In Grounded 2, some of the best weapons aren’t just handed to you; you have to go out and find them. These secret weapons come with special perks, stronger stats, and cool designs that make them stand out from regular gear. But getting your hands on them won’t be easy. They’re often hidden in tricky spots or guarded by powerful enemies. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly where to find these hidden treasures and how to get them.
Secret Weapon Locations in Grounded 2
Secret weapons are powerful gear with special perks, boosted stats, and a cool, unique look. They’re hidden all over the map, usually tucked away in hard-to-reach spots or guarded by tough bosses. If you’re looking to upgrade your arsenal, here’s where you can find these hidden weapons.
Gloom Skewer
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’re 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’ll 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’ll find the Gloom Skewer waiting for you inside.
Crimson Avenger
The Crimson Avenger is a sword specially designed to take down spiders, and you’ll 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’ll see a hole. Head through it and take the stairs up.
Keep following the path, and it’ll 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 waiting.
Scarlet Aegis
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’ll see a chest on the left side of the room that’s where you’ll find the Scarlet Aegis.
