The Bomb Glove was a weapon created by Gadgetron that enabled the user to throw a bomb at enemies from a short range. The bomb exploded when it had contact with an object, enemy or the ground. The Bomb Glove was the first weapon that Ratchet used in the series.

Ratchet & Clank
It was described to make a great gift and came as a freebie with Ratchet's Omniwrench. The weapon was first available when Ratchet was in Veldin.

Mega Bomb Glove
The Mega Bomb Glove was an upgrade to original Bomb Glove in Going Commando. It caused more damage when upgraded.

Gold Bomb Glove
When you purchased the Gold Bomb Glove, it had an increased range and caused larger explosions, which were accompanied with a green tint.

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
In Going Commando, the Bomb Glove was powerful against the early enemies faced in the Bogon Galaxy but weak later until you purchased the Mega Bomb Glove. The Mega Version was far more powerful and had every last aesthetic to it that the Gold Mine Glove had. Due to a glitch, the weapon dealt double damage, allowing one to even take down Chainblade without much hassle. The Bomb Glove in Going Commando was first available on Barlow.
