Brookhollow Park just got a lot more\u2026 hairy. And a lot more scary! Grounded 2\u2019s newest update unleashes AXL, a colossal tarantula with enough legs, fangs, and fur to make even the bravest teens scrambling to fine-tune their loadouts. But don\u2019t worry\u2014you\u2019ll have the tools to fight back, and they\u2019re every bit as fearsome as the towering arachnid they come from.<\/p>\n

\"Grounded<\/p>\n

Defeating AXL opens up a whole new frontier of power. You can forge an imposing tarantula armor set, wield the devastating Tarantula Bow and Spear, and even decorate your base with spidery flair. From larger-capacity chests to flickering candles to the kind of throne Yoked Girth\u00a0would envy, you\u2019ll have plenty of eight-legged style to show off.<\/p>\n

\"Grounded<\/p>\n

This update also makes it easier than ever to turn your park empire into an architectural masterpiece. The streamlined BUILD.M grid system is here to make placing, snapping, and perfecting your creations more intuitive, giving your wildest blueprints a chance to shine.<\/p>\n

\"Grounded<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, your Buggy is getting a serious quality-of-life glow-up: with both PEEP.R and Hot Pouch integrated, you can scan, swap, and stock up without ever leaving the driver\u2019s seat. Pair that with a hauntingly stylish new Praying Mantis armor set, complete with plague doctor vibes and some nifty healing tricks, and you\u2019ve got more ways than ever to customize your playstyle.<\/p>\n

\"Grounded<\/p>\n

Not only that, but we are excited to announce Japanese and Brazilian localization have been added to Grounded 2 with this update. More languages will be added throughout development, so keep your eyes on our socials and the road map for future announcements!\u00a0<\/p>\n
