How to get Null Grenade in Abiotic Factor
Null Grenade is one of the most useful tools in Abiotic Factor, especially when dealing with hardlight technology. Unlike traditional explosives, it doesn’t deal damage but instead nullifies shields and disables hardlight barriers, making it an essential tool for certain areas. If you’ve found yourself stuck in Shadowgate or want to be fully prepared for fights against shielded enemies, you’ll need to get your hands on some of these grenades.

Unlock the Null Grenade Recipe
You won’t find it early in the game - it becomes available only after progressing far enough into the story. Specifically, reach Shadowgate, which is only accessible after completing the Four Reactors. Once inside, you’ll have to defeat the witches to obtain the censers. These are key items required for unlocking the recipe, but simply having them doesn’t always trigger it immediately.

Crafting the Null Grenade
Once you’ve unlocked the recipe, you can finally craft Null Grenades at a crafting bench. To make a batch of three grenades, you’ll need the following materials:
- Transuranic Superalloy – This rare metal is a crucial component in high-tech weaponry.

- Purported Grimoire – A mysterious arcane item required for crafting.
- Military Electronics (3) – Found in advanced tech areas or looted from enemy bases.
- Arcane Scrap (3) – Salvaged from magical or supernatural sources.
Gathering these materials might take some time, so it’s a good idea to stock up whenever you come across them.

Using Null Grenades
Unlike traditional grenades, Null Grenades don’t deal direct damage. Instead, they create an energy pulse that neutralizes shields and disables hardlight barriers. This makes them essential for taking down enemies with energy-based defenses and breaking through certain obstacles in Shadowgate. If you encounter a hardlight wall blocking your path, toss a Null Grenade at it and watch it vanish.

If you plan to explore Shadowgate or face off against enemies with energy shields, Null Grenades are a must-have. Unlocking their recipe requires progression through the game, but once you’ve got it, crafting them is straightforward—assuming you have the right materials. Now that you know how to get and use them, go out there and start breaking down those hardlight barriers!
