Gounded 2 How to Get Heatwave

Heatwave is a unique staff found inside a giant head in the Fire Pit in Grounded 2. Learn how to get Heatwave and its stats in this guide!

How to Get Heatwave

Under a Giant Head Behind Two Blocks of Charcoal in the Fire Pit Area

# Step-by-Step Objectives
* The Heatwave is hidden inside a giant head in the Fire Pit, behind a block of two charcoals. You will need a Tier II Omni-Hammer to break the charcoals, so make sure to upgrade it before entering the Fire Pit.

Since there will be continuous burning in the Fire Pit, we recommend to equip the complete Sizzling Armor Set and to bring Mintito smoothies and bandages for healing.

1
First, head north of the Fire Pit area.
Interactive Map
2
Look for a hole that faces the large wood north of the Fire Pit.
3
Enter through this hole by jumping onto the melted toy soldiers (Melted Army Men).
4
Once you're in, defeat the O.R.C. Cockroach Nymphs near you. Then, drop down the ledge and eliminate the O.R.C. Bombardier Beetle and the O.R.C. Cockroach Nymphs that will join the fight.

Heal and go back up to the platform and Save. If you have plenty of Mintito, drink one, if not save it for later.
5
Drop down the ledge again, then turn right and run past the giant head until you see the O.R.C. creatures (O.R.C. Bombardier Beetle and O.R.C. Cockroach Nymphs) just beyond it. Attract their attaction, then lead them back near the stone platform and eliminate them. If you don't take them out, they will attack you when you're busting the charcoals.
6 Mintito Smoothie
After defeating all hostile creatures nearby, drink a Mintito Smoothie to slow down Sizzling meter and its effects, then head to the back of the giant head.
7
Approach the neck area of the head. You'll notice two large charcoals blocking the hole. You need to destroy these charcoals to create an entrance.
8
Once the entrance is clear, crouch to get inside the head. You'll see the Heatwave staff behind an EverChar Coal Chunk.
9
Take the EverChar Coal Chunk, then grab the Heatwave staff laying on the ground. Finally, run towards the exit.
10
Finally, run towards the wood plank extending from the platform earlier. Use the top of an embedded nail beside a hole to exit.
