How to find and use Microwave in Megabonk

The Microwave is one of the most helpful tools in Megabonk, and spending money on it can help you survive the more formidable enemies.

Every map has a Microwave situated somewhere, and its location is random. The game doesn’t exactly help you find it or explain how you can use it properly.

Microwave location in Megabonk

Microwaves can typically be located at any one of the three following spots:

• Near the place where you spawn on the map
• The boss portal
• Random location

Usually, a random location on the map appears to be the likeliest case on most occasions. Look out for the green icons on the map. Typically, they mark the location of different Shrines and challenge areas on the map. The Microwave is also marked with the same icon.

The only guaranteed way to find the Microwave is to manually scout every spot on the map.

How to use Microwave in Megabonk

Microwaves allow you to multiply an item of your choosing. In exchange, it will consume any other item from your collection. Microwaves have three different rarities, which you can recognise from their color. White Microwaves can only duplicate common-tier items, while the rarer, Purple and Yellow-colored ones can duplicate higher-tier ones too.

Each Microwave can be used three times, and it will then explode. It costs Gold to use the Microwave, and the amount goes up for higher-tier Microwaves. Be sure to duplicate items considered meta and rank high on our tier list.
