Similar to its prequel, Grounded 2 offers players the opportunity to explore the world of small beings and insects. The latest version is still in early access, but it seems quite promising so far, with all the latest additions and features. We are expecting the game to be up to the mark after its full release by Obsidian Entertainment. Apart from other interesting things, there are also noteworthy weapons that give the player an edge while ensuring survival. We are going to discuss 2 such weapons, namely, Pinch Whacker and Northern Shredders.
Grounded 2: How to find Pinch Whacker and Northern Shredders?
Pinch Whacker
The Pinch Whacker has been previously used in Grounded and returns in Grounded 2. It is at the north end of the map by the fire pit. There you should find a bright purple cola can. There should be a cave nearby, the entrance to which can be identified by a purple mark on a rock on the right side. Walk to the end of the cave, and behind the box, there should be an entrance covered by a rock. A splat burst or brat burst will be needed, so craft either of the bombs in advance. Throw a bomb to open up the entrance and walk inside the room to find three collectibles. First is a chest with some resources, second is the whacker arm, and third, a milk molar in the corner of the room.
Northern Shredders
Northern shredders are an upgraded version of mitey claws. Its recipe mentions combining northern scorpions and caterpillars for crafting the item. The recipe can be located with the help of the following guidelines. After getting to the Brook Hollows, there is a cave entrance on the right side. The access to the cave is blocked by roots. You will be guided here to protect your base, so get inside after removing the roots with the help of your buggie.
There will be an orc northern scorpion that you need to defeat to retrieve the chip. While getting the chip, there should be a piece of paper on the right side that has the cryptic recipe of the northern shredders. The critical hit of this weapon has the option to use venom that would require northern scorpion chunk, scorpion venom, silk rope, and spine nub for crafting. It has considerable speed and stun effect, and introduces the use of venom quite early in the game.
That will be all about the locations of Pinch Whacker and Northern Shredders. In case it becomes difficult to locate, here is a YouTube video that will give a better idea of the surroundings. Visit Digistatement for more interesting facts and a guide about the upcoming game, Grounded 2.
