Stinkbug Weaknesses & Loot in Grounded 2

Unless players have fought a Stinkbug before and collected its parts to craft a Gas Mask, they will have to encounter this creature for the first time without any protection, which will cause them to lose health due to its poisonous gas.

The Stinkbug is resistant to Smashing weapons, but weak to Stabbing weapons. Therefore, if players can't get up close and personal yet, they can grab a bow and arrow and to bring their health down from afar. Aside from the poisonous gas that the Stinkbug emits, these creatures can be defeated with just a few blows of an arrow.

  • Once players have taken down their first Stinkbug and obtained Stinkbug Parts, they should head to a workbench and craft themselves a Gas Mask. This piece of armour will make it much easier for them to fight Stinkbugs, as its Gas Guard will prevent them from taking damage from the Stink Bug's toxic clouds.

With the Gas Mask's protection in Grounded 2, players can grab a melee weapon and hack away at their life with direct hits; this will make it much easier for fans to take them on. Once defeated, the Stinkbug will drop Stinkbug Parts and sometimes Stinkbug Gas Sacks.
