All 113 Weapons and Tools and How to Get Them in Grounded

Grounded is a survival game where you shrink to the size of an insect in a backyard, and your weapons and tools are how you get by. They fight off bugs and other creatures, and they also break, cut, dig and gather the materials you need to build and craft. They're grouped into categories such as melee, ranged, shields, light sources and underwater gear.

How Weapons and Tools Work in Grounded

Weapons and tools overlap more than their names suggest. Many melee items can gather as well as fight, but each category is built around a main job, such as breaking open materials, digging up grubs or holding off creatures. The category is the quickest way to tell what an item is for before you craft it.

Every item also has a tier, from Tier 1 for the first things you can make up to Tier 3 for the strongest gear before New Game+. Moving up is the simplest way to get stronger. The Tier 4 items are the Infused weapons, which only appear in New Game+.

Melee Weapons: Combos, Speed and Stun

Melee weapons are the swords, daggers, spears and other items you swing or stab with at close range. Most have a three-hit combo, and the third hit does extra damage, so it pays to finish the combo instead of stopping after two swings. Daggers are the exception, with a shorter two-hit combo.

Each melee item has a speed rating and a stun value. Fast weapons such as daggers chain hits quickly but do less damage per swing. Heavy two-handed weapons swing slowly, but they stun enemies hard and hit hard. The big weapons also burn through stamina faster, so you may only get a handful of swings before you need a breather.

Many melee weapons carry an extra effect. Life Steal heals you when you hit, Poison and Bleed keep hurting enemies after the hit lands, and Crit Daze briefly slows enemy attacks after a critical hit.

Shields and Blocking

Shields are your defense. Every shield comes with a Defensive Stance, and the tougher ones add their own protection. The Fire Ant Shield helps block corrosion, and the Infected Ant Shield resists explosions. Most melee weapons can block too, but raising your guard cancels a swing you've already started.

Ranged Weapons and Explosives

Ranged weapons let you attack from a distance, and bows and crossbows are the most common kind. Bows deal more damage when you hold the shot until it's fully charged, while the Crow Crossbow can't be charged at all. Crossbows trade speed for power: they reload more slowly, but the stronger ones hit much harder per shot.

Staves are a different kind of ranged weapon. The Sour Staff, for example, hits a group with magic and can knock back enemies that charge at you. Each cast costs a lot of stamina, though, and the magic takes a moment to reach its target.

Ammo matters as much as the weapon, because each arrow or round changes what a shot does. Basic arrows are the everyday choice. Gas arrows leave a cloud that hurts enemies but can hurt you too. Pollen arrows slow enemies and stun flying bugs, and Lure arrows pull creatures toward a spot.

Explosives are thrown instead of fired. The Bratburst is the basic one. After a short timer, it blows up, damaging creatures nearby and clearing away grass, which makes it handy for gathering. The Splatburst is a sticky version that clings to the first thing it hits, and you make one by combining a Bratburst with sap and web fiber.

Busting, Chopping and Digging Tools

These three groups are the tools you'll reach for most when gathering. Busting tools, the hammers, break open natural materials. Chopping tools, the axes, cut through plants and other natural materials. Digging tools, the shovels, dig up grubs and harvest from the ground. Some melee weapons can gather in a pinch, but they are poor at breaking things, so keep a dedicated tool on hand.

Tiers matter for gathering too. The first hammer can already mine quartzite, a stone you find underground, and higher tiers work through tougher materials.

Underwater Weapons and Tools

The pond has its own set of gear. The Pebblet Dagger is the early option, used to gather pond plants like Eelgrass and to hold off creatures in the water. The Bone Dagger and Bone Trident are the sturdier picks, made from Sunken Bone, and the trident is built for fighting underwater.

Your choice of weapon matters more in the water. Spears and daggers are the reliable options, while swords and other heavy swinging weapons lose much of their punch under the surface. The Slime Lantern rounds out the set as the pond's light source, and it has an upgrade of its own.

Light, Repair and Misc Tools

Light tools go in your off hand, so you can carry a torch while you swing or shoot with your main hand. The basic Torch burns out over time, and the Torch+ upgrade lasts longer. The EverChar Torch is the one to keep, since it can keep going indefinitely as long as you keep up its repairs.

Repair tools are for buildings, not your gear. The Repair Tool fixes damaged structures but is no use as a weapon, and the Ant Queen Repair Tool mends buildings within a radius around you.

The Misc group is small. Decoy Bait draws off larger predators, and the two basketball items fill out the category.

Infused Weapons in New Game+

New Game+ is a harder replay where enemies and bosses come infused. The Infused weapons sit at Tier 4, the top of the range. Most weapon types have an infused version, from axes and blasters to spears and swords. Some don't, including elemental weapons such as the Salt Chipper and Breathslayer.

Infused weapons don't appear until New Game+4, and each one drops from a particular boss. The Wasp Queen is the source for the infused bows and crossbows, and the Hedge Broodmother is the source for the infused club and dagger. Each infused bow rolls two random effects when you get it, and those effects stay on the weapon. The bows and crossbows are among the strongest weapons of their class.

How to Get Weapons and Tools

Most weapons and tools unlock by analyzing materials at the Resource Analyzer. Once you analyze a material, the recipes for items that use it become available. Analyzing Lilypad Wax, for example, opens the Pebblet Dagger.

Brainpower is the second route. It rises as you analyze things, and reaching a set level unlocks items without any analysis at all. The early tools open at low levels, while the strongest tools wait for a much higher Brainpower level.

The third route is buying. The terminal in the Advanced System Library (ASL) sells some tools and upgrades for Raw Science, including the Mint Mace and the Torch+. Some good gear is hidden in the world instead, such as the Pinch Whacker, which sits in a crevice in the Berry Outpost.

Durability, Repairs and Upgrades

Weapons and tools wear down with use. A small meter beside each item shows how much life it has left, and when it runs out, the item breaks. A broken item stays in your inventory, so you can repair it or craft a new one, and repairing usually saves materials.

Each repair needs specific materials, and each item lists its own. They are usually the same kind of material the item is made from, so a broken dagger tends to ask for more of the parts it was built with. Keeping a few of those parts on hand saves a trip back out to gather them.

Most weapons and tools can also be upgraded at the Smithing Station to raise their damage and durability. Once a weapon reaches level 5, you can give it Fresh, Spicy, Salty or Sour damage if it doesn't already have one.

Which Weapons and Tools to Get First

Early on, the Pebblet hammer, axe, dagger and spear cover the basics. The Sprig Bow is the first ranged option, and the Insect Bow is the one most players find worth the effort, since it works with most arrow types.

In the middle of the game, the Black Ox Hammer and Termite Axe are the gathering picks, since they open or cut almost any natural material. The Black Ox Crossbow is the ranged pick for the same stage. The Weevil Shield is the usual first shield, with the Black Ant Shield as the next step up.

For melee, the Club of the Mother Demon hits hardest per swing among the blunt two-handed weapons, though it's slow.
