To get the Omni-Clipper in Grounded 2, go to any Ranger Station, open the Omni-Tool menu, and buy the Omni-Clipper upgrades with Raw Science and pond materials.
The Into the Abyss update adds a pond-focused tool path built around underwater harvesting. Once the Omni-Tool menu is available at a Ranger Station, the Omni-Clipper upgrades are bought directly from that terminal.
What the Omni-Clipper is in Grounded 2
The Omni-Clipper is a variant of the Omni-Tool made for harvesting underwater resources in the pond and Abyss content. It is not a separate inventory tool that you craft, equip, drop, or swap like a normal item.
Key The unlock happens through a Ranger Station terminal under the Omni-Tool menu. The first Omni-Tool access starts at the Snackbar Ranger Outpost, but for Omni-Clipper upgrades, use any accessible Ranger Station that shows the Omni-Tool menu.
The showcased terminal is near the Pergola and Pond area, which makes sense because the Omni-Clipper is tied to the new underwater route. You do not need to hunt for a loose Clipper pickup in the world.
Omni-Clipper upgrade costs
| Tier | Cost |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 1,000 Raw Science, 1 Water Boatman Fin, 2 Wax |
| Tier 2 | 2,000 Raw Science, 2 Diving Bell Spider Chunks, 1 Crow Feather Piece |
| Tier 3 | 3,000 Raw Science, 2 Toe Biter Claws, 1 Sunken Bone |
Check these costs before heading back to a station, because every tier uses Raw Science plus pond-specific materials. Tier 3 appears in the Into the Abyss Omni-Clipper path, even though older Omni-Tool upgrade routes were previously limited before later updates.
Bring all three tier costs before opening the Ranger Station menu so you can buy multiple Omni-Clipper upgrades in one trip instead of returning after each purchase.

How much Omni-Clipper upgrading you need for the Abyss
For Into the Abyss progression, upgrade the Omni-Clipper as far as your current pond materials allow. The path is clearly built around deeper underwater harvesting, so falling behind on it can slow down your ability to gather Abyss resources.
Do not treat Tier 1 as the finish line if you already have the Tier 2 materials. The station lets you continue upgrading from the same Omni-Clipper path, and the Tier 3 requirement gives you the next material target once you start pushing further into the pond progression.
