Grounded 2 Blueberries and their Leather are an essential early-to-mid game resource, but the problem is that players aren't likely to find Blueberry Leather anywhere near the starting area, for many necessitating their first real expedition out into the wilderness beyond the safety of Grounded 2's starting zone. To help you find the leather you need, here's the locations of Blueberries and what you need to do once you find them.
Blueberry locations in Grounded 2
The best location to get Blueberries in Grounded 2 is by the pond in the Southern area of the Ice Cream Truck region, in the Southeast of the map. You'll actually have an objective leading you to this area at some point in the main campaign when you're told to "Find the ORC soldiers by the pond." It's far away, so you'll want one of the Grounded 2 Buggies, but the area is full of Blueberry trees, and the berries can be knocked down with any attack.
The other option that's not quite as good, but still works, is the Picnic Table north of the starting area, past the opening to the Hatchery Anthill where you find the Grounded 2 Red Soldier Ant Eggs. If you can ascend to the top of the table, underneath the tablecloth you'll find numerous berries left behind (as well as Orb Weaver Spiders and more ORC bugs, so be ready).
How to craft Blueberry Leather
Once you find a Blueberry, walk up to it and use your Omni-Tool level 1 axe to Chop it. That will cause it to break apart into Blueberry Chunks, which you then need to pick up. From there, analyze a Chunk at a Ranger Station to unlock its recipes.
Once you have Blueberry Chunks you have two ways to turn it into Blueberry Leather:
- Take it to a Workbench. You can instantly turn three Blueberry Chunks into one piece of Blueberry Leather here.
- Build a Jerky Rack in your base and put it on that. It takes several in-game hours, but this will turn a single Chunk into a single piece of Leather, a much better turnover.
Ultimately you'll be better off exercising a little patience to craft Blueberry leather in Ground 2, if you want to maximise your yield. The workbench is fast if you really can't wait, but if you can find other things to do while the Jerky Rack works it's magic you'll get far more of this important material.
