Crafting gear and scavenging resources drive progression in Grounded 2. Among these materials, Grub Hide proves vital for early-game equipment but demands strategic hunting. This elusive item comes from Grubs—subterranean creatures avoiding direct confrontation.

Locating Grubs in Grounded 2

These burrowing insects leave distinctive soil disturbances across Brookhollow Park. Identify their presence through quivering earth patches and soft chittering sounds. Specialized excavation tools like the Omni-Shovel—crafted using 2 Sprigs, 1 Grass Seed, and 350 Raw Science—are mandatory for unearthing them. Concentrate searches around the Snackbar Ranger Outpost for optimal results.

Exercise caution: Vigorous tremors signal hostile Larvae instead. These aggressive insects attack immediately upon surfacing, unlike passive Grubs.

Harvesting Grub Hide Applications

Subduing exposed Grubs yields multiple materials including the coveted hides. Act swiftly—delayed attacks allow escape through reburrowing. Collected hides facilitate crucial early-game crafts like hydration containers, protective armor sets, and specialized blades.
