Best Weapons in Grounded

Below we have put together overall the best weapons in Grounded. We totally understand that our top 10 weapons may not be the “best” to what others think but we have formed a top 10 of the best weapons for all situations on your adventure,

The aim of our top 10 best weapons is to benefit you and your team more than just kill things easy. We have taken into account many things before creating this list, such as crafting materials cost, utility, accessability and of course damage. A prime example is the Sour Battle-Axe, it is extremely powerful against enemies that are weak to Sour but also you can use this for chopping and is cheap to craft for such an insane weapon!

Red Ant Club

The Red Ant Club is a tier 2 club which packs an extremely high punch for damage and stun. It can be obtained and crafted very early on in the game, thanks to the Red Ant hill that is near the starting location.

This weapon earned itself the spot on the top 10 best weapons as it can be obtained and crafted very early on in the game, thanks to the Red Ant hill that is near the starting location, you can slowly kill these or lure a stinkbug and collect many Red Ant parts. Our team liked this weapon so much they kept it till end game, due to making their lives easy with having to kill all sorts of enemies such as Orb weavers which we all hate to fight! We advise pairing this weapon with the Ladybug Armor.

The Insect Bow is a tier II bow that can shoot every type of arrow. The reason why this gets a place in our list for best weapons is for the reason it can be very versatile, yes it is not as strong as the Black Ox Crossbow but you can get your hands on this beauty early on in the game. It has very fast reloading time and good damage, so you can easily kite your enemy and fire arrows at it, A massive benefit we found is that it can shoot all types of arrows including the Bomb Arrow, this will help massively as you will come up against many walls that need to be blown up to progress through the game, We advise pairing this with the Moth Armor and the Marksman’s Cap to maximize the most out of this.

Other Alternatives

Here is a list of some other alternatives that we thought we should include as they definitely be checked out.

If you get the chance or have the resources to craft these, you will not be disappointed. Sadly for us, the decision to not include these instead of the others was extremely close.
