How do you open the Grounded 2 briefcase? Grounded sure isn't known as a puzzle game series, but that doesn't mean Obsidian can't squeeze a brain teaser in here and there. In Grounded 2, you'll have come across a locked briefcase, which at first looks like any other set piece. Get closer, though, and you find that the combination locks can be interacted with, meaning there must be a way in.
While puzzles may not be the crux of Grounded 2, exploration is, and finding your way into the locked briefcase requires some serious hunting. One combination is found just above the briefcase itself, but the second is much harder to locate in the survival game. If you're struggling, we've found the briefcase combination locations so you don't have to, and we can tell you what you'll find inside.
What are the Grounded 2 briefcase combinations?
The briefcase combinations can be found scribbled on pieces of paper across the map: one on the very top of the lectern, and the other on the top of the picnic table. The left-most number is 137, and the right-hand combination is 514.
As we've mentioned, the first number is found close to the briefcase itself, on the top of the picnic table. To get there, you must enter the chiller next to the briefcase. However, don't undertake this task without preparing for the cold atmosphere. Your best option is to take a Sticky Blazin' Brew smoothie and drink it before heading in. This gives you long enough to explore the inside of the chiller and climb to the top. The newspaper crossword puzzle is just in front of you, with the number 137 scrawled on top.
The second number is located on the very top of the lectern, south of the Dr. Tully statue, on a torn piece of paper. Climbing the lectern requires a bit of parkour, and you must also reach the top as part of the questline to hack Someone's ORC Receivers.
Grounded 2 briefcase rewards
Considering the amount of work required to get into the briefcase, there isn't actually much loot to claim. The best item to pick up here is a Milk Molar, but you'll also find candies, Raw Science, and a Grounded 2 snail, among other bugs to kill.
With the Grounded 2 briefcase unlocked and emptied, use our other guides to find any remaining Milk Molar locations you may have missed, locate and hatch a Grounded 2 wolf spider egg, and harvest lingonberry leather, blueberry leather, and other valuable resources.
