Status Effects
From Grounded 2 Wiki
More actions
Status effects are making a return in Grounded 2 and are likely to be even more diverse. These effects are temporary buffs and debuffs that alter your character's damage output, resistances, speed, or other crucial stats. They can originate from both enemies and the environment. Understanding and managing these effects will be critical for survival in the larger and more perilous backyard, especially during combat and exploration. We can certainly expect new and unexpected status effects to accompany the new creatures and biomes.
