Grabble Gathering Preparation
Before you go on and jump into a match to gather grabble, I recommend getting the backpack upgrade and unlocking 2 extra inventory slots. The backpack can be crafted if you have 2x Scags, which you can get by collecting random cloth scraps around the house. Once you have a backpack, it will also help to craft a pickaxe. I crafted 2 pickaxes, since they are not that durable. You will require 3x clonk and 1x plasto to craft 1x pickaxe.
How to Gather Grabble

Now that you are ready, you can hop into a match on any map. Make your way inside the house and look for items made out of the following:
- Wood
- Stone
- Paper
- Organic material
For wood, I found a large wooden crate in the kitchen’s pantry. I had to break it down using a pickaxe to gather gravel from it. I could also find a wooden knife stand on the kitchen counter that could be broken down into pieces. While scavenging around, I picked up a lot of organic scraps like fruits and vegetables that contributed to growing my grabble resources.
As for paper materials, I was lucky to find a book in the living room, and I used my pickaxe on it to turn it into a grabble. While raiding the pantry and the kitchen, I could find tin cans that, when broken down, turned into grabble. Besides this, I tried my luck breaking down the kitchen cabinet doors and dragging them outside to be turned into garbage.
If you are confused about what items turn into grabble, then just use your pickaxe to break down anything you find. Even if you don’t get grabble, you will get other useful items like plasto, clonk, and other crafting materials.
