Exploration in Arknights Endfield often needs you to think beyond combat. Certain paths, walls, and hazards resist weapons but respond to a different solution. Explosives fill that role. In Endfield, explosives are not just damage tools. They unlock routes, remove obstacles, and support exploration when terrain pushes back. This guide explains how to make explosives through the AIC and how to use them effectively.
What Explosives Do in Arknights Endfield
Explosives in Endfield appear as Industrial Explosives. You can use them as throwable items designed mainly for environmental interaction. They destroy cracked rocks, walls, and other destructible objects that block progress. They also deal area damage to enemies, which makes them useful when starting encounters against weaker groups.
You do not craft explosives directly from your inventory. The game ties their production to your Automated Industry Complex, also known as the AIC.
How to Get Explosives Through the AIC
To make explosives, you can rely on a production chain inside your AIC.
Required Materials
You need two processed materials to craft one Industrial Explosive:
- Five Amethyst Parts
- One Aketine Powder
The Packaging Unit combines these materials into a finished explosive in 10 seconds.
How Each Material Is Prepared?
Amethyst Parts come from Amethyst Fiber. You create Amethyst Fiber by refining Amethyst Ore in a Refining Unit. After that, you process the fiber in a Fitting Unit to produce Amethyst Parts.
Aketine Powder comes from Aketine. You place Aketine into a Shredding Unit, which converts it into powder ready for packaging.
Once both materials reach the Packaging Unit, the unit produces one Industrial Explosive.
Basic AIC Layout for Bomb Crafting
A simple setup supports steady explosive production without overcomplication.
Recommended facilities
- Packaging Unit x1
- Fitting Unit x1
- Shredding Unit x1
- Refining Unit x1
- Electric Pylon x1
This layout places Amethyst Parts as the main bottleneck, but it still produces explosives at a reliable pace. You can use this setup early without chasing perfect efficiency.
How to Use Explosives in Endfield?
Explosives serve two main purposes during gameplay.
Destroying Destructible Objects
You can throw explosives at cracked rocks and walls. When they break, they often reveal hidden paths, treasure chests, or Aurylene. The game visually signals which objects respond to explosives, so you rarely waste them if you read the environment carefully.
Dealing Damage to Enemies
You can also throw explosives at enemies. This works best at the start of a fight. Explosives quickly remove weaker enemies and soften groups before direct engagement.
