All Grounded 2 Omni Tool upgrades and how to get Tier 3 upgrades

Grounded 2 Omni Tool Tier 3 upgrades aren't in the game just yet, but Level 3 tools and weapons will be arriving later as part of the Winter update, as outlined in the Grounded 2 roadmap. Currently that means some materials and structures will be completely indestructible until better Omni-Tool upgrades arrive, Grounded 2 is in early access, after all.

In the meantime, you'll want to get all the Grounded 2 Omni Tools upgraded as high as they'll go, which is Tier 2 for everything except for the Wrench. Here's everything you need to know about upgrading your Omni Tool in Grounded 2 and when Tier 3 upgrades (and beyond) will be added.

All Grounded 2 Omni Tool upgrades so far

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 Science + 2 Roach Chunks + 2 Grounded 2 Blueberry Leather
  • Tier 3: ???
  • Tier 4: ???
  • Tier 5: ???
• Omni-Hammer:
  • Tier 1: 350 Science + 2 Pebblets + 1 Sap
  • Tier 2: 2,000 Science + 1 Ladybug Head + 3 Grounded 2 Lingonberry Leather
  • Tier 3: ???
  • Tier 4: ???
  • Tier 5: ???
• Omni-Shovel:
  • Tier 1: 350 Science + 1 Grounded 2 Grass Seed + 2 Sprigs
  • Tier 2: 3,000 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: ???
  • 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. Presumably the missing Tier 3 will push the demands of the resources you need even further.

When are Grounded 2 Tier 3 Omni Tool upgrades coming?

Tier 3 Upgrades for the Omni-Tool will arrive in the Winter Update, as mentioned in the Grounded 2 roadmap. There isn't a clear release window for this just yet, but it could drop in early December 2025 or sometime in January or February 2026.

Tier 4 Omni-Tool Upgrades will arrive in the following Summer Update in 2026. Again, a release window for this update hasn't yet been announced, but it'll include Tier 4 upgrades as well as many water-themed additions.

Tier 5 upgrades haven't even been mentioned specifically, so they're a very long way off. Although, the roadmap does mention "Omni-Tool unlocks" as part of the Future Plans section, which will hopefully include Tier 5 upgrades and more. In short, expect the final upgrades for the Omni-Tool to get added in an update in the second half of 2026!
