Whether you’re a seasoned backyard survivor or venturing out for the first time, hunting down unique gear can mean the difference between thriving and getting stomped by giant insects. This guide compiles every currently known unique item in Grounded 2, from one-of-a-kind weapons to elusive trinkets—detailing exactly where and how to find them.
Unique Weapons – Where to Find the Best Gear
There are 18 known unique items in Grounded 2 at the time of writing. These weapons are often hidden behind environmental challenges, locked in chests, or protected by powerful foes. Here’s how to get them:
One-Handed Weapons
Crimson Avenger
This sword is found in the Memorial Crate within the Spider Den Anthill. It’s stuck inside a lump of chewed gum, so you’ll need a Tier-2 Omni-Shovel to dislodge it.
Gloom Skewer
At the bottom of the Toxic Anthill, this darkly appearance dagger is guarded by the powerful Cockroach Queen. Mushrooms must be pushed aside to access it, and a Tier-2 Omni-Axe is needed to do so.
Pinch Whacker
Located in an O.R.C. Cave to the north of the Fire Pit, the Pinch Whacker can only be reached after blasting through a Cracked Rock with explosives. Have some bombs handy.
Shields
Scarlet Aegis
This tough shield is found in an O.R.C. Cave between a large rock and the podium of Ceremony Area. Accessing it requires explosives and a Red Soldier Ant Buggy to safely drive over terrain.
Dual-Wield Weapons
Ice Sickles
These frosty blades are acquired by winning a defense event within the Ice Cream Cart. You need to defend Frozen Ice Sickles successfully in order to make them your own.
Bows
Bushwacker
Climb through the hedge on the left side of Pine Hill, walking along branch paths to arrive at a hidden inner section. There, on a leaf, you’ll discover a chest with the Bushwacker bow. Getting to this location takes the assistance of an Orb Weaver Buggy to navigate the branches safely.
Candy Staves
Heat Wave
This weapon is buried beneath the blazing Fire Pit’s center. You’ll need heat protection—such as Sizzle Projection gear—to survive the area. Additionally, a Tier-2 Omni-Hammer is required to smash through the blocking charcoal.
Trinkets and Artifacts – Unique Enhancements
Trinkets in Grounded 2 can provide critical passive buffs and bonuses. Some are locked behind environmental puzzles, while others drop at random from creatures or destructible objects.
Fixed-Location Trinkets
Myrmecologist Token
Hidden deep within the Snackbar Anthill, this token stretches out the right tunnel, beyond two pebbles. A chest at the terminus holds your reward.
Eco Exploitation Token
You can find this relic on the body of Employee 211, hidden away in the Spider Den Anthill. Look carefully—his corpse is simple to overlook.
