Preface
Welcome to my collectibles guide! I hope to detail the location of every weapon, NPC spawnable, and module. This is a work in progress—I'm adding new sections as I go along. I hope you find use in this! :)

BoneGuide[docs.google.com]

WARNING: This guide will contain spoilers for the story.

Sandbox Mode
For instructions on unlocking Sandbox Mode, see Modules - MUSEUM. You must archive everything in the beginning to unlock Sandbox Mode.

Reclamation Bins
This is a reclamation bin. By tossing collectibles—weapons, NPC "pills"/spawnables, modules—in there, you unlock whatever that thing might be, in sandbox mode. Not all items are collectible though!



BONEWORKS Crates
Creates labeled with the BONEWORKS logo may contain collectibles! Break them and see what's inside.

Purchasable presents are randomized!
Mag/Currency Cheating (Cheat Engine)
NOTICE
This may not work with the most recent update! It was suggested by Heyesy Dude to use Save Editor Online[www.saveeditonline.com] instead!

During the making of this guide, I didn't have enough currency (ammo in this case) to buy some of the thing I wanted to showcase. I was able to cheat it in by putting some currency in the slot, scanning for that amount (4 Bytes), repeating until I was down to one value. Change that value to 99999999 and refund. There you go!

Image guide:

First off, open Cheat Engine and select the BONEWORKS process:



Next, put some ammo in. Scan for the amount you put in (the refunded count):




Keep scanning until you have one result. Double-click it to add it to the list, and double-click the value in the list. Change it to something like 9999999 (not too high, not too low) and refund. Voila!

Commented Items (Uncategorized)
I intend to investigate all of these and potentially add them to the proper sections. For posterity though, I'll list them here. Addressed comments have been removed. Thanks to those listed below!

Shopping cart, at the end of tower you can find a reclamation bin, go to the second floor of the building it is on and open every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cabinet you can find. You will find a shopping cart and a battery used for the hover junker(another stress level zero game vehicle) earlier in the level.
Computer. in central station go through the level normally and when you break the lock to get the key in the cabinet near the bonebox go onto the tracks. You will not get ran over BUT you will go right when ur on the tracks, if there's nothing there go the other way. You will find a place with a valve, and a Bonebox with a computer!

I really love the shopping cart, it's really fun to jump in and take a ride near the end of the Runoff level.

Anyways. merry amsterdam.

You can pick up the Core with the Gravity Staff and then lift up other things by touching the Core to them. Happened by accident when I was making some Time Tower runs.

In the Sewers you can also take the flashlight from the beginning to the reclamation bin. Tried taking the traffic cone (on my head) but the bin wouldn't take it. Also I know there is a Spiked Club in the game and I remember getting it at one point in the Sewers but it might have just been an RNG drop from a barrel. Seems like all the rare weapons have a Boneworks box hidden somewhere so we are probably missing that one.
Originally posted by Babomancer:
For the purple key in the Sewers you can climb under the big pipes on the ceiling, from the ledge BEFORE jumping down. Hard to reach from the ledge but you can go back a bit and grab onto the sign hanging from the pipe at the corner. Also be VERY careful because there are lots of places where your hand will simply not grip as expected, and if you fall I don't think there is a way to get back up without starting over the entire level.

In the Subway Station in one of the hidden rooms (requires blue or purple key?) there's a Boneworks box with a small blue orb in it. Dump in the reclamation bin for a cardboard recycling box under Props. Weird...

Maybe this method will help someone. I got the turret npc capsule in the streets by shooting the crate open, then grabbing the sphere shaped sculpture and "launched" it at the maze sculpture just like launching the ball at the cans in the training Museum. Took a couple of hits, but rotated the maze enough for the turret capsule to slide off.
Originally posted by Hop:
on time tower there is a Headset Plus (Big Headset NPC). On the opposite side of the room from which you come up on the platform there are 2 rooms indented into the wall quite high up. If you climb or fly up to the one on the left there is a boneworks box which if smashed gives you the module
Originally posted by -=.FIRE.=-:
note, you can get king headset in time tower, look up from the big elevator that brings you up, against the closest wall to you you'll see two big holes in the wall, go up to the left one and youll see the king crab's boneworks crate (note; i got up there with the nimbus gun, idk if you can climb)

(uncomfirmed from me)- the cleanup crew is in quote "in runoff down in the pit after all the zombies, right begore the huge spinning blade) spinning blade is the big fan you grab onto to get to the teleport to next level and reclamation

ive gotten everything except for cleanup and one other, got most of them with this post, thank you!

Also, I've tried to do the Cheat Engine Cheat (knowing how to use Cheat Engine) and had a hard time finding the address for ammo... I found that you can go to
C:\Users\[NAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Stress Level Zero\BONEWORKS
once there, copy additional_resources1.dat and copy it into this website [www.saveeditonline.com] (I recommend creating a backup of that file, too) make every value ~500000 (don't make it a stupid number (ex. 9999999999) because it can break the value and give you some random number like -14253461) than, download the file and put it back into the file where you got it from. Enter game, and voila! You now have ammo to use in vending machines or whatever else you want.
In the Sewers, in the room, where you find the purple key, there is a passage into tube (not the one from wich we can walk out). Several head crabs jump out of there.
I made an pramide from boxes to climb there
There is short tunnel, with two passages, closed with lattice. You can see space through it, with a doors (red and blue) into space, like those in some trailers. If you want, i can give link to screens with it, if you want to include it in article

The katana is in a barrel, I remembered wrong on the location I was thinking of the shovel spot, the katanas in the level that has lots of iron bars blocking your way, I thought it was runnoff but I guess it's after runoff. Sorry for the mix up

Notes
If you want to reclaim weapons in the weapons range exhibit, you will need to stick a trash can (or similarly-sized indestructible object) beneath where the first giant glass door closes.



Weapons
Sledgehammer
Right before the big puzzle, turn around and rush through the door. You can tell where it is by the door's brightness compared to the rest of the wall, and the light coming from under the door. The sledgehammer is around the corner. You may also find the sandbox module by breaking the BONEWORKS box in the corner.



Hammer
In the room with the big puzzle, you can find some hammers sitting right by some glass.



Random Melee Weapon
Destroying the three barrels in the room with the big puzzle may yield random melee weapons, such as a frying pan, a hooked axe, etc.

Glock + Crowbar
In the first room on the second floor next to the inventories demonstration you'll find a crowbar and Glock sitting on a block.



MP5
On the ledge in one of the weapons stalls is an MP5.



UZI
Another stall has a couple of UZIs.



M4 (no attachments)
The next stall has a no-attachments M4.



Most Melee Weapons
Behind the last stall is an area with all the melee weapons:



On the far inner-wall there'll be a couple of recycle bins. Put one of each melee weapon inside:



Take the bin full of weapons back to the giant door. Hit the red button on the other side to raise the door (shutting the weapons room door), and toss everything into the Reclamation Bin:



Balloon Gun
Cannot collect here—see Weapons - STREETS.
The Balloon Gun can be found in the Gravity Room in the next area. Unfortunately, the entrance and exit to that room have the object-erasing barriers.



NPCs
Nullbody
The Nullbody spawnable can be found at the Monomat™ Object Dispensing System. This costs 45 pistol rounds.



Omni Wrecker
Thanks to FunnyKidFunny for pointing this one out!
The Omni Wrecker spawnable can be found in the room with the demo trash collector. Get the ball to the other side and ram the yellow ramp. This will drop a BONEWORKS crate with the spawnable inside.



Modules
Sandbox Module
You must have started by archiving every item in BREAKROOM.
You can unlock Sandbox mode by finding the Sandbox module and tossing it in the first Reclamation Bin. The module may be found in the archival room, right before the last puzzle on the first floor. Turn around to find the hidden door:



In the corner is a BONEWORKS crate. Break it, and inside you'll find the Sandbox module!



Take the module and throw it inside the Reclamation Bin by the first Monomat™ Object Dispensing System.
Streets
Weapons
Balloon Gun
See here for an alternative way of getting it!
Originally posted by Another Alternate Way (by try41000):
I found a much easier way to get the balloon gun than doing the parkour. You can drag the large wedge below the ledge where the boneworks crate is located, and rotate it so the slope makes a steep ramp up to the crate. This slope will be too steep to run up, but you can get most of the way up, and then launch yourself the rest of the distance by grabbing the ramp. Its hard to get the aim just right, but it should get you high enough to force-grab the balloon gun if nothing else.
Originally posted by Another Alternate Way (by AtomicFinjaMaster):
Theres another way to get to the Balloon Gun in streets, take the l a r g e triangle, and bring it under the ledge with the Boneworks crate, from there, you can flip the triangle in a way that lets you climb it all the way to the ledge with the crate, you may also need to set the triangle on another one of the blocks, I dont quite remember as it's been forever since I did that.
This one took me about 15 minutes to get. Play through the level up until the playroom. If you look up, you'll see a ledge with a BONEWORKS crate. Our goal is to get up there, break it, and grab whatever's in it.



First thing you'll want to do is tip the ramp over so it's leading up to the wall:



Run up the ramp and jump, or climb it by putting both hands on the ledge, crouching physically, and lifting yourself up. Mid-way through, crouch in-game if you haven't already.
Make your way to this light panel:



You can only grab onto the sides. Grab the panel and lift yourself on top using the method listed before. (TODO: video demonstration) Once on top, move forward and backwards to swing the platform until you can safely grab the side of the next one. Keep doing that until you reach the final ledge.



Once you're on the ledge, break the BONEWORKS crate and you'll have a brand new Balloon Gun!


Double-headed Axe
TODO: Prettify this!
After the play area, there's a hallway with a couple of doors leading to the left. The key can be found above you in a BONEWORKS crate. Either shoot it down or climb up the boxes.
Image Here

NPCs
Omni Wrecker
After getting the Balloon Gun (optional - I know that parkour's hard; I was tempted to give up), continue through the level to an alleyway where you encounter a soldier. Clear that area out and look behind the metal grate, further down the alley. A BONEWORKS crate!



You can either get to that crate by ballooning yourself to the top of the map and falling to it (beautiful view by the way...)



...or you can complete the puzzle and jump off the the edge to get to it. Break open the crate and voila!



Go into the street and get sucked up, or balloon yourself up and to the final Reclamation Bin. If you don't have the Balloon Gun, you'll have to run through the map again. Luckily, I don't think enemies respawn... maybe.

Lastly, the Reclamation Bin can be found in this area on the ground:



When you get there, don't wander off, otherwise you'll get jumped by Nullbodies. Drop the Balloon Gun and the NPC pill in.


NPCs
Turret
Thanks to Cranky CuckMan and KWVance!
This one is a little hard to get. You can find it on top of the gravity monument thing. You'll have to somehow spin the big one upside down, but when you do, it'll drop the BONEWORKS crate.

Runoff
Weapons
M4 (holo-sight)
At the Monomat™ Object Dispensing System, the bottom-right bin (costing 420 rounds) has an M4 with a holographic sight. I'm not very good at using the holo-sight, so I'd skip it, but here's what it looks like:



Spear
There are two known methods to this. The first is to parkour out of the map (safest), and the second (intended method) is to climb on the other side of a fence over an area.

Parkour Method
Good luck. I did some hardcore parkour to get myself out of the map, and phased through a building or two to get it. You'll want to find and go through this window:



It's inside the room with the glass windows. Climb on the blue pipe to the metal bars, shoot out the window, crouch while holding onto the center of the top bar, and grab the edge of the window. Do the crouch method detailed in one of the previous sections and get onto the roof. Now head away from the building and around all of the obstacles. Keep going until you see a long line of barriers glitching - that's the area you want to be. Go through one of the walls and head to the very end, where you'll find the BONEWORKS crate. Here's a video of the entire process:



Fence-climbing Method
Thanks to {{ x }} for finding this!
Go through most of the level until you get here:



Break the lock on the door and kill the soldiers. Do not drop into the next area—you cannot come back! Grab the other side of the fence and climb across to the other side.



Jump-climb onto the next ledge and get your gun out - more soldiers will spawn. Keep walking until the wall at the far end; you'll find a BONEWORKS crate there.


NPCs
Omni Turret
This can be found in the room above the button puzzle. I just jumped onto the platforms 'till the end, shot the BONEWORKS crate until it broke, and force-grabbed the NPC.

Sewers
Notes
This section is especially spooky for me. Not when I have the Nimbus Gun though! Hooray for noclip! You can get it at the end of the game. Save up your ammo!
Sorry for the lighting in this section by the way. :/

Weapons
Glock + Pipes + Pan
You can find a Glock, some pipes, and a pan in a small office behind a locked metal door:



MP5K + Night Vision
In the room with the wooden bridge (hard to miss), there's a weapons crate with an MP5K and a mag inside. Do be careful—some Nullbodies will spawn.



In the same room, to the right of the crate on a couch is a night vision headset.



Hammer + Sledgehammer + Purple Key
In the room you slide into, by two power-related thingies, you'll find a hammer and sledgehammer. The purple key is on top of a large pipe with some ammo. I don't know how to get up there - maybe shooting the ammo crate will knock it down?



Spiked Bat
I'm not entirely sure on how to get to the next section, but if you continue down the tunnel, you might run into a gate that requires the green key on the other side. I didn't spend enough time looking around for it, so... hehehe...
Well, the first room after the tunnel has another BONEWORKS crate. Inside is a spiked bat.



Spiked Bat
Spiked bat! Very nice! It's in the big room with the pit, up and to the left when you enter the room. There's a chain rope you can climb up. Beware though, there's a Headset (Headcrab) up there!



NPCs
Green Corrupted Ford
Once you have the purple key (see Weapons - SEWERS on where to find it), go through the door to the left of the orange-keyed door:



Continue through the tunnel (killing all the Nullbodies in the process) until you get to another BONEWORKS crate. Break it... and there you go!

Warehouse
Weapons
M4 (laser attachment)
It has my favorite attachment. The laser is 100% accurate—you don't even need to aim down the sight!
Probably not worth it for just this level (do know that you will have to fight soldiers near the end), unless you intend on throwing the stuff in the Reclamation Bin.
Cost: 3,000 Currency



?
Alternative title: 1911
You can find a couple of 1911's in the first warehouse. Getting in may or may not be easy - if you manage to get onto the roof, you can fall in through a skylight window. There's a Nullbody and a few Headsets in there.



NPCs
Headset Nullbody
This one is fairly easy to get. When you spawn, take out the Nullbody to the left and look back where you spawned. Look above the Monomat™ Object Dispensing System and you'll see a BONEWORKS crate.



Start off by climbing the light gray section of the wall - you can grab onto it. Move up and to the left, and grab onto the yellow pipe. Continue right then grab onto the next pipe. Head up, head right around the corner, and onto the top of the metal structure. Grab the next pipe, move left, up onto the next pipe, up onto the bits below the windows, onto the next pipe, up to the last pipe, and move yourself across. Here's a video demonstration:



Headset (Headcrab)
Thanks to Nea Is Life for spotting this one!
This next one can be a easy with good aim. It's above the tram at the end of the level.

Central Station
Weapons
Blades
First of all, find a weapon. Anything will work - you will have to fight a blue Nullbody. Go behind the spawn tram and look about 45 degrees up. Woah, a BONEWORKS crate! We like those. This will require a bit of climbing, but you can do it!



Tower
Weapons
Half Axe + Cleaver
To get both of these, progress the level until you get to the walk ways with the soldiers. Jump off and onto the ceiling of the starting room with the Monomat™ Object Dispensing System and blue key. Move to the next ledge down (facing the same area the door with Don't Open above is) and you'll find two BONEWORKS crates.



NPCs
Ford
You're Ford! Maybe? Maybe. You can find this by getting to the same floor as the bunch of soldiers and sprint-jumping on the ball. Sprint-jump onto the center square and there's a BONEWORKS crate!



Ford VR Junkie
You're Ford! Maybe? Maybe. How about Ford with a cool headset? Nah. You can find this by the end of the level, on top of a high ledge. Climb the yellow bars, shoot the BONEWORKS crate, and force-grab the pill.

Time Tower
The weapons in this section are hard to get, as you need to find a LOT of ammo. For cheating in ammo, check the Mag/Currency Cheating (Cheat Engine) section.

There are two Monomat™ Object Dispensing Systems in the beginning room of this level. The left contains normal weapons, and the right contains sandbox-oriented weapons. Starting from left to right, top to bottom:

Weapons
Dev Manipulator
A physics gun! It has two modes--AOE (Area Of Effect), which can be achieved by lightly holding down the trigger, and single-target, with a full press. You can also grab the ball on the back of the gun to rotate and shoot things.
Cost: 19,600



Utility Gun
Once you have the Utility Gun, you can spawn it any time from the menu. It lets you spawn in anything you've put in a Reclamation Bin, including NPCs, objects, gadgets, weapons, etc.
Cost: 22,100



Nimbus Gun
Like a noclip gun. You're noclipping while you're holding it.
Cost: 24,500




Power Puncher
This punches things really hard. Wow!
Cost: 12,500




Gravity Plate
Alternative title: Sticking Suction Cup
It's a single suction cup that sticks to whatever you attach it to, if you use both triggers on it. It makes whatever you're attaching it to weightless.
Cost: 15,000




Gravity Cups
Essentially suction cups.
Cost: 17,200




These items can be tossed into this Reclamation Bin, to the left of the lift:



Gravity Staff
The Gravity Staff is a long stick with a bulky end. Bringing it within close proximity to spheres will grab it, and keep a tight grip as long as you're holding the gravity staff. It can be found standing against some crates on the elevator.



Katana
You'd be best finding the Katana in a previous level.
The Katana can be found in a BONEWORKS crate on the ceiling, held up by some wood planks.



Yeah... way up there.



If you can afford it (I mean, you should), I'd recommend buying the ACOG rifle. At the very least, you'd be able to better target the box. Or buy the Glock and judge off of bullet hits.




Ugh.



There we go!

NPCs
Crablet Plus
The Crablet Plus pill can be found in BONEWORKS crate in a hole-in-the-wall cubby area. You must acquire the Nimbus Gun to be able to reach this area! Note: These only naturally appear in Arcade Mode.

Dungeon
Weapons
Norse Axe
The norse axe can be found on the table outside of your cell (to the left, where another Ford (not the first one you encounter) is standing behind).



Double Axe
You can find the double axe in the locked room next to your cell, up the hall. To get in there, simply push the bricks in the back of your cell (opposite of the door) outward. Slowly shimmy across the ledge and jump across the gap. In there you'll find a blue key (to get out), and a weapons crate with the battleaxe.



NPCs
Ford
Hey! It's Ford again! In your cell, look straight up. You'll see a bunch of metal bars lit up by a single red light:



Get out of the cell and drag a table below the hole:



Up here you can find the Reclamation Bin:



Going to the end of the hallway, across the pit is a BONEWORKS crate! Jump onto a set of rocks to the left and climb to it. There you go!

Thank you, Stress Level Zero!
This message can be found on top of the final video sphere.

I just wanna say, for the Tower, Ford VR Junkie, do not look up and think you're supposed to climb all the way up and use the longer overhead lights to shimmy over and jump down at the crate. The trigger for the level transition is at like the third rung down, so you'll get zooted to the next level instead of being able to jump to that crate.

Have problem, in tower level: box with half axe doesn't exist, but near that place openable gun create with blue m4 and from box with Ford NPC i collect half circle platform, idk what is going on

Aliceside Jul 11, 2022 @ 11:51am 
if i got the nimbus gun from monomat in time tower, could i no clip through the monomat and get the other items? itd be so frustrating having to play through the game melee only collecting 20k ammo 6 times to get everything
