It might not seem like it, but Acorns, despite their size, are quite challenging to find. To make matters worse, Acorns are vital to crafting many items in the game, from armor to upgrades. For that reason, we’ve created a guide to help you find Acorns in Grounded 2, as well as some tips on where the best places to farm this resource are. As a warning, though, bring some weapons because some creepy crawlers will prevent you from grabbing these nuts.
Where To Find Acorns in Grounded 2

In general, you can find Acorns almost everywhere on the map, but that doesn’t narrow it down. Fortunately, there is one specific spot in one of the two starting areas that is relatively safe and houses many Acorns.
If you want to get a few Acorns that are guaranteed to spawn after a few days, you must head south of the first Ranger Outpost and north of the large Oak Tree. You can use the image below as a reference.

You’ll encounter a large root, and it will usually have three to four acorns. Beyond those, you’ll also find a few Acorns around the root, especially where the Spiderling webs are. As we mentioned before, bring a few weapons because there are a lot of Spiderlings and at least two Orb Weavers tend to spawn around. Also, and it might be obvious, but we’re still mentioning in case you forget, get the Omni-Hammer I module first because you won’t be able to break Acorns without it.
