Instructions — Dandy's World Item Guide: Effect, Price & Best Uses

Instructions is an **Uncommon, shop-exclusive consumable Item** in Dandy's World that doubles your extraction pace: on use — while extracting a Machine — it increases your **Extraction Speed by 100% for 10 seconds**. It's the strongest extraction burst among the Uncommon Items, effectively letting you complete a chunk of Machine progress twice as fast during the window. Like all extraction Items, it does nothing outside of a Machine, so it's a pure progress Item for the team's extractors. The community consensus: it's a high-value Item for pushing Machines through risky windows — the faster you finish, the less time Twisteds have to find you.

Quick Stats

How to Get	Shop only (shop-exclusive)
Best For	Fast Machine completion, risky extraction windows
Verdict	Strong extraction burst — speed through risky Machines

Effect Explained

Instructions' effect is **doubled extraction speed for 10 seconds**, and it only works **while extracting a Machine** — it cannot be used outside of one.

At +100%, your extraction progress ticks twice as fast during the window. That has two practical benefits. First, it shortens the time you spend standing at a Machine — less time exposed to patrolling Twisteds. Second, it lets you push a nearly-complete Machine over the finish line in seconds, which matters in Panic Mode or when a Twisted is heading your way. The 10-second window covers a solid portion of most Machines, especially if the team has already primed it. It's the extractor's version of a speed potion: short, potent, and timing-sensitive.
