Summary

• Powerful weapons like the Black Ox Hammer and Antlion Greatsword offer high damage and stun effects for tough battles.
• Defeat challenging bosses like the Hedge Broodmother for materials to craft top-tier weapons like the Club Of The Mother Demon.
• Elemental weapons like the Spicy Staff and Frosted Flake offer unique effects and high damage potential.

Grounded has many useful weapons that you can craft throughout your journey. Some choices will be mainstays in defending your precious camp throughout your adventure, while other weapons will provide invaluable as you approach the end game and the difficult ๊challenges that await you.

Tools crafted from boss parts, for example, are some of Grounded's best weapons; however, it takes a lot of effort and skill to be able to acquire the necessary materials to craft them. Some of these powerful weapons should serve as an important goal to aim for before you go searching for the strongest enemies that you will encounter. These are the best weapons in Grounded, and what materials you'll need to craft them.

Updated April 26, 2024, by Andrew Scariati: The Fully Yoked update shook up Grounded's best weapons with additional elemental options and new weapon types. This influx of choices puts the title of Grounded's best weapon up for grabs, with several contenders vying for the crown.

Since certain added weapons share the exact stats of other "twin" weapons, they are grouped in their own combined entries.

17 Black Ox Hammer 💙

If you're looking for a powerful hammer, then you can look no further after finding the Black Ox Hammer because it packs quite the punch for any animal or insect hit by it. Additionally, it has a powerful stun effect that can mean the difference between winning or losing a battle.

It even doubles as a useful bashing tool that will help you break down Quartzite and Marble deposits throughout the world. However, it's a slow weapon compared to many others, so remember that it won't be a prudent choice against several bugs at once.

16 🐽 🐼 Antlion Greatsword

The Antlion Greatsword is another powerful sword that you can obtain in Grounded. It's a greatsword, so it's a slow weapon in general, but upon hitting an enemy, it deals massive damage that can rival many other weapons in the game.

If you want to craft the Antlion Greatsword, then you need to collect the materials above, which is quite the task. Even so, it's a worthwhile investment if you want to create a powerful sword that you can use to fight even the strongest bugs.

15 Club Of The Mother Demon ꦑ

The Club Of The Mother Demon doesn't just have a fantastic name; it's also one of the strongest weapons or tools in the Backyard. To obtain it, you'll have to defeat the Hedge Broodmother boss, wꩲho is one of the strongest enemies in the game, and also has a powerful set of attacks that you should know about before attempting this challenge.

If you're using a melee weapon while fighting this powerful spider boss, then you should be prepared to block its attacks, because otherwise, you'll be defeated quickly. The Broodmother moves quickly while jumping occasionally, and it's important to note that you can't leave the boss room until the spider is defeated, or you die, so make sure to come prepared.

After defe❀ating the Broodmother, you can craft the Club Of The Mother Demon with the materials😼 you obtain.

14 ಌ Tick Macuahuitl

The Tick Macuahuitl is an excellent weapon blessed with the Life Steal effect and a very quick swing speed. Despite their low amount of HP-sapping per hit, Life Steal weapons are able to attack quicker than other weapons, giving them a𒈔 bit of an edge whe𒁏n it comes to Damage Per Second (DPS).

As long as you are connecting with your slashes, these hits will quickly add up, restoring your health by the chunk with every few seconds of furious slicing. As a slashing weapon, the Scimitar offers decent range, but rewards being up close and personal with your target due to the sword's somewhat fickle hitbox.

13 Black Ox Crossbow 🐻

The Black Ox Crossbow stands alone as the best bow weapon in Grounded. I🐲t iꦜs a straight upgrade to the Crow Crossbow and deals more damage, but does not possess any other special effects or elemental damage.

All of its required items can be found in mid-to-late game areas, particularly around the toolbox, but be careful venturing near it, as a dangerous Black Widow Spider lurks in a cave nearby. Black Ox Beetles are also no joke to deal with on your own, so prepare plenty of health-restoring items and your best shield to block most of the damage while you're harvesting parts.

12 ꦏ Toenail Scimitar ܫ

Grounded weapons can get quite goofy, and this sword's design is living proof. The Toenail Scimitar boasts a powerful Infection effect. Enemies afflicted by infection will have their attack speed and damage reduced by ten percent with each hit.

With the Toenail Scimitar's quick swing speed, you'll be sure to inflict Infection quickly, and easily reapply it when needed. Its overall swing damage leaves something to be desired, but luckily, this weapon's DPS doesn't detract from its overall usability.

Apply your infection and switch weapons to bump up the overall efficiency of your slaying. Your enemies won't have the ability to strike back after they're Infected.

11 🍒 Elไemental Staves

The elemental staves are quite fun weapons to use and offer an alternative projectile weapon if you aren't a big fan of bows or crossbows. While you may have a particular preference for staff based on its damage type, visual effects, or a desired enemy to use it against, each one is fairly even in performance.

However, in general, the Spicy Staff provides the most benefits as it💜 can launch Spicy Blobs which explode and damage enemies over time, plus can cook them due to its intrinsic Spicy damage. The Mint and Sour Staves are best used on enemies that are weak to each type. Every staff provides a fun way to mix things up, so give them all a try to choose a favorite.

10 Tiger 🌳Mosquito Rapier ꦍ

The Tiger Mosquito Rapier is among the best weapons in Grounded if you aren't able to stack up healing items in your inventory for a long journey. This rapier possesses the Life Steal special effect, which will heal you for six percent of the damage you deal with each hit.

Though the percentage isn't much, the weapon's speed will allow you to knock off chunks of enemy health while restoring your own.

Unfortunately, Tiger Mosquitos are somewhat difficult to find as they inhabit late-game areas, so you'll have to progress through the story a bit to access the materials you'll need. That aside, once you get your hands on this, keep it close, as many of the more difficult enemies will require you to stay healthy in the face of their highly-damaging attacks.

9 🅷 The Elemental Katanas 𒀰

The elemental katanas are excellent options if you like swords, and some of Grounded's best weapons to use for style and function. These swords not only offer high damage, but each weapon has a unique glow when you equip it, which is a fun visual effect.

The Spicy Coaltana can even cook Aphids and Weevils immediately as you defeat them, wh🍌ich is a fantastic and much-appreciated detail that will sav🅰e time on trips back to camp.

If you want a strong sword that you can acquire fairly easily in your first playthrough, you can't go wrong using the Spicy Coaltana. However, the Sour Katagna only 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:becomes available in New Game Plus, while the Fresh Coldtana unlocks in the third New Game Plus.

8 Widow Dagger𝔍

The Widow Dagger is highly sought-after for its deadly Poison-inཧflicting effect. As a Dagger, this weapon benefits from the Assassin mutation which will inflict the Bleed effect on your target, stacking nicely wi💎th the Poison effect for massive damage.

However, the materials needed to craft this weapon are excep🌟tionally rare – Super Spider Venom can only be acquired by kill🅠ing Black Widow Spiders, but they only have a small chance to drop with each kill.

Build up plenty of Black Widow Fangs, so you can eventually make multiple copies for you and your friends because you'll likely be hunting that Super Spider Venom for quite a while.
