Current job details

Bomb Disposal keeps the regular powers of a Police Officer. Completed missions give Arrest Points and Explosives. Explosives can be traded through F7 or used in F9 to craft ammunition. VIP adds 20% to the Explosives reward, rounded down, and hourly Double Earnings doubles it. No Explosives are paid over the hourly earn limit; job experience continues.

Use /stats to see how many bombs you have defused. The F5 Police Computer shows your Bomb Disposal level.

Bomb Disposal skin IDs are 1009, 1115, 1120, 1121, and 1122.

The separate LSPD ped mission Can you defuse a bomb? has no puzzle. Kill the guards, then approach within 5 metres on foot for the defusing animation. It pays $15,000 worth of Explosives using Average in F7 > Sell. The quantity varies with that value. This is not cash and is separate from the normal Bomb Disposal job rewards above. See Ped Missions.

Puzzle timer

The Bomb Disposal job puzzle starts with 120 seconds on the timer.

Arrest Points and the F5 label

Bomb Disposal awards Arrest Points. Law Points and Arrest Points are the same statistic; the F5 Police Computer labels it Law Points.
