If you are looking for all the best gear in Grounded 2, you are in the right place. This guide will help you find all 19 unique weapons and trinkets in the game. Some of them are hidden in tricky places, some drop from tough bugs, and a few just take a bit of luck. We will walk you through where to find each one and what you will need to get them.
All 19 Unique Weapons and Trinkets Locations
Unique Weapons in Grounded 2 are special versions of regular weapons that you can find hidden in secret spots around the yard. It looks like they were made and left behind by someone called the Masked Stranger. These weapons are stronger than the normal ones and have cool, one of a kind effects you won’t find anywhere else. You can’t craft them, and there’s only one of each.
Trinkets are special items you can wear that give you helpful effects while you play, like extra damage, healing, or other boosts. You can only wear one at a time, and it goes in your “Accessories” slot. Below are all the 19 Unique Weapons and Trinkets Locations.
1. Heatwave
This one is located right in the centre of the Fire Pit, at the bottom. You need to be careful here; it is super hot down there. You will need protection from the heat, Sizzle Protection and a tier 2 Omni-Hammer to break through the charcoal blocking the way.
2. Ice Sickles
You can unlock the Ice Sickles by protecting the frozen ones stored in the ice cream cart. Just defend them successfully to get the reward.
3. Bushwackers
You will find the Bushwacker hidden in a hedge on the left side of Pine Hill. Climb up through the branches, reach the top, and cross over to a secret spot inside the hedge. It is on a leaf in a chest. Take an Orb Weaver Buggy to get there.

You can find this token inside the Snackbar Anthill. Head down the right path, go past the two pebbles, and you will find a chest with the token inside.
5. Gloom Weaver
The Gloom Skewer is a powerful upgraded spear, great for taking down ants and cockroaches. It’s located deep within the Toxic Anthill, but be prepared the Cockroach Queen is watching over it.
To get there, head to the South Entrance of the Toxic Anthill, which is in the Snackbar Front area. Once you are inside, take the first left and follow the tunnel. Keep going until you reach a room with two spray cans and a donut hanging near the ceiling. Exit that room by taking a right, then carefully make your way through the pesticide puddles ahead.
Eventually, you will reach a staircase leading up to a big cavern. You should spot the Cockroach Queen walking around inside. After you defeat her, look around the cavern for a small nook that’s blocked by mushrooms. Chop them down, and you will find the Gloom Skewer waiting for you inside.
6. Scarlet Aegis Shield
One of the Stranger’s covert lairs contains a special shield called the Scarlet Aegis. It comes with two useful perks: Heavy Shield, which lets you fully block damage while using less stamina, and Parry Buggie Heal, which heals nearby buggies when you land a Perfect Block.
To find it, head to the Ceremony region and look for a tunnel entrance just south of the giant microphone. Go inside, but be prepared there are scorpions in the tunnel, along with marble and quartzite you can collect along the way. Keep an eye out for a cracked wall down a side path on the right. Blow it open to reveal a hidden room. Inside, you will see a chest on the left side of the room that’s where you will find the Scarlet Aegis.

The Crimson Avenger is a sword specially designed to take down spiders, and you will find it hidden deep inside the Spider Den Anthill. It’s actually tucked away in something called the Memorial Crate.
To get there, start at the North Entrance of the Spider Den Anthill, which is in Pine Hill near the Worm Holes candy container. Once inside, go straight through the first two intersections. At the third one, take a right into a room filled with spider eggs. Look to the right side of that room you will see a hole. Head through it and take the stairs up.
Keep following the path, and it will eventually lead you into the Memorial Crate. Inside, look around the base of the crate near a Hot Chacha candy that’s where the Crimson Avenger is.
