Grounded 2's park and locations have plenty of enemies across the map, and you can occasionally come across Snails.
These are relatively safe creatures who don't attack. Sadly, you'll need to take down these gentle beasts for various crafting materials, including their shells. Obtaining any item from Snails is tricky, as they will return to their shells when attacked. The shells don't take any damage, which makes your task harder. Let's find out how to kill a Snail and obtain their shells.

How to kill Snails in Grounded 2?
If you have a buggy with you, order it to stay far away from the Snail. This is to accidentally prevent it from spooking your target. Tread carefully, and land a blow on the Snail. When you do that, it will hide its head in its shell and become immune to all damage.
The trick is to retreat enough that the Snail thinks there's no more danger. Repeat what you did last time, and go back. Once you land enough damage, you'll end the Snail's life. While it can escape damage by hiding in its shell, it can't heal. Hence, all damage counts; all that matters is how many blows you'll need to land.
Ranged weapons have a natural advantage, since you can keep chipping away at the health from a distance. However, melee weapons, especially ones that can land stuns, are highly beneficial and can get the job done faster. Ultimately, you can use any weapon you want, but a ranged tool makes it easier to finish the task. Once killed, you'll get certain resources, which also include its impenetrable shell.
How to get Snail shells in Grounded 2?
Killing a Snail gets you Garden Snail Slime and Raw Snail Meat. These items can be used in healing and cooking recipes, like the Lingonberry Bandage. If you're lucky enough, you might get a shell, a tier III item. However, the drop is random (at least during my tests), and you'll need a Level III Omni-Hammer, which is done via upgrades.
