About the Game

When you've been shrunk to the size of an ant, what was once familiar is now a wild, uncharted frontier. Traverse sprawling manmade spaces overgrown with nature with buggies that can fight alongside with you, uncover hidden secrets, and fight to survive in a world much larger than the backyard. The playground may seem familiar, but beneath its bright colors and towering structures lie mysteries hidden in plain sight. Are you ready to uncover them?
Survive, Adapt, Overcome
The world is relentless, but so are you. Shape your adventure with unique archetypes, each offering distinct abilities to match your playstyle. Whether you rely on precision, cunning, or sheer strength, you’ll need every advantage to survive against the threats lurking in the park.
Stronger Together
The perils of the park are daunting alone, but with friends, every challenge becomes an adventure. Work together to build, fight, and uncover the secrets buried beneath the grass. Whether you’re facing danger side by side or continuing your journey in a shared world, survival is always better with allies.
Walking is Bogus - Introducing Buggies
They scurry, they fight, and now—they help you survive. Hatch, raise, and ride your own insect friends - buggies! Saddle up and ride through the park, command them in battle, or have them help gather resources. The right partner could mean the difference between thriving and barely surviving.
A Shadow That Follows You
The threat is always there—watching, learning, waiting. You don’t know where it’s coming from, only that it never leaves. The deeper you dig, the closer it gets. Some mysteries should stay buried, but it’s too late now. It knows you’re looking. And it’s ready. Every answer drags you deeper, every step invites something closer. You were never alone. You thought you were in control. You were wrong.

Official update history
Thank you so much for your reports on the Into the Abyss update for Grounded 2. The team has been closely monitoring player feedback for the update and noticed two major things being discussed.
First, the Creature Aggression and Aggro Range of certain creatures were too high, causing creature encounters and combat to turn into a giant, never-ending fight or chase. This was especially common with the Mosquitoes.
The other big piece of feedback was that the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan encounter was too difficult.
The team has made some changes based on this feedback, and we hope the game feels more balanced and, more importantly, fun for you. If you are encountering any issues or would like to report additional information, please let us know and we're happy to help. As always, thank you for helping us make Grounded 2 a better experience.
Creature Aggression:
This is only our first step toward making this more balanced, and as always, we’ll continue to listen to player feedback.
Removed 50% of the spawns for Mosquitoes and Tiger Mosquitoes
Significantly reduced the vision range of Mosquitoes and Wasps
Also significantly reduced the range at which these creatures will follow the player
O.G.R.R Toe Biter Leviathan:
Removed the Woozy Attack
Reduced the nymph spawning chance
Reduced the damage and health of the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where the Toe Biter Scythe would gain the “Chop” effect when upgraded with any elemental damage
Due to this fix players are required to fight the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan as originally intended to upgrade to the Tier 4 Omni Axe
If you have been having trouble receiving Infused Ooze from this fight, check the floor around the boss arena
We have also seen the “love” for this bug, and we are investigating whether there is a way to bring back this functionality in the future. No promises, though. 🙂
Fixed an issue where, when perfect blocking, the player would still take damage from the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan

General Bug Fixes:
Resolved an issue that was causing client player’s backpacks to float under the map preventing players from retrieving them
The contents of your backpack should no longer be transferred to your Buggy Inventory when you pick up your backpack while riding a Buggy
Players should no longer be able to damage other players with the Omni Clipper

Fixed an issue where the player is unable to switch camera modes after running into a web while hauling an item
Non PTS POI's will no longer show up as locked when being observed through the PTS Fast Travel UI
We are aware that players are experiencing other issues outside of these fixes, and we hope to release a bigger patch as soon as possible.
