"Used to set off a Tyrant's internal bomb device."
— Item examination

The Bomb Switch is an item in Resident Evil Outbreak File #2.[1]

Purpose[]

This item is a device used to set off a bomb implanted in the Tyrant R.[2] The bomb can be used at any point of the Tyrant's mutation, pre and post coat removal, and also on Nyx, but only once. After use, the switch is rendered useless.

To trigger the bomb, the player must be standing within a short distance of Tyrant and hold the trigger down until the beeping becomes high pitch and rapid (approximately 5-8 seconds), at which point it will detonate the bomb. This puts the player in danger, but the bomb's detonation will instantly defeat both forms of Tyrant and bring Nyx to its knees (but it's not enough to expose the weak spot). If the player is out of range or if the bomb has already been triggered, the switch won't make any noise.

Location[]

In all difficulties, the bomb switch is found in the Underground waterworks below the Umbrella R&D Center.
