Learn how to gather Brittle Whetstone and Plating in Grounded 2 to upgrade weapons and armor at the Smithing Station.
Brittle Whetstone and Plating in Grounded 2 are primarily required for crafting the Smithing Station and for upgrading weapons and armor using it. You can buy the blueprints for the Smithing Station from the Science Shop in the Snackbar outpost’s Ranger Station.
After purchasing the blueprints, you will need one Brittle Whetstone, one Brittle Plating, and some Crude Rope to craft the Smithing Station. However, the need for Brittle Whetstone and Plating increases dramatically after crafting the station, as upgrading weapons and armor requires large amounts of both.
