Learn how to ascend the massive Garbage Can in Grounded 2! Follow our step-by-step guide to find hidden loot and reach the top.

Alright, so you need to get up this giant Garbage Can, huh? Don't worry, it's not as tricky as it looks. Think of it like a mini-climbing challenge. Here's how we'll do it:

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you'll want to approach the Garbage Can from the hill that's to the west of it. That's your starting point.
  2. 2
    See that twig sticking out from the hill, reaching towards the rim of the can? That's your first bridge. Carefully cross it.
  3. 3
    Once you're on the rim, hang a left. You'll see a bunch of stuff stuck to the sides of the bin – these are your next platforms. You'll need to jump across them.
  4. 4
    Keep an eye out for more twigs. You'll find some that lead up to the next level. Jump across those too.
  5. 5
    You should now be on the top rim of the Garbage Can. Again, keep moving left. Eventually, you'll spot a piece of plastic cutlery – this is your final step to reach the very top.

Once you're at the summit, the Transmitter you're looking for is in the southwest corner. Just interact with it to keep the quest rolling.

Tips
  • While you're up there, don't forget to explore! There's a hidden Golden Milk Molar tucked away in the southwest corner of the inner section, under a map. Super easy to miss if you're just rushing the objective.
  • There's also a Milk Molar at the base of the can, on the ground level to the north, inside a paper cup. Grab that too!
  • Be aware of the angry cockroaches hanging around the base of the can. They can be a bit of a nuisance if you're exploring down there.
  • If you've got a Tier 2 OmniHammer, you can break down Hot Chacas for Spicy Shards. There's also a Mint Shard hotspot inside the bin, and Sour Clumps if you're feeling ambitious.
  • For those with a Tier 2 OmniAxe, there are apples to chop. You'll mostly get Rotten Food (great for fertilizer!), but you might snag Fresh Apple Bits or even Cookie bits.
  • Don't forget to grab any Raw Science you see scattered around the area – it's always useful!
