The Pinch Whacker might look and sound like a futuristic fly swatter in the making with its robotic arm and pinch-like grip. However, it's a top-notch item that's a robotic tier 3 weapon with devastating, bug-zapping effects. Players need their wits and building skills to reach it, plus the ability to compile an explosive concoction to access its hidden, secret location along with a treasure trove of other rewards for their efforts.

The Pinch Whacker is located inside a hidden nook in the wall close to the Hedge Lab behind a cracked doorway, so it's easy to miss even for the most eagle-eyed players. From the Hedge lab door in the bottom-right corner of the map, players need to follow the wall until they see a milk carton next to some large rocks. Watch out for stinkbugs loitering near the milk carton and mosquitos hovering around the water's edge, and try to avoid them if possible.

By the milk carton, look up to see a small crack in the wall about halfway up. Close by, players can climb up the top and glide down to the entrance using a dandelion tuft, but this can be tricky to traverse. Alternatively, players that love to build can make grass floors and sets of grass ladder stairs using grass planks and weed stems to reach the wall.

There's plenty of grass nearby to chop, but players may need to backtrack
