What’s the Briefcase Code in Grounded 2?

Oh man, so there’s this briefcase in Grounded 2 that’s just, you know, kind of sitting there on a bench. And it’s like, “Okay, I need this code to crack it open.” The code’s not even just sitting around together like a normal thing would be; it’s split up. Because, why not make life complicated, right?

Anyway — oops, wait — getting ahead of myself. The case is sitting on a picnic table bench, kind of hidden northeast-ish from the snackbar. If you’re like me, and maybe not great with directions, just remember: buggy mounts make this smoother. Climb up a tablecloth (yeah, really), squeeze through a tiny cloth tunnel, and then balance your way over a pole. Sounds simple? It’s not. Trust me.

So about the code. Two parts, naturally. The first, hiding on a torn crossword sheet sitting right up there on the picnic table. And don’t even get me started on the second part. You gotta find it on this scrap of paper, way across the park, like Obsidian decided to play hide-and-seek with us. It’s stuck on a podium in front of a statue. Honestly, it’s in the trailer for the game, so maybe they thought they’d take it easy there?

Once you’ve got the numbers, it’s game on. Twist those dials on the briefcase, press the button, and — voila! Inside, you’ll uncover a plastic mint holder with a Milk Molar. No idea why I noticed this, but those things are handy for upgrading your character’s stats. Like, suddenly you’re superpowered or something. Plus, a pile of raw science — a hefty 500 points, just hanging out under some random stuff.

Kind of makes all that hoop-jumping worth it. Or does it? Who knows.
