Tired of looking for missing grubs? (Get Some Grub Achievement Guide)
Achievement: Get Some Grub
Requirement: Squish all 333 Antlion Grubs in Episode Two.
Type this in console:
The Problem
Normally, you’d have to explore carefully through the entire game and squish every grub. If you miss even one, the counter resets if you restart a chapter from the beginning — which can be frustrating.
The Easy Solution (Using Developer Console)
You can use the developer console to quickly get the achievement without hunting for every grub.
Step 1: Enable Developer Console- Load Chapter 2 (or any chapter).
- Pause the game → go to Options → Keyboard → Advanced.
- Check Enable Developer Console (~) → click OK.
- Press ` (the key under Esc — not the single quote).
Type this in console:
give npc_antlion_grub
A grub will spawn near you. Squish it. Repeat until the achievement unlocks. Bonus: Bind the Command to a Key
Instead of typing the command every time, bind it to a key:bind k "give npc_antlion_grub"
note: Replace k with any key you like. Now, pressing that key will instantly spawn a grub — just squish away until the achievement pops.
Notes:
- You don’t need to squish all 333 naturally if you spawn them — the achievement unlocks once the total reaches 333.
- If you prefer a legit run, remember the counter only decreases if you restart a chapter from the beginning, so always continue from your saves.
Done!
Now you can save yourself the headache of hunting for that one missing grub.🏆
