When it comes to multiplayer survival games, there really isn’t another quite like Obsidian Entertainment’s Grounded. Placing players at ground level, as a child shrunk to the size of an ant, you’ll have to navigate the wilds of your own backyard. And of course, there are going to be a mass amount of dangers to navigate throughout that backyard in the form of hostile insects.
But to keep yourself alive, you’re gonna need to have some weaponry at your disposal in order to make that happen. Luckily, Grounded has a vast array of different things you can craft by using parts from those insects, that will inevitably keep you alive. One such resource is called a Boiling Gland. Today, we’ll explain how you can get a Boiling Gland, and why you’d want to find one in the first place.
How to Get Boiling Gland in Grounded
One of the most useful items you can use for crafting is actually going to be the Boiling Glands. It serves a purpose in creating several great items, including a tool. Getting those Boiling Glands though can take a bit to do unless you have the right equipment. Boiling Glands are only found on the Bombardier Beetles; a yellow bug with a green shell on its back.
These bugs can fly and will shoot a boiling goo at you so you could take it on from a distance using a ranged weapon. They are a bit more difficult to kill this way, so taking the chance and going in for a melee kill may be an easier solution, as long as you’re ready to dodge their attacks. Bombardier Beetle will drop 2x Boiling Glands for you to collect once you’ve killed them.
