Buggys – rideable ants and spiders – are the cornerstone of Grounded 2. They fulfill player requests, enable faster exploration, and add strategic depth to combat in the game's vastly expanded world. With a long-term vision for new Buggys and community-driven development, Grounded 2 is set to deliver a deeper, more expansive, and technically advanced survival experience, largely thanks to its innovative Buggy system.
Meet Your Mounts
So far, Fire Ants and Red Ants are confirmed mounts. These ant allies offer various benefits:
- Hauling: They "help you transport supplies."
- Digging: They "even help you dig."
- Squad Up: A red ant soldier mount can "enlist up to two red ant workers to follow you around."
Orb Weaver Spiders are also confirmed as "Buggys," excelling in combat:
- Heavy Hitters: They "hit like a tonne of bricks."
- Speed Demons: "Terrifyingly fast" in a fight.
- Stun Shriek: They can "belt out a shriek that can stun other critters."
Good news for arachnophobes: the game's arachnophobia mode will apply to rideable spiders too. This means ants are for utility and support, while spiders are for high-impact combat and speed, adding a new layer of strategy to your adventures.
