Creature drops
Bombardier Parts
Bombardier Parts and Boiling Glands support crafting and progression, including explosive recipes that use glands.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Bombardier Parts
Around the Rake, Haze perimeter, and upper yard, where Bombardier Beetles roam.
Before you go
- A Tier II weapon suitable for the fight.
- Healing items.
- Enough open space to dodge the acid attack.
Farming steps
- Check the Rake or Haze edge for a Bombardier Beetle.
- Choose a spot away from other hostile creatures and approach with room to dodge.
- Engage the beetle while watching for its ranged acid attack.
- Move out of the attack area instead of staying still to exchange hits.
- Defeat the beetle and collect the drop pile.
- At a Field Station, analyze the first unfamiliar part or gland to reveal available recipes.
- Use the parts or Boiling Gland for recipes that require them, including Bratburst explosives when unlocked.
- Healing helps cover mistakes during the acid attack; do not start the encounter with low health.
- Check the recipe before farming extra glands so you do not carry more than you can use.
Repeat, collect and use
Find another beetle on a later pass and repeat as needed; drops are not a fixed guaranteed quantity per encounter.
Common mistakes
- Fighting in a crowded spot: pull the beetle away from nearby threats first.
- Ignoring the acid attack: keep moving and use open ground to dodge.
- Expecting every drop to be present: check the pile and repeat only if the recipe still lacks materials.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have the parts and glands your next recipe needs; switch to safer resource gathering if healing is depleted.
