Mastering Microwave in Megabonk: A Complete Guide

The Microwave is one of the most valuable tools in Megabonk, crucial for surviving encounters with tougher foes. Investing in it can greatly enhance your performance in the game.

Every map features a Microwave located in different random areas. Unfortunately, the game itself provides little guidance on where to find it. This guide will clear up any confusion about its whereabouts and share tips on utilizing this tool effectively.

Where to Find the Microwave in Megabonk

You can typically find Microwaves in one of the following three spots:

  • Close to your spawn location
  • At the boss portal
  • A random location on the map

The random location is the most common scenario. To locate the Microwave, keep an eye out for green icons on your map, which indicate various Shrines and challenge areas. The Microwave will be marked with the same green icon.

If you’re fortunate, you might stumble upon the Microwave easily. However, if luck isn’t on your side, your best bet is to scout each area manually until you come across it.

How to Use the Microwave in Megabonk

The Microwave allows you to duplicate one item of your choice, consuming another item from your inventory in the process. Different rarities signify the capabilities of the Microwaves — White Microwaves can create copies of common-tier items, while Purple and Yellow Microwaves can duplicate rare items.

Each Microwave can be used three times before it explodes. Using it costs Gold, and the price increases with the tier of the Microwave. While it may be more challenging to find higher-tier Microwaves, they can also duplicate more valuable items. In my experience, they appear infrequently during runs.


When making use of the Microwave, focus on duplicating items that are considered meta and rank highly on our tier list.
