The Grounded 0.11 Update, Hot and Hazy, brought us a new weapon system and players are going bonkers about it! There is a lot of information and misinformation circling and this guide will clarify everything. As it is a huge guide, it was divided into 5 chapters and this video is the first of a series of 5.
 
 

Chapter 1 – Damage Categories

There are 2 damage categories, which I named as Type of Strike and Forged Upgrade.
 
 
The Type of Strike is the nature of the weapon something you can’t change in the weapon. There are 5 different types of strike:
 

• Chopping, for Axes and Daggers
• Smashing, for Hammers
• Slashing, for Swords
• Stabbing, for Arrows and Spears
• Generic, for Clubs, and others

The second damage category is the Forged Upgrade and for most of the weapons, you can choose what kind of damage you will forge into the weapon. There are 4 different types of Forged Upgrade:
 

• Mighty
• Salty
• Fresh and
• Spicy

Chapter 2 – Smithing Station

We dive deep into the Smithing Station, the new workstation added on the Hot and Hazy Update 0.11. The Smithing Station is used to upgrade weapons and tools. The recipe for the Smithing Station can be bought on the BURG.L Swap Shop for 2500 Raw Science and you should have it available because it is unlocked by delivering the Grasslands BURG.L Chip, the first chip of the game.
