Broken Bones IV Best Abilities & Items (June 2026) — Top 10 Ranked

Broken Bones IV is the classic Roblox ragdoll game where you fling yourself off ledges, shatter as many bones as possible, and cash in the carnage for upgrades. The difference between 50 broken bones and 500 comes down to which abilities and items you buy. Quick answer: the Bone Multiplier upgrade is the single best purchase, and Firework is the best ability.

This guide ranks the top 10 abilities, items, and upgrades for June 2026, with the combo that guarantees Brain Damage every fall. If you want a ranked breakdown of every map and perk instead, see our Broken Bones IV tier list.

The Top 10 Best Abilities & Items

Rankings weigh how much each item raises your bones-per-run, how early it pays for itself, and how well it fits the high-impact combos the community runs. We're counting down to number one.

10. Helicopter Hat

Helicopter Hat is a utility that gives you controlled descent and a bit of hover. On its own it doesn't break bones, but it lets you line up the exact angle and surface you want before you commit to a fall. It's a setup tool, which is why it sits at the bottom of the list rather than off it.

9. Gravity Bubble

Gravity Bubble messes with your fall physics for a brief window, letting you reposition mid-air. Like the other utilities, it upgrades through the Utility Fuel upgrade. It's situational, but for trick shots into awkward rocky corners it earns its slot.

8. Rocket Boots

Rocket Boots launch you off the ground for extra height, which means a longer fall and more speed on the way down. More height is more potential bones, so this is a solid mobility pick once your damage abilities are sorted.

7. Jetpack

The Jetpack is the best of the pure mobility utilities. It gives you the most control over where and how high you go, so you can set up the maximum-height drops the big combos depend on. Buy it after your core abilities, then fuel it up through upgrades.

6. Smackdown

Smackdown slams your ragdoll straight down for a single high-impact hit. It's the finisher in most combos — the move that turns a fast fall into a bone-shattering landing. By itself it's good; chained after a Firework and Dart it's brutal.

5. Sprung

Sprung bounces your body back up the instant it touches a surface, creating multiple impacts from one fall instead of stopping dead on the first hit. Activate it around 30 meters from your target and it keeps you slamming repeatedly. It's the single biggest multiplier on impacts per run.

4. Flight Control (Upgrade)

Flight Control is the upgrade that, at higher levels, lets you actually steer and even fly your ragdoll into the perfect position. It turns every utility you own into a precision tool, so it's the upgrade that ties your whole kit together once it's leveled.

3. Dart (and Dart 2)

Dart drives you downward at high speed, and that speed is exactly what converts into broken bones on landing. The upgraded Dart 2 pushes the numbers even higher. The classic high-speed combo is to jump off, activate Dart around 225 meters up, and aim your head at a rocky surface. It's the acceleration half of every big play.

2. Firework (and Firework 2)

Firework bursts you upward or forward for a huge speed boost, flinging your ragdoll into the ceiling or across the map. Firework 2 is even stronger — pair it with Dart and Sprung and you'll break a staggering number of bones in one run. It's the opener that makes everything else possible, which is why it ranks just below the upgrade that multiplies all of it.

1. Bone Multiplier (Upgrade)

The Bone Multiplier upgrade is the best purchase in the entire game. Every other item on this list raises how many bones you break; Bone Multiplier raises how much cash each broken bone is worth. That means it pays for itself faster than anything else and compounds on every single run afterward.

Because the whole game is a feedback loop — break bones, earn cash, buy power, break more bones — the multiplier sits at the center of it. Maxing Bone Multiplier early funds every ability and utility below it. If you buy one thing first, buy this.

The Best Bone-Breaking Combo

Owning the items is half the battle — chaining them is the other half. The community's go-to high-score sequence is reliable and easy to learn.

Before you hit the ground, fire off Firework to build height and speed, then chain Dart, Smackdown, and Sprung. Done in that order, the combo guarantees Brain Damage and triggers Ligmatization when your timing is clean. The Firework launches you, Dart accelerates the descent, Smackdown drives the impact, and Sprung bounces you for extra hits.

For a pure speed run, there's a simpler version: jump off, activate Dart at around 225 meters with your head pointed at a rocky surface, then hit Sprung or your slam ability about 30 meters from the ground. Once you've got Firework 2 and Dart 2, the same pattern produces even bigger numbers.

Honorable Mentions

A few items didn't crack the top 10 but still pull their weight depending on how you play.

The Sprain Multiplier upgrade boosts the value of sprains the same way Bone Multiplier boosts breaks — a strong second-tier money upgrade once your main multiplier is high. Obliterate is a heavy-hitting slam variant that some players prefer over Smackdown for the final impact. And the basic mobility upgrades like speed, jump height, bounce, and reduced friction quietly raise your ceiling across every run, so don't ignore them once the big purchases are done.
