How to Unlock the Globbler in Mycopunk (Secret Acid Launcher)

What the Globbler Is

The Globbler is not in the normal unlock flow. It does not come from Armament License progression or mission rewards — it is one of Mycopunk's hidden weapons, sitting in your weapon list with no hint of how to get it. In game terms it is a grenade launcher with a twist: every glob ricochets up to five times before exploding, applies acid, and feeds a meter called the Globblometer that powers several of its upgrades.

Community tier lists rate it at the very top for raw damage potential once built out, so it is worth the hunt. For context on its siblings, see secret weapons and the full weapon list.

Step 1: Start Any Mission in Gravity Farms

Pick any mission in the Gravity Farms region at any threat level — guides recommend the easiest setting, since none of the steps scale with difficulty. Your targets are on the map from the moment you land.

Step 2: Find the Bunker With Three Lights

Near the center of the map sits a bunker-like container with three colored lights on top, one per switch. All three lights start off. Each switch hides behind a breakable door or wall somewhere on the map, and the general layout reported by multiple guides is consistent:

Guides disagree on which color light maps to which structure — reports variously describe the colors as yellow/blue/red or magenta/cyan/yellow — so don't burn time matching colors. Just clear all three landmarks and check the bunker lights. Breaking hidden doors like these counts as exploration damage, so any weapon works.

Step 3: Collect the Scorched Transponder

With all three switches active, the bunker opens. Inside on the ground sits the Scorched Transponder, which goes to your Storage tab on the HUB. Abort the mission and head back to the rig — nothing else in this run matters.

Step 4: Activate the Transponder and Find Ground Zero

Back on the HUB, open Storage and interact with the Scorched Transponder. This unlocks the hidden mission Ground Zero, which appears in your mission terminal. Reports differ on which region it lists under — one guide places it in Gravity Farms, another in Titan City — so scan both tabs before assuming the unlock failed.

Bring a squad if you can: Ground Zero has no revives, and in solo a death means restarting the mission from scratch.

Step 5: Complete Ground Zero

The mission sends you after a crashed rocket or ship. Multiple guides describe the same beats: survive the approach, break open the hull, descend through breakable hatches, and pull a lever deep inside. Flicking that lever rewards the Globbler blueprint and its acid resource — one guide also notes a cargo pod drops for extraction.

Step 6: Craft the Globbler

Like any weapon in Mycopunk, the blueprint alone is not the weapon. Return to the rig, gather the listed resources, and craft it. Once crafted it is yours permanently, and its upgrade grid works like every other weapon's.

Globbler Stats and Key Upgrades

Base stats from the community wiki:

Its upgrade pool is what turns it from a meme into a monster. Standouts:

Note the self-damage theme: several upgrades hurt you, and the Rare "Replicator Resistance" upgrade exists specifically because you will blow yourself up. The Globbler rewards players who like risk — if that's your style, pair it with a loadout from best builds and check how it stacks against the meta in our weapon tier list.

Completing Ground Zero also ticks its achievement, so the trip pays double. And if you'd rather dig up a melee monster instead, the Carver chainsaw hides behind a similar multi-region hunt.
