There are many weird and wonderful Trinkets to be found in the Backyard. As such, one of the trinkets you will be able to find and access later on in the games Haze area is the Defense Badge. As a result lets find the Grounded Defense Badge Location! For this Trinket, we will have to access the Haze Lab.

Grounded Defense Badge Location

Once you will have headed to the location shown on the map above, you will want to try and look out for a part of the lab that has quite a few Infected Weevils. After finding them you want to look for a slightly open area that leads to a body of water. You can dive into to reach other areas of the lab.

Secondly, you will want to make sure you do not get baited into going towards the water. However you are in the correct room already! All you have to do is bring a light source and make a right in the room above.

As a result of heading right with a light source you should now have come across a rather gruesome corpse of a former employee! Interacting with the corpse, and you will have found the Grounded Defense Badge Location! It is that simple. The area itself is easy enough to get to providing you have a gas mask or the Toxicology Badge! Check out our interactive map for other badges lying around for you to discover!

The Defense Badge will increase your damage resistance at the cost of overall attack damage. Most trinkets have a positive and negative effect, so equip accordingly for your Backyard adventures!
