associated quest. These are secondary-source claims, not confirmed against current official game documentation. Check your quest list and the mode’s in-game requirements, since availability may depend on your current story progress. Source: NerdsChalk
How to unlock and equip Bomb
- Wait for the mission chain: The walkthrough says “Produce Industrial Explosives” becomes available after a message from Andre and sufficient main-story progress. Follow the mission as it appears in your game; the guide does not establish an exact point at which Andre’s message arrives.
- Use the Packaging production path: The guide describes crafting Industrial Explosives through Packaging and mentions processing Aketine and Amethyst. It does not document a complete recipe or material quantities, so use the requirements shown by your production interface rather than assuming amounts.
- Craft the explosives: Complete the production requirements for Industrial Explosives.
- Equip the utility for field use: Place Industrial Explosives in your backpack, then select Bomb from the Easy Tool wheel. Crafting the item alone does not complete these reported setup steps.
The walkthrough lists Oroberyl x25, T-Creds, and Intermediate Combat Records as rewards for “Produce Industrial Explosives,” but does not give all amounts. Check the mission’s reward display in your current game before counting on a specific payout. NerdsChalk’s walkthrough
What to do during the Aberrant Exploration boss run
The available route guidance is a broad run sequence, not a verified path to a named boss. No exact boss, map coordinate, location of the Bomb unlock, or sequence of turns is established. Once in Aberrant Exploration, follow the on-screen commission objectives, keep track of Derangement, reach the boss-gated section, defeat the boss, confirm the objective’s progression, and extract. The guide’s description does not prove that defeating this boss unlocks the Bomb utility. NerdsChalk
