In Grounded 2, building and upgrading weapons is vital because you’ll face enemies that get tougher as you progress. Many creatures have specific weaknesses, like being vulnerable to heat or cold, so you might need to customize your weapons for different fights.
Whether you like melee weapons such as spears or clubs, or prefer using bows and arrows from a distance, Grounded 2 offers many options. Upgrading your gear requires gathering plenty of resources, but it’s worth the effort especially when dealing with intimidating bugs. Here’s a list of all the weapons you can craft or find in Grounded 2.
Many weapons are craftable using resources scattered around the park, while some are hidden through exploration. You can create one-handed, two-handed, ranged, or dual-wield weapons, as well as shields, turret ammo, and candy-based staves.
If a weapon isn’t showing up at your workbench, you probably haven’t unlocked it yet with Brainpower. To unlock new weapons, you need to increase your Brainpower by analyzing resources. The more you research, the better your weapons will become.
It’s recommended to carry at least one melee and one ranged weapon, giving you versatile options in battles. Below is a breakdown of weapons by type to help you find or craft the ones you want.
