The Microwave is one of the most helpful tools in Megabonk, and spending money on it can help you survive the more formidable enemies.
Every map has a Microwave situated somewhere, and this location is random. The game doesn’t exactly help with the location, and this guide will remove your confusion if you cannot find the Microwave. We will then go through how to use the tool properly.

Microwave location in Megabonk
Microwaves can typically be located at any one of the three following spots:
- Near the place where you spawn on the map
- The boss portal
- Random location
Usually, a random location on the map appears to be the likeliest case on most occasions. So, how do we find the Microwave? Look out for the green icons on the map. Typically, the green icons mark the location of different Shrines and challenge areas on the map. The Microwave is also marked with the same icon.
If you’re lucky, you can find the Microwave quite easily. If not, the only option is to manually scout every spot on the map to come across the Microwave.
How to use Microwave in Megabonk
Microwaves allow you to multiply an item of your choosing. In exchange, it will consume any other item from your collection. Microwaves have three different rarities, which you can recognise from their color. White Microwaves can only duplicate common-tier items, while Purple and Yellow-colored ones can duplicate higher-tier items.
Each Microwave can be used three times, and it will then explode. It costs money (aka Gold) to use the Microwave, and the amount goes up for higher-tier Microwaves. Then again, you can duplicate higher-tier items with them. However, the odds of higher-tier Microwaves appear relatively low, and I haven’t found them too often on my runs.
When using the Microwave, you’ll want to duplicate items considered meta and rank high on our tier list.
