Uses[]

Fireworks serve no practical purpose and are mainly used for entertainment. Once placed in the world, either on the ground or in a Tier 1 slot, they can be activated by hovering the cursor over the item and holding the use key (PC: F, Xbox: Xbox One - Y, PS4: PS4 - Triangle, Switch: Switch - X), placing it in the backpack's or a vehicle's activation slots and pressing the corresponding activation key (for PC: C or V, Xbox: Xbox One - LB or Xbox One - RB, PS4: PS4 - L1 or PS4 - R1, Switch: Switch - L or Switch - R), or by using an activation item such as Sensors or Repeaters. When activated, they will launch upwards and explode, creating a red ball of particles.

For the achievement "Baby You're a Firework" you must launch 10 fireworks in 10 seconds. Because it is tricky to launch them manually in 10 seconds you can use these tricks:

  • attach 8 Fireworks to the front and rear connectors of a Large Rover and the remaining 2 to the tool slots of your Backpack (top left and right). Now hop inside the vehicle and press the left and right use keys C and V. Exit the rover with F and hit the left/right use keys again.
  • Or build 2 Large Sensor Rings, attach the fireworks to their Reaction Slots and activate both.

If any repeaters are used to activate the fireworks the player will not receive the achievement.
