Grounded 2 is all about bringing the right gear and the right bug to the fight. The bugs of Brookhollow Park each have damage-type weaknesses, so the best weapon is often the one that matches the bug in front of you, but a few picks rise above the rest. Here is our ranking.
For the interactive board with every pick linked to its wiki page, browse the full Grounded 2 tier list.
Weapon Tier List
S Tier: The Black Ant Sword brings strong slashing damage and quick swings, while the Sprig Bow softens dangerous bugs before they reach you.
A Tier: The Scorching Orb covers elemental damage for bugs weak to it, and the throwable Pebblet Spear keeps you at a safe range early on.
B and below: The Roach Club staggers shelled bugs with smashing damage, the Ladyguard blends offense and blocking, and the Weevil Shield is pure defense.
Armor Set Tier List
The Wyrm Slayer Armor is the top-end endgame set, and the Nightstalker Armor rewards aggressive crit-and-stealth play. The Snail Shell Armor lets you tank bigger bugs, while the Acorn Armor is a balanced set for your opening hours.
Buggy Mount Tier List
Buggies are the headline feature, and the right one transforms how you travel and fight. The Black Soldier Ant Buggy tops the list by combining high-tier harvesting with real Tang offense. The Ladybuggy tanks and heals, the Orb Weaver Buggy is fast and spins web bridges, and the Red Soldier Ant Buggy is the reliable early ride.
Final Thoughts
Match your damage type to each bug's weakness, raise a strong Buggy early, and the park opens up. Use the interactive tier list to jump to any page, and explore the full Grounded 2 wiki for the complete database.
