Dispatch is a superhero comedy where the player takes on the role of a dispatch agent, sending specific people out to complete jobs. Each superhero has specific stats, powers, and traits that need to be considered, as well as a random chance of failing a job, as they’re still fallible and can screw up a mission, even though they might be the right person.
The Escapist recaps

- The game is released in episodes, with four available as of the time of writing.
- Dispatch has an all-star voice cast, with Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul in the lead role, as well as Laura Bailey and Matt Mercer.

When does the bomb mission appear in Dispatch?
The Dispatch bomb mission will appear during the first shift of Episode 4. It’s called “Nostalgically Yours,” and up to three heroes can be sent on the mission. The task’s premise involves a box of retro video games being dropped off at a store, but one of them has a bomb hidden inside it.
Once the hero reaches the mission site, they’ll get a list of three games: The Wolves Inside Us, Manbomber, and Jasper’s 2.5D Adventure 2: The Return. You get one chance to pick the correct one, with no clues on where it could be hidden.
(For those unaware, The Wolves Inside Us is a reference to The Wolf Among Us, which was developed by Telltale Games. This is an intentional reference, as Dispatch is developed by AdHoc Studio, founded by veterans of Telltale, along with the writers and directors of The Wolf Among Us. Apparently, its sequel is still on the way, and should be released shortly before the heat death of the universe. )
What game is hiding the bomb in Nostalgically Yours?
The Dispatch bomb is hidden within The Wolves Inside Us, which will bring up a solution prompt with multiple options for getting rid of the bomb. Selecting either of the other two will result in a loss, and you won’t be able to repeat the mission. You can skip the selection prompt by bringing a specific hero for the job, detailed in the section below.
There are two solutions for getting rid of the bomb: Destroy it (requiring 7 Combat) or deactivate it (requiring 7 Intellect). Depending on your stat spread for your team, the Dispatch characters that are the best choices for this mission are Sonar, Prism, or Golem, outside of one other hero who can nail it in one go.
How to easily complete the bomb mission in Dispatch Episode 4
There’s a guaranteed way to complete Nostalgically Yours without needing to make any checks. If you have Flambae, then he can instantly solve the issue with his powers. Make sure he’s not busy with any other activities throughout the first dispatch section, and wait for Nosalgically Yours to appear on the list.
Flambae, as his name suggests, has fire-based powers and is able to absorb heat. Using his flame abilities, he can instantly defuse the bomb by destroying it and the game, with no harm to himself or others.
Mecha Man and Flambae don’t get on, owing to the beef they had in the past, which came to blows. That being said, they’re still professionals, and Flambae will complete the bomb disposal mission as needed.

Fans won’t be waiting long for the future Dispatch chapters, as the game is using a weekly release structure, like the TV shows of old. The Dispatch release for Episode 5 & 6 is November 5, while Episode 7 & 8 will be released on November 12.
That will depend on the response to the first season. The available chapters have been critical darlings, so if it sells well, then we’ll likely return to this universe in the future. The story is still playing out, so it’s unclear exactly how another season would play out. That being said, plenty of superheroes have been killed, wiped from existence, and removed from the timeline itself, and still came back for the sequel.
There’s no confirmation of more Dispatch ports. However, the game isn’t exactly a hardware hog, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t come to more platforms in the future. Chances are, they will get branded as complete editions when the full game is out, or maybe with some unannounced post-story DLC.
There’s currently no word on a physical version of Dispatch, though that might change when all of the episodes have been released. There is a deluxe edition available with a comic book, but that’s also digital. It’s the kind of game that feels tailor-made for a fancy collector’s edition with a physical comic, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for a future release.
That is the ultimate question all Dispatch fans are currently asking themselves. However, it’s too early to say. One of them could always pull a Terra from Teen Titans and betray the team further down the line.
