Navigating the Haze: Finding the BURG.L Chip in Grounded’s Haze Lab

The BURG.L Super Chip in the Haze Lab is a crucial item for unlocking new purchasables from BURG.L’s Science Shop in Grounded. Located within a dangerous area filled with toxic gas and infected creatures, retrieving it requires careful planning and execution. Here’s a precise guide on where to find this valuable chip:

The Haze Lab BURG.L Super Chip is located inside the main lab building. Once you enter the lab, you’ll find the chip on a table to your left. You’ll notice some Bratburst explosives nearby as well. After securing the chip, prepare to explore deeper within the lab, following a red wire that leads to further challenges.

Entering the Haze Lab

Gaining access to the Haze Lab is a challenge in itself. The main door is blocked by a broken door that requires an explosive to open. You’ll need either a Bratburst or a Splatburst to blast through it. Once past the broken door, you’ll encounter a Biometric Scanner. This scanner requires you to hold the interact button to bypass it.

Preparing for the Haze

Before venturing into the Haze biome where the lab is located, be aware of the hazards. The area is filled with toxic gas that will quickly deplete your health. To safely navigate the Haze, you have two main options:

• Gas Mask: Equip a Gas Mask for protection against the toxic gas. One gas mask is sufficient to enter the lab and explore it.
• Gum Nugget: Locate and use a Gum Nugget to plug the leaking gas canister, thus disabling the gas. The Gum Nugget needs to be harvested with a Tier 2 shovel. This action will permanently disable the gas within the biome but will also alter the game world by spawning infected creatures more often.

Inside the Lab

After breaching the entrance, you will notice a few hazards in the Haze Lab:

• Fungal Traps: Be mindful of fungal traps that need to be disabled with a Tier Two Axe.
• Infected Ladybugs: You will encounter Infected Ladybugs. These are aggressive enemies, so it is recommended to have at least a Tier 2 weapon and a Tier 1 or 2 set of armor. A good choice of weapon is the Red Ant Club or Insect Hammer. Clear the area of any other creatures to make fighting the ladybugs easier. After killing the ladybug in the Haze Lab, you’ll unlock the Truffle Tussle mutation.

Following the Red Wire

Once you have collected the BURG.L Super Chip, you’ll notice a red wire leading away from the initial table. Follow this wire as it will lead you to a room with an Infected Ladybug. This room will further your progression in the lab.
