How to get Bushwacker in Grounded 2

The Bushwacker in Grounded 2, while not being a tier-3 item like the Ice Sickle or Spicy Coaltana, packs quite a punch for a ranged weapon. With a multiplier of 15% critical chance of 4%, it's a formidable tier-2 weapon in its own right. When combined with item set bonuses that increase ranged damage, it's a solid tool to have on your character to engage Bugs from afar.

Perhaps the only downside to the Bushwacker in Grounded 2 is that a lot of legwork is required to obtain it. Nevertheless, if you enjoy ranged warfare, this is the perfect tool for the job.

How to obtain Bushwacker in Grounded 2

As mentioned, there's a lot of footwork involved to get the Bushwacker in Grounded 2. Hence, before you set out to get this weapon, you will want to carry enough provisions and maybe take a friend along for the ride to help navigate the thick undergrowth. Then, follow these steps:

• Go to Pine Hill and look for large tree roots on the map (use a Buggy, as there's a lot of walking involved otherwise).
• To start, you'll need to traverse until you find a point from which you can begin scaling the stem of a tree.
• After getting atop the stem, turn left. Cross the stem that forms a bridge-like structure, turn left again, and go straight until you see a Butterfly.
• From the Butterfly, turn left again, and continue straight until you come to a clearing.

• Continue along the path until you reach a crossroads; from here, turn right.
• Cross the spiderweb (it's going to take a while as you'll be slowed down).
• Once across, follow the path till you reach the next spiderweb (another slow crossing; sigh).
• After crossing, follow the thick stem till you reach the third spiderweb, and cross it (you'll encounter a Spiderling and an Orb Weaver Jr.; be sure to deal with them).
• Once across the third spiderweb, turn right and defeat the Orb Weaver.

• Continue along the thick stem and turn left, moving slightly upward.
• Another spiderweb will come into view (sigh), which you'll have to cross.
• Once across, turn left and continue straight until you reach a crossroad.
• Take the right path that leads downward, and you'll see an autumn leaf at the end of the stem.
• Interact with the chest that's on it, and the Bushwacker in Grounded 2 will be yours.
