How to Make an Atomic Bomb in Your Garden Class Guide

Introduction to Classes

In How to Make an Atomic Bomb in Your Garden, your choice of class defines your entire playstyle. Each class comes with a unique set of skills, resource-gathering methods, and risk profiles. Whether you prefer stealthy procurement or aggressive fundraising, there is a class for you. This guide breaks down every available class, their strengths, and how to use them effectively.

The Scavenger Class

The Scavenger specializes in finding rare parts and materials without spending much money. This class is ideal for players who enjoy exploration and careful planning.

• Core Ability: "Junk Radar" – Highlights nearby usable components on the mini-map.
• Passive Bonus: 20% chance to find an extra part when looting.
• Best For: Players who want to avoid drawing attention from neighbors or federal agents.

Scavengers excel at the early game, where finding the right screws and wiring can be a challenge. You will spend most of your time searching garages, junkyards, and abandoned sheds.

The Hustler Class

The Hustler is all about raising funds quickly. If you want to buy your way to nuclear success, this is the class for you.

• Core Ability: "Quick Cash" – Unlocks special side-jobs that pay well.
• Passive Bonus: 15% more currency from all sources.
• Best For: Players who prefer a direct, high-risk approach.

Hustlers must manage their reputation carefully. Taking too many shady jobs can attract the attention of the authorities. For more on managing your resources, see our Resource Management Guide.

The Technician Class

The Technician focuses on efficiency and quality. This class can build components faster and with fewer materials.

• Core Ability: "Blueprint Mastery" – Reduces part requirements for all bomb components by 10%.
• Passive Bonus: Crafting speed increased by 25%.
• Best For: Players who want a streamlined, technical playthrough.

Technicians are the best class for players aiming for a perfect build. They can create higher-quality parts that reduce the chance of a catastrophic failure.

The Socialite Class

The Socialite uses charm and manipulation to get what they want. This class can convince neighbors and even agents to look the other way.

• Core Ability: "Silver Tongue" – Bribe or persuade NPCs to ignore suspicious activity.
• Passive Bonus: Reduced suspicion gain from all actions.
• Best For: Players who want a peaceful, diplomatic run.

Socialites have a unique playstyle that involves building relationships. You can learn more about NPC interactions in our Mechanics Guide.

The Recluse Class

The Recluse is a high-risk, high-reward class that operates entirely in secret. They have the lowest suspicion rates but suffer from slower resource gathering.

• Core Ability: "Hidden Workshop" – Your base is invisible to all patrols.
• Passive Bonus: 30% less noise generated from all activities.
• Best For: Experienced players seeking a stealth challenge.

Recluses must be self-sufficient. They cannot rely on shops or social interactions, so careful planning is essential. This class pairs well with the Prestige System.

1. Phase 1: Stockpile

   Gather all basic materials before starting any construction.

2. Phase 2: Silent Assembly

   Build during nighttime hours to avoid detection.

3. Phase 3: The Final Countdown

   Execute your plan when suspicion is at zero.

Best Class for Beginners
