Obsidian Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios launched a new update today for Grounded 2 while it's in Early Access, as the Hairy & Scary update brings some things you probably wish weren't here. Specifically, they have added AXL, which is a giant tarantula that is probably one of the scariest things you'll encounter in the sequel. The game has also been given new mutations, new trinkets, new items you can craft out of AXL, the new Build.M that replaces the construction radial, and more. We have more info from the devs below as the content is now live.
Grounded 2 – Hairy & Scary
The park's newest nightmare has eight legs, razor-sharp fangs, and enough hair to make your skin crawl. AXL, the tarantula boss, is here to put your courage to the test. Defeating this towering terror unlocks a full suite of tarantula-themed rewards:
- Forge the imposing Tarantula Armor set
- Wield the devastating Tarantula Bow and Spear
- Add some spooky style to your base with chests, candles, and even a candlelit throne
Build Smarter with BUILD.M
Your grand designs just got easier. The new BUILD.M grid system makes snapping, placing, and perfecting your creations more intuitive than ever—so whether you're raising a park empire or just tidying up your camp, your wildest blueprints can finally shine.
Buggy Upgrades & New Gear
Exploring Brookhollow Park on wheels is smoother than ever. With Hot Pouch support fully integrated into your Buggy, you can scan, swap, and stock up without leaving the driver's seat. Plus, a haunting new Praying Mantis armor set brings plague-doctor style and handy healing tricks to keep you rolling in one piece.
