I'm thinking of bringin some bombs down to the ammo factory. but I'm pretty sure that there could be some dire consequences in use.

Anyone have suggestions? I have a Master Blast bomb which is on it's way to Nitro, A Freezing and Toxic atomizer that are next in line to 5*, and a shard bomb. Also have a bid on a fiery mk2.

The big question is whether the vapes set off switches. If they do, they're a horrible idea. If they don't....well, a Shivermist and a Tempest could make that whole set of levels a whole lot easier.

The haze does not trigger

The haze does not trigger world interactions (i.e. bush breaking, switches activating), so you won't have to worry about that.
The small damage explosion at the center can though, so just make sure not to stand up next to a switch when placing.

This. That's correct. That room with the eternally respawning retrode, scuttlebot and mecha knight (where you have to switch barriers to break blocks with missiles) right before the lasers leading up to the elevator to the twins is easily solved with a shivermist/freezing atomizer. The new spawns don't drop coins as far as I'm aware, and it's just easier to keep them frozen.

I don't think I'd be going

I don't think I'd be going down without at least 3 people in a group, as I just...don't like it enough. The 2nd boss room is not so bad when you have people standing on the spawn nodes to keep mobs from showing up.

It may be a godsend in the twins room. I can just stay by the switcher and keep everything frozen next to them.
