I have tons of these and have never used them. Which toolbox and what other add-ons should I use when bringing this?

    Commodious Toolboxes are generally considered the best option, but you can make use of any Toolbox and still get a lot of value from BNPs

    it doesn't technically matter because the BNP on its own shaves off a fixed amount of time

    however, BNP is best when paired with a toolbox that shaves a lot of time off gens because the more gen speed you stack, the easier it is to knock out one gen

    as @DragonMasterDarren said, the best option is a Commodious Toolbox (or one of the event variants) when paired with the spool of wire add-on (+12 charges) because that chops an additional 14 and 2/3 seconds (!!!!!) off of gen time for a total of just under half a minute of time saved

    I also like to pair it with Deja Vu because then you can find where the closest 3gen is and use it to quickly eliminate that, making it easier to address the other gens more slowly

    Commodious or Anniversary w Socket Swivels for speed boost is the best option w BNP.

    I also have a surplus of BNP’s and Engineer’s Toolboxes, which are the second best option to Commodius, imo, when coupled w Wire Spool for extra charges since Engineer’s boxes already have pretty good speed value.

    just so you know, commodious with wire spool is slightly better than swivel socket - SS saves 14.222... seconds, but WS saves 14.666... seconds. also, since toolboxes give you greater skill check chances, WS lasts longer, giving you more chances to get great skill checks

    Generally, Commodious toolbox with Wire Spool as your second addon would be your best option. The impact from the BNP itself will be the same no matter which toolbox you use though.

    It used to actually make a difference which toolbox you put a BNP on because old BNPs used up some toolbox charges while being installed so how much time a BNP really saved you compared to what you would get from that toolbox without it would vary, but that isn’t the case anymore.
