In Grounded 2, survival hinges on more than just dodging giant bugs; you’ll need to craft powerful gear, whip up nourishing food, and upgrade your tools with precision. One of the most vital resources for all this? Berries. Specifically, Blueberries and the newly introduced Lingonberries. These two types of fruit not only feed your tiny explorer but also form the backbone of crafting high-tier armor, weapons, and performance-enhancing items like potions and buffs.

Whether you're just starting your journey through Brookhollow Park or pushing into its colder, more dangerous northern regions, this guide will help you locate both types of berries, gather them efficiently, and turn them into valuable crafting materials. We'll also walk you through how each type of berry leather is used and which resource may better suit your current objectives.

Part 1: The Key Uses of Berries in Grounded 2

Before diving into the map and harvesting locations, it's crucial to understand why berries matter.

Key Uses:

• Berry Leather: Both blueberry and lingonberry chunks are converted into leather, a crafting component for Tier II gear and tools.
• Combat Buffs: Lingonberries are ingredients in late-game food and potion recipes that grant enhanced damage resistance, health regen, and more.
• Food Recipes: Blueberries and lingonberries are used to craft nutritional meals, restoring health and hunger.

Part 2: Blueberries in Grounded 2

Where to Find Blueberries

Blueberries are not as rare as their red-hued cousins. They're typically located in the southeastern region of the map, particularly around:

• Below the Ice Cream Cart: A heavily wooded area filled with blueberry bushes.
• Picnic Table Zone: You can also find a few scattered blueberries here, especially under the tablecloth.

Note: The blueberry forest is guarded by O.R.C. Bees, which can pose a significant threat, even to well-equipped players.

For easier access early in the game:

• Use the picnic blanket as a ramp to get onto the table.
• Navigate to the cooler and jump on top to access the table surface.
• Under the cloth, you’ll find several berries, each yielding 2-3 chunks.

How to Harvest Blueberries

You’ll need a Level II Omni-Axe to chop blueberry chunks from berries after they fall.

Steps:

Step 1. Knock berries down with arrows or melee.

Step 2. Chop them with the upgraded axe.

Step 3. Collect the Blueberry Chunks.

Crafting Blueberry Leather

Once you have the chunks, you can create leather by:

• Workbench: Combine 3 Blueberry Chunks to make 1 Blueberry Leather.
• Jerky Rack: Converts chunks into leather at a 1:1 ratio but takes more in-game time.

Tip: Analyze both the chunks and resulting leather to unlock more crafting recipes.

Part 3: Lingonberries in Grounded 2

What’s New About Lingonberries?

Unlike blueberries, lingonberries are a special resource introduced in Grounded 2. They grow in colder, northern regions and are more dangerous to harvest. However, the rewards are higher, as lingonberries are used in high-tier armor, buff potions, and exclusive recipes.

Where to Find Lingonberries

Lingonberries are located along the northwestern border, specifically:

• Pine Hill region, behind the ranger station.
• Hedge undergrowth that runs north from the Snackbar.
• Picnic Table ranger outpost, behind the large oak tree.

This entire zone is shaded and dense, often requiring torches or a mid-day expedition for visibility. 

Note Danger Zones: Expect to encounter Orb Weavers, Scorpions, Stinkbugs, and O.R.C. variants of almost every enemy type.

You can sneak in on a mount like the ant buggy or prepare for full combat. Either way, carry upgraded gear and ample healing supplies.

Harvesting Lingonberries

Similar to blueberries, but with added difficulty:

Step 1. Spot the berries overhead, some fallen, others attached to tall bushes.

Step 2. Knock them down using a bow and arrow.

Step 3. Use the Omni-Axe Level II or higher to extract Lingonberry Chunks.

Crafting Lingonberry Leather

Once gathered, chunks are converted into leather in two ways:

• Workbench: 3 chunks yield 1 leather.
• Jerky Rack: One chunk becomes one leather over several in-game hours.

This leather is crucial for crafting:

• Omni-Hammer upgrades
• Tier III armor sets
• Buff-granting meals and potions

Pro Tip: Analyze lingonberry chunks to unlock the leather recipe, then analyze the leather to reveal advanced crafting items.

Part 4: Comparing Lingonberries and Blueberries

While blueberries offer a more accessible path to early armor and tools, lingonberries are essential for players venturing into high-level zones and boss fights. Their increased rarity and harvest difficulty are offset by their greater utility in combat situations and item progression.
