Exciting Updates in Grounded 2: The Hairy and Scary Expansion
Obsidian Entertainment has recently released the first significant update for their survival game, Grounded 2, titled Hairy and Scary. This update introduces thrilling new content, including a challenging boss battle featuring a gigantic tarantula, along with an array of enhancements aimed at improving gameplay.
Boss Battle: Confronting AXL, the Colossal Tarantula
At the center of the update is the formidable boss called AXL, a massive tarantula that has made its home in Brookhollow Park. As illustrated in the trailer, players will need to strategize and prepare thoroughly to defeat this fearsome creature, but the rewards for overcoming this significant challenge are set to be impressive.
Unlock New Gear and Power
Defeating AXL unlocks a plethora of new possibilities. Players can forge a newly designed tarantula armor set and gain access to the powerful Tarantula Bow and Spear. Additionally, players can enhance their bases with unique decorations that echo the eight-legged theme—everything from larger-capacity storage chests to atmospheric flickering candles, ensuring that players can showcase their accomplishments in style. With items such as a throne that even Yoked Girth would admire, the personalization options are extensive.
Enhanced Building Mechanics and Additional Features
This update also revamps the building system, making it significantly easier for players to snap objects and materials into place with precision. A complete overhaul of the construction radial improves the overall user experience.
For players who enjoy roaming on insects, the ability to utilize the PEEP. R feature and the Hot Pouch without dismounting is a welcomed addition. Additionally, the introduction of a Praying Mantis armor set adds a unique plague-doctor aesthetic for those looking to enhance their offensive capabilities.
Embracing the Halloween Spirit
With October underway, Obsidian Entertainment has infused the game with a festive Halloween theme. Players can expect a spooky ambiance throughout the park, resource replacements such as candy corn, and festive Trick-or-Treatery Buildings to explore.
Performance Improvements and Patch Notes
Alongside new content, the Hairy and Scary update includes a variety of performance enhancements and bug fixes. Adjustments to critical hit multipliers, stunning effects, parries, armor set bonuses, and mutations enrich gameplay further. Players can find the comprehensive patch notes for this update here. The update is now available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and through Game Pass.
