About Boom Bait

Boom Bait is a Throwable in Abiotic Factor. It deals 25 damage of the Sharp type. It is a Tier 1 item. It weighs 1 per unit. In-game it is described as: "A device that emits a beeping noise to attract enemies, then a damaging detonation."

A throwable: soften or finish a target from range without committing to melee, then pick up what it leaves behind.

Its 25 damage places it mid-pack of the 14 Throwable entries tracked here (#9 by raw damage).

Against the enemies catalogued here, 6 are weak to Sharp damage — including Neophyte, Captain, Grunt, and 3 more — so this is worth carrying before those fights.

Practical notes: it stacks up to 10.

Verdict: Overall Boom Bait is "a middle-of-the-pack Throwable" pick whose Sharp damage profile should be matched to enemy weaknesses.

Choosing between weapons: match the damage type to enemy weaknesses — check the enemies database for what each creature resists. Armor matters too, see the armor database for set bonuses.
