How to get all tier 3 tools in Grounded

Tier 3 tools are the highest tier of usable items you can craft for yourself. These tools will break through any obstacle, and they can harvest the toughest materials in the yard. However, not all of these tools are built equally, as you need to acquire them in a specific order to take advantage of them.

The Termite Axe

The Termite Axe is the first tier 3 tool you can earn in Grounded. To craft this tier 3 Axe, which can double as a chopping weapon, you must seek out termites. These critters are tough to deal with, but just a few of them will get you what you need. Tough Gunk will drop from any high-level creature in the upper yard near the shed. This location is also where you can find the termite home base. The red area, pictured below, is near the shed and will contain all the creatures you need to hunt.

Feathers will spawn at random across the entire yard. Once you build this weapon, you can begin breaking down hardened resources that let you create high-tier weapons and armor.
