Grounded Weapon Tier List (2026)
Not every weapon is worth the crafting cost. This tier list ranks Grounded weapons by effectiveness at each progression stage — from early pebblet tools to endgame elemental gear.
Early game weapons (Tier 1-2)
Pebblet spear and acorn shovel handle early threats. Upgrade to the insect axe and larva blade once you reach the oak lab. The bow with gas arrows is the safest ranged option for kiting spiders.
Avoid investing in bone weapons — they break too fast. Focus resources on sap-based gear that repairs cheaply.
Mid and late game weapons (Tier 3+)
The salt mace and spicy coaltana dominate mid-game. Elemental damage types matter — salty for armored targets, spicy for high-HP bosses, sour for crowd control, and fresh for healing on hit.
The crossbow with tier-four arrows outperforms the bow in raw damage but reloads slower. Match weapon type to your playstyle and team role.
