The moment players step into Brookhollow Park, they'll be scrounging for resources to make their equipment to survive against hostile bugs in Grounded 2. You'll be able to mix and match different armor pieces and weapons to make builds against stronger enemies. One of the items that will give you an edge in survivability is trinkets, which grant various buffs and can be equipped in your character's dedicated slot. Let's explore all the Trinkets Grounded 2 has to offer and how to get them.
Grounded 2: All Materials and Resources (& Where to Find Them)
As a survival crafting game, there are naturally many materials and resources in Grounded 2, with most being extracted from plants or creatures.
All Grounded 2 Trinkets & How to Get Them
There are more than 15 trinkets currently available in Grounded 2 at the time of writing, with additional trinkets to be added in future updates. While some trinkets can be crafted when players analyze certain resources and unlock their crafting recipes, most of them are RNG-based and can only be obtained by harvesting certain resources or bugs.
