All Omni-Tool upgrades and material requirements in Grounded 2

It's a versatile tool.

If you played the first Grounded, you’ll remember the joys of carrying around a bunch of tools for chopping down grass, digging up grubs, and bonking enemies on the head. Fortunately, inventory management is much easier in Grounded 2 with the introduction of the Omni-Tool.

The Omni-Tool is an all-in-one tool that combines an axe, hammer, shovel, and wrench into a single item. You can even upgrade it, allowing you to break stronger objects as your playthrough progresses. Let’s dive into the requirements for every Omni-Tool upgrade in Grounded 2.

How to unlock and upgrade your Omni-Tool in Grounded 2

You’ll first unlock your Omni-Tool after finding Ranger Outpost: Snackbar during the main story. Inside this base, you’ll find a Resource Analyzer and a wall of Omni-Tools, letting you grab one to use for the rest of your run.

You’ll also find a locked door on the opposite side of this room. There’s no way to unlock this door from this side, requiring you to advance slightly further into the main questline. You’ll eventually find a cave that leads directly to this backroom and lets you unlock the door, giving you easier access to both areas.

Once you enter this room, you’ll find a Ranger Station that features a Science Shop, Omni-Tool upgrades, and Ranger Challenges. Early in your playthrough, you’ll have limited upgrade options, but uncovering more resources will let you expand further.
