How to Make Explosives in Grounded: Brawburst Crafting Guide

In Grounded, crafting explosives is essential for progressing through the game and completing certain objectives. This guide will walk you through the process of creating Brawburst bombs, which you’ll need to blow up obstacles and advance further into your adventure.

What is Brawburst?

Brawburst is an explosive item in Grounded that allows you to detonate specific objectives and environmental targets. It’s a craftable explosive that becomes increasingly important as you progress deeper into the game.

How to Craft Brawburst

Accessing the Workbench

To begin crafting Brawburst, head to your workbench and scroll down to the middle section. You’ll locate the Brawburst recipe among the available crafting options.

Required Materials

To craft a single Brawburst, you will need the following materials:

2x Fungal Growth

1x Ant

1x Red Ant Egg

4x Dry Grass Chunks

Important Note About Ant Eggs

Ant eggs have a timer mechanic in Grounded. If you leave them unused, they will eventually hatch and transform into actual ants. To prevent this from happening, use your ant eggs as soon as possible after obtaining them to craft your Brawburst.

Crafting Multiple Brawburst

You can craft multiple Brawburst at once if you have enough materials. Simply repeat the crafting process at your workbench to create a larger stockpile of explosives for your missions ahead.

How to Use Brawburst

Once you’ve crafted your Brawburst, using it is straightforward. Hold the Brawburst in your inventory, press the R key to activate it, and then throw it toward your target. The explosive will detonate on impact, destroying objectives and environmental obstacles in the area.

Additional Uses

Beyond breaking objectives, Brawburst is also effective for harvesting materials. If you can establish a reliable supply of red ant eggs, you can use Brawburst as an efficient harvesting tool throughout your gameplay.

Summary

Crafting Brawburst in Grounded is a simple but essential skill. Remember to gather 2x Fungal Growth, 1x Ant, 1x Red Ant Egg, and 4x Dry Grass Chunks at your workbench. Keep in mind that ant eggs will hatch over time, so use them promptly. With a reliable supply of these materials—especially red ant eggs—you’ll have a steady source of explosives to tackle objectives and harvest resources throughout your Grounded adventure.
