Grounded 2 - Hairy and Scary

Obsidian Entertainment’s first major content drop for Grounded 2 is now available and adds a fearsome new arachnid foe, AXL. Headlining the Hairy and Scary update is the biggest spider in the franchise to date. Check out the trailer below to see it in action.

Of course, the update introduces two new armor sets, a bow and spear, alongside some spider-themed decorations (and larger chests). BUILD.M is also included for snappier building alongside two new Trinkets, a new Mutation, and timed-limited Halloween content.

If that wasn’t enough, the Hotpouch is a permanent fixture in the inventory screen and can be used on your buggy. The Orb Weaver also boasts improved navigation and will no longer receive fall damage. PC players can also adjust graphical options, including setting Lumen Global Illumination Quality to on or off.
