Overview

• Grounded 2’s early access currently features two rideable mounts—the Red Soldier Ant and the Orb Weaver Spider—each unlocked through the Egg Hunt and Networking quests, respectively.
• Players must purchase a 500 Science-point hatchery blueprint at any Ranger Outpost and craft it using weed stems, acorn tops and shells, plus mite fuzz to begin incubating eggs.
• Saddles require distinct materials before incubation: the ant mount needs grub hides, sprigs and an acorn shell while the spider mount calls for blueberry leather, red ant mandibles and acorn shells.
• Once hatched, Buggies boost traversal, resource gathering, hauling and combat support and, if downed, return to their nests to recover rather than dying permanently.
• Obsidian Entertainment’s early-access roadmap will roll out hotpouches, a ladybug mount in winter, water-based buggies in summer and expanded customization options.
