To get Hyper Beam in Grounded 2, go to the bridge area south of the Pergola, find Admiral Grand, the O.R.C. Toe Biter Leviathan, then defeat it and loot the Hyper Beam drop.
The August 11, 2026 Into the Abyss update expanded Brookhollow Park with Skunk Pond and new areas around the Bridge, Gnarly Bark, and the Pergola. Hyper Beam belongs to that new stretch, but the route is direct: reach the bridge-side encounter, survive the gas, and kill the right O.R.C. creature.
Hyper Beam source and bridge location
| Thing | Detail |
|---|---|
| Item | Hyper Beam |
| Source enemy | Admiral Grand, the O.R.C. Toe Biter Leviathan |
| Area | Bridge area south of the Pergola, around Skunk Pond |
| Prep requirement | Gas mask for the gas around the approach |
| Attack to watch | Laser beam attack during the fight |
Hyper Beam comes from Admiral Grand, an O.R.C. Toe Biter Leviathan found near the bridge south of the Pergola. This is a field drop route in the Into the Abyss area, not a crafting unlock you pick up from a workbench first.
The update notes list Hyper Beam among the new resources but do not publish a drop rate, so repeat the same bridge-area kill if it does not land on your first clear.
How to get Hyper Beam from Admiral Grand in Grounded 2
This route takes you to the bridge-area O.R.C. Toe Biter Leviathan, then turns the fight into a short loot run.
STEP 1/6
Go to the bridge south of the Pergola
Head to the bridge area around Skunk Pond and the Pergola, where Admiral Grand can be found.
STEP 2/6
Put on a gas mask
Equip a gas mask before moving into the gas so the approach does not drain your health.
STEP 3/6
Identify the beam-using O.R.C. Toe Biter
Look for the O.R.C. Toe Biter Leviathan with radiation frequency and a visible beam attack.
STEP 4/6
Use spicy damage if you have it
Start the fight with a spicy weapon if available, since Spicy is one of Admiral Grand’s weaknesses.
STEP 5/6
Dodge the laser
Back off or strafe when the laser fires, then punish the recovery instead of trading hits.
STEP 6/6
Loot Hyper Beam
After Admiral Grand dies, pick up Hyper Beam from the drop.
Put the gas mask on before the final approach; the fight is already busy, and gas damage makes the laser harder to survive.

Admiral Grand weaknesses and fight prep
| Weakness | Use |
|---|---|
| Spicy | Best first choice if you have a strong spicy weapon ready. |
| Stabbing | Use a stabbing weapon if it is your strongest upgraded option. |
| Fresh | A backup element when your fresh weapon outclasses your spicy gear. |
| Venom | Adds pressure while you focus on avoiding the beam. |
| Water | Works as another listed weakness for this Toe Biter variant. |
Key Do not overbuild this fight. Bring your strongest weapon that matches one of the listed weaknesses, keep the gas mask equipped, and save stamina for the laser instead of trying to trade through it.
Hyper Beam after the Admiral Grand fight
After Admiral Grand dies, Hyper Beam appears in the loot feed and then in the inventory by name. The same kill can also drop Toe Biter parts and an O.R.C. Receiver, but Hyper Beam is the pickup that matters for this route.
Use this page as the acquisition route. Once Hyper Beam is in your inventory, inspect its in-game item card in your own save before planning upgrades or a long-term build around it.
