Here's a quick guide on how to craft Industrial Explosives in Arknights: Endfield.

Found a breakable wall with no explosive barrel nearby? You'll need to bring your own. Arknights: Endfield calls these portable bombs Industrial Explosives, so bring a few when hunting collectibles.

The recipe has two ingredients, but neither goes straight from the wilderness into a bomb. Here's what to build and where each material needs to go.

How to Unlock Explosive Production

Advance the early main missions until Basic AIC II becomes available in your AIC Plan. Research Packaging Tech to unlock the Packaging Unit. Without that facility, gathering the correct ingredients won't be enough to produce explosives.

Arknights: Endfield Building an Outpost

If your mission is introducing explosives, read the related messages and objectives before building. Check for any provided blueprint. Follow that introduction rather than placing machines at random.

How to Make Both Ingredients

Gather Aketine in Valley Pass and process it through a Shredding Unit to make Aketine Powder. Keep some plants available for seed production if you're planning to establish a renewable supply later.

Amethyst needs another processing step. Send Amethyst Ore into a Refining Unit to obtain Amethyst Fiber, then feed that into a Fitting Unit for Amethyst Parts. Raw ore cannot replace the finished parts in the explosive recipe.

How to Set Up the Packaging Unit

Place the Packaging Unit inside your powered factory area and select Industrial Explosive as its product. Each explosive requires one Aketine Powder and five Amethyst Parts. Supply both ingredients and make sure the facility has power.

Want the factory to keep making them? Belt both ingredients into the Packaging Unit and send its output to storage. If it stalls, open the machine and see what's missing. A belt facing the wrong way can leave an input empty even with plenty of materials nearby.

How to Carry and Use Explosives

Collect your finished explosives and equip them through the quick-use item setup before exploring. At a suitable destructible obstacle, aim the explosive where the blockage needs breaking. Check your remaining supply before moving into another area.

Look around before using one. A nearby explosive barrel may do the job for free, while a closed gate might need a switch instead. Save your bombs for obstacles that actually respond to explosions; you can always make more back at base.

Unlock Packaging Tech, combine Aketine Powder with Amethyst Parts, and carry the finished explosives before heading back into the field.
