Grounded 2 rewards exploration with hidden recipes, armor sets, and tool upgrades. The new Into The Abyss update continues this, and gives you 16 new Optical Disks to find and collect. As you might have guessed, these disks are hidden in the most unusual places in the game’s world. Finding them will take you all the way down an ant cave, to the top of a tree, and inside a garbage-filled bird nest.
To make getting this collectible slightly easier for you, I have put up in this guide the locations for all the 16 Optical Disks, area wise, in the new Into the Abyss update for Grounded 2.
All 16 Optical Disk Locations in Grounded 2 Into the Abyss
This is the biome wise distribution for the Optical Disks:
- Snack Bar Front (x3 Optical Disks)

Snackbar Front is the only biome with 3 Optical Disks in the region, while the rest of them have single disks. I recommend starting from Snackbar Front and then going over the map to grab all the disks.
All Optical Disks in Snackbar Front
| Disk Type | Location Information |
| Snackbar Turbo Optical Disk | Head inside the Ant Cave located in the Snackbar Front region; the cave is located southwest of the region, at the bottom of Snackbar. |
| Turbo Stolen Optical Disk | This one is also located inside the cave found a bit northeast of Snackbar, almost in the middle of Snackbar Front. [Do note, you will have to fight an O.R.C Northern Scorpion Jr. before getting the disk.] |
| Toxic Anthill Optical Disk | The disk is located inside the cave north of Snackbar Front. Here, you will come across Toxic Anthill: South Entrance; follow the route, and it will lead you to the disk area. [Head deep inside the cave until you see a giant cockroach in a green swamp covering the ground; here you will find the disk next to a corpse. Also note to have a Fuzzy parka to slow the rate of chill status.] |
All Optical Disks in Greenhouse
| Disk Type | Location Information |
| Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk | Head to the southwest of the Greenhouse biome to find the greenhouse. Now head up to the rooftops of the greenhouse to find the broken glass leading to the inside of the place. [Don’t drop down; stick to the ceiling of the Greenhouse and you will find the body with the disk on the top.] |
| Burgl OS Chip | This one is located inside the Greenhouse, but a stubborn gunk blocks the door; it’s a darkish purple goo covering the door from the top to the bottom. You will need to use a Tang Banger to remove the gunk from the door. After removing the gunk, head inside and get down on the elevator and interact with the Archive Distributor to grab the chip. |

Fire Pit Optical Disk
| Disk Type | Location Information |
| Hedge Optical Disk | From the Ranger Outpost: Park Bench, make your way northeast. Here, climb up the tree, follow the branches to get to the disk spot. [You will find many spider webbings covering up the spaces between branches; use them for safe travel, and you will find the corpse carrying the disk on a webbing at the top.] |
Statue Optical Disk

| Fairy Turbo Optical Disk | This one will take you all the way northeast of Veggie Garden, near the Fairy Garden House. Here you will find a cone-shaped building with a ladder leading underground. Drop down the ladder, follow the route to grab the disk. [You will not be alone here, as you will come across a giant Wolf Spider. Defeat the spider or skip it to the disk.] |

The disk we are looking for is underwater; take a breath and dive into the water to find the disk here. [You must venture deep into the water until you start seeing coins on the floor, here keep an eye out for a ladder with red light around it. Follow the ladder, and you enter the Diving Station.] |

| Pergola Optical Disk | This one is located right in the middle of the Pergola biome, found inside the Crow’s Nest. Compared to all of them, this one will take you a long time, since you will have to climb all the way up until you see the sun in the sky. [Avoid all the monsters; use all the methods available to climb up the section, which means you must use the wooden fence, branches, and spider webbings.] |
