How to Get Mint Shards in Grounded 2

Mint Shards are obtained by breaking Fresh Mint in Grounded 2. Fresh Mint looks like a tall, white-colored candy that can be found in various locations throughout Brookhollow Park. It can only be broken using a Tier 2 Omni-Hammer.

To unlock this Omni-Tool upgrade, you will need 1x Ladybug Head, 3x Lingonberry Leather, and 2,000 Raw Science at a Ranger Station before proceeding to the next step: finding Fresh Mints.

Fresh Mint Shard Locations in Grounded 2

Fresh Mints are scattered across the map of Grounded 2. Their locations are fixed, which makes locating them a breeze if you know where to look. Here are some easy-to-access locations where players can get Mint Shards by breaking open some Fresh Mints.

On top of the Picnic Table is a locked briefcase that can be opened with the right combination (137, 514). Inside, there are three fresh mints, three Spicy Candies, and three Sour Candies.
