How To Craft Fungnir in Grounded: Best New Weapon

Of course, any miniature adventurer worth their weight in Raw Science will want to wield the best weapon in Grounded. It's simply natural to want the most powerful melee weapon, and with the Grounded Fully Yoked (1.4) update, that's a spear aptly called Fungnir.

Join us as we discuss all the steps required to unlock the Fungnir recipe in Grounded and the materials required to craft the best weapon in New Game Plus mode.

Unlock Fungnir Recipe in Grounded

Before we get to unlocking the best weapon in Grounded, we want to explain quickly why Fungnir is so incredibly powerful. Its charge attack causes an explosion, dealing a tonne of AOE damage. It also has VERY fast attack speed and on its third normal attack (at level 6 or higher) there's a finale damage increase as well. Yes, it's that good, especially when you combine it with the best shield in the game (Infected Shield).

Your first step in unlocking the Fungnir recipe is crafting and then giving "Infected" offerings to one or more Ant Queens. For example, give the Infected Mushroom Sandwich to the Red Ant Queen. She'll die, and you'll get a bunch of rewards. You'll also see the following message:

You sense a ripple in an alternate dimension.

You can feed Ant Queens the following (based on their type) as offerings to turn them into Infected Ant Queens once you enter NG+ mode.

• Give Red Ant Queen an Infected Mushroom Sandwich.
• Give Fire Ant Queen an Infected Toejam Sandwich.
• Give Black Ant Queen an Infected Gum Sandwich.

With some Infected Ants guaranteed, enter New Game Plus. From here, navigate to the Ant Hills, where you've fed Ant Queens some Infected offerings. Slay the Ants inside and collect Infected Ant Parts.

After you've collected some Infected Ant Parts, analyze them. You'll now receive unlock the Fungnir recipe! Congratulations, you've got a way to craft the best weapon in Grounded!

How To Craft Fungnir in Grounded: Materials Required

Okay, so crafting Fungnir requires some rather rare materials, which you will also mostly loot from Ant Hills and by killing Infected Ants. To craft Fungnir, the following materials are required.

• x4 Infected Ant Mandibles
• x10 Infected Ant Part

Remember, you can upgrade Fungnir just like any other weapon in Grounded, with various damage types available. Further, you can enhance this Tier 3 weapon even more via the Yoking Station. It is currently considered the best melee weapon in Grounded, and since the game is unlikely to get an update 1.5, Fungnir might just be the ultimate Grounded weapon ever...
