In Grounded 2, players have an Omni-Tool, which is an extremely practical multitool with various upgrades. Gamers can add capabilities to their Omni-Tool, and then they'll have access to various tools at the click of a button. One of the first features that players will want to add to their Omni-Tool is the shovel.

This guide tells players what they need to know about obtaining the shovel upgrade for the Omni-Tool in Grounded 2. This unlockable will give players access to an array of materials and, subsequently, useful recipes that will improve their quality of life in-game.

How to Get a Shovel in Grounded 2

The Omni-Shovel is one of the upgrades that players can get for their Omni-Tool in Grounded 2. With this upgrade, players will be able to dig up soft surfaces, which will make it possible for them to find grubs, for example.

To get a shovel, players must interact with the Ranger Station in Grounded 2 and select it while having the following materials in their inventory:
