Player-reported Fuse replacement checklist

Where do players report finding a Fuse, and why might one not work?

Quick answer

Current player reports describe Broken Fuse as an elevator modifier: search chests and lockers, reject a Fuse that displays 0% durability, then carry a usable Fuse to the elevator's broken slot. These are independently reported community steps, not an official spawn guarantee; room layouts, modifiers, and updates can change where an item appears.

What we know

  • A Steam Community answer reports finding Fuses in chests and lockers and carrying one to the elevator slot.
  • An independent dated field report with screenshots describes a 0%-durability Fuse as unusable and a later usable Fuse in a locker.
  • Both sources describe replacement, not repairing the existing broken item.

Before you start

  • A run showing the Broken Fuse elevator modifier
  • Inventory space or the ability to carry the reported replacement item
  • The item's displayed durability must be checked before returning to the elevator

What to do

  1. 01

    Confirm the Broken Fuse modifier is active before spending the run searching for a replacement.

  2. 02

    Search chests and lockers as reported by players; treat these as candidate locations rather than guaranteed spawns.

  3. 03

    Inspect the item. If the Fuse displays 0% durability, stop retrying it and continue searching.

  4. 04

    Carry a non-zero-durability Fuse in hand to the elevator and approach the broken Fuse slot.

How to know it worked

  • The replacement is accepted at the elevator and the Broken Fuse requirement clears.
  • The item used was visibly not the 0%-durability dead Fuse described in the field report.

If it does not work

  • The task/modifier is not active.
  • The first Fuse found may show 0% durability and be unusable.
  • The usable item may be elsewhere because chest, locker, and room outcomes are not guaranteed.
  • A later game update may change spawns, item state, or the elevator interaction.
