The [General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store), the [Bomb Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-shop) and the [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop) sell it, and [Crates](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/crate) hold it more often than anything but a [Rope Pile](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/rope-pile). ## Effect **Clip: Bombs and ropes picked up.** The player walks over a bomb bag, a rope pile and a bomb box, and his counts at the top of the screen go from 4 bombs and 4 ropes to 19 and 7. He throws a bomb ahead, walks back and throws a rope up, and each takes one from its count. ([video](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/media/clips/bombs-and-ropes/pickups/clip.mp4)) A free Bomb Bag is taken as soon as the player touches it, unless he's dead or stunned or the bag is inside a block: his bombs go up by 3, a flashing "+BOMB" rises from where the bag was, and the message "YOU GOT 3 MORE BOMBS!" shows[^1]. Paying for one, or carrying one out of its shop, does the same[^4]. A count above 99 is cut back to 99 at the start of his next step[^5]. In the clip, the player walks over a Bomb Bag, a Rope Pile and a [Bomb Box](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-box), and his bombs go from 4 to 7 at the bag[^6]. **Clip: Buying bombs in a Bomb Shop.** The player walks into a Bomb Shop on level 2 and its shopkeeper welcomes him. He picks up a bag of three bombs for $2500 and pays, and his bombs go from 4 to 7. ([video](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/media/clips/bomb-shop/buy/clip.mp4)) One for sale is picked up as any ware is, and stays in the player's hands: the [Shopkeeper](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shopkeeper) names it "A BAG OF 3 BOMBS" and its price, and the pay key buys it[^7][^8]. In the second clip, the player picks one up in a Bomb Shop on level 2, pays $2,500, and his bombs go from 4 to 7[^9]. ## Obtaining | Source | Chance | | | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | | [General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store) | 1 in 3 for each ware, once the rolls for a [Mattock](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/mattock), [Climbing Gloves](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/climbing-gloves) and a [Compass](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/compass) fail | [^10] | | [Bomb Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-shop) | 3 in 5 for each ware, or 3 in 4 once the level has a [Paste](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/paste) | [^11] | | [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop) | 1 in 4 for each try, once the rolls before it fail, and every ware whose twenty tries find no weapon the level hasn't got | [^12] | | A [Crate](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/crate) | 1 in 2, once every other item's roll, from a [Jetpack](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/jetpack)'s 1 in 500 to a [Parachute](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/parachute)'s 1 in 10, fails | [^13] | | The [Tutorial](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/tutorial)'s Crate | Always | [^3] | Each shop adds 10% of the base price for each level past the second[^14].

Bomb Bags aren't among the items buried in blocks, the [Dice House](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/dice-house)'s prizes or [Kali](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/kalis-favour)'s gifts[^17][^18]. In custom levels, it's the [level editor](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/level-editor)'s tile `.`[^19]. Carrying one out of a shop without paying adds its bombs and angers the Shopkeeper, as with any ware ([General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store#stealing))[^20]. ## Interactions - **[Bombs](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb).** An explosion throws a Bomb Bag aside, as it does most items, and knocks one out of the player's hands[^21]. The bag's bombs don't go off. - **Being stunned.** A stunned player doesn't take a bag he's lying on until he gets up[^22]. ## Tips - Near the cap, a bag adds what it can: at 97 bombs, one takes the count to 99, and the third bomb is lost. ## FAQ ### How many bombs are in a Bomb Bag in Spelunky Classic? 3. The pickup message says "YOU GOT 3 MORE BOMBS!", and the count can't go past 99. A [Bomb Box](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-box) holds 12. ### How much does a Bomb Bag cost in Spelunky Classic? $2,500 on level 2, the first with shops, and 10% of that more on each level after it, up to $5,750 on level 15. General Stores, Bomb Shops and Weapon Shops sell it. ### Where do you find Bomb Bags in Spelunky Classic? In shops, and in [Crates](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/crate): once every rarer item's roll fails, a Crate holds a Bomb Bag or a [Rope Pile](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/rope-pile) at even odds. The Crate in the [Tutorial](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/tutorial) always holds one. ### Do you have to carry a Bomb Bag in Spelunky Classic? No. A free one is used up as soon as the player touches it, adding its bombs to his count; only one for sale stays in his hands until he pays for it or carries it out of the shop. ## See also - **Related:** [Bombs and ropes](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bombs-and-ropes), [Bomb](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb), [Bomb Box](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-box), [Rope Pile](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/rope-pile), [Crate](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/crate) - **Damages:** [Damsel](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/damsel) ## References [^1]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:2020-2034`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L2020-L2034) [^2]: [`objects/oBombBag/create.gml:6`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oBombBag/create#L6) [^3]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:616`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L616) [^4]: [`scripts/scrStealItem.gml:68-79`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrStealItem#L68-L79) [^5]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:10-11`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L10-L11) [^6]: Clip [bombs-and-ropes/pickups](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-bag#clip-bombs-and-ropes-pickups) [^7]: [`objects/oBombBag/create.gml:6-8`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oBombBag/create#L6-L8) [^8]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:1359-1389`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L1359-L1389) [^9]: Clip [bomb-shop/buy](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-bag#clip-bomb-shop-buy) [^10]: [`scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:156-176`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrShopItemsGen#L156-L176) [^11]: [`scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:24-35`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrShopItemsGen#L24-L35) [^12]: [`scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:36-67`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrShopItemsGen#L36-L67) [^13]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:617-636`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L617-L636) [^14]: [`scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:179-191`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrShopItemsGen#L179-L191) [^15]: [`scripts/scrLevelGen.gml:240`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrLevelGen#L240) [^16]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:612-616`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L612-L616) [^17]: [`scripts/scrGenerateItem.gml:47-89`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrGenerateItem#L47-L89) [^18]: [`scripts/scrGetFavorMsg.gml:85-105`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrGetFavorMsg#L85-L105) [^19]: [`scripts/scrCreateTileObj.gml:297-302`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrCreateTileObj#L297-L302) [^20]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:541-557`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L541-L557) [^21]: [`objects/oExplosion/collision_oItem.gml:30-46`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oExplosion/collision_oItem#L30-L46) [^22]: [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:2020`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step#L2020) ### Source code - [`objects/oBombBag/create.gml`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oBombBag/create) - [`objects/oPlayer1/step.gml`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oPlayer1/step) - [`scripts/scrStealItem.gml`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrStealItem) - [`scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrShopItemsGen)
