Omni Tool upgrades in Grounded 2 are needed for bigger and more ambitious projects, with the Hammer, Wrench, Axe and Shovel compromising the main way you interact with the world around you. Right now not all the upgrades are available - they're coming with later updates - but we've got all the components and crafting ingredients you'll need for the existing ones listed below.

Tier 3 upgrades for the Omni-Tool aren't in Grounded 2 yet and will be added in the next update. That means you're restricted to upgrading the Omni Axe, Hammer, and Shovel up to Level 2 only. While the Omni-Wrench only goes up up to Level 1, so you're quite restricted in what materials you can break down.

To upgrade your Omni-Tool i Grounded 2 you need to visit a Ranger Station and must pay for upgrades to each of the four tool types using varying amounts of Science and resources you gather out in the park.

Here's a list of everything you need for each Grounded 2 Omni Tool upgrade:

  • Omni-Axe:
    • Tier 1: (Unlocked by default)
    • Tier 2: 2,000 Raw Science + 2 Roach Chunks + 2 Grounded 2 Blueberry Leather
    • Tier 3: 3,000 Raw Science + 2 Praying Mantis Claw + 3 Black Ant Mandibles
    • Tier 4: ???
    • Tier 5: ???
  • Omni-Hammer:
    • Tier 1: 350 Raw Science + 2 Pebblets + 1 Sap
    • Tier 2: 2,000 Raw Science + 1 Ladybug Head + 3 Grounded 2 Lingonberry Leather
    • Tier 3: 3,000 Raw Science + 3 Gunpowder Clump + 1 Potato Beetle Head
    • Tier 4: ???
    • Tier 5: ???
  • Omni-Shovel:
    • Tier 1: 350 Raw Science + 1 Grounded 2 Grass Seed + 2 Sprigs
    • Tier 2: 3,000 Raw Science + 1 Northern Scorpion Stinger + 2 Pine Needles
    • Tier 3: ???
  • Omni-Wrench:
    • Tier 1: 1,000 Science + 2 Red Ant Parts + 2 Clay
    • Tier 2: 2,500 Science + 3 Gum Nuggets + 2 Rust Beetle Parts
    • Tier 3: ???

As you can see the first upgrades are fairly easy to get once you unlock a Ranger Station, but past that you'll need some mid-game tools and resources to reach level 2 and 3. Later Omni-Tool upgrades are planned for later updates to Grounded 2.

If you want to team up with friends in the park, here's everything you need to know about Grounded 2 crossplay and multiplayer. You'll probably also want to know how to find Grounded 2 Acorns for other crafting recipes this early in the game, which need a hammer upgrade to crack open.
