Exploring Grounded 2 gets tougher as you face stronger enemies and harsher environments. That’s where Sizzle and Chill Resistant Armor Sets come in handy, especially the sizzle set, which protects you from heat-based status effects used by several high-level enemies, including the final boss. This guide will walk you through everything you need to gather to craft both armor sets and survive the wild backyard.
How to Craft Chill & Sizzle Resistant Armor
Crafting Sizzle and Chill Resistant Armor Sets in Grounded 2 is key to survival, here’s everything you’ll need to make it.
Bee Fuzz
To collect Bee Fuzz, keep an eye out for bees flying around the map, especially near the Snackbar Table. This is where they tend to land and rest, making them easier targets. Wait patiently for a bee to land before attacking, as it’s much harder to hit them mid-flight. Once defeated, they drop bee fuzz, a crucial ingredient for crafting.
Lingonberry Leather
You can obtain Lingonberries by shooting them down from the Hedge area located along the West Wall of the map. These berries are scattered high among the branches, so keep your aim steady. You’ll need approximately 60 berries to craft enough leather for both armor sets, and gathering them all should take about 10 minutes if you’re efficient.
Bombardier Parts & Boiling Glands
Bombardier Beetles are aggressive enemies that spawn in several locations across the map, but one is guaranteed to appear at the Snack Bar Table. Defeating them yields Bombardier Parts, and with a bit of luck, Boiling Glands as well. You’ll need to take down several beetles to collect enough materials for your crafting needs.
Spicy Shards
Spicy Shards are scattered throughout various areas of the map. To collect them, you’ll need the Omni Tool Level 2, which allows you to break open the spicy rocks and harvest the shards inside. Make sure your tool is upgraded before you go hunting for these, as lower-tier tools won’t do the job.
Gnat Fuzz
Gnats are small flying insects that typically hover near water sources such as ponds or puddles. They’re relatively easy to kill once you spot them. Simply head to any nearby water and take out a few gnats to collect enough fuzz for your crafting needs. It usually doesn’t take long to gather what you need.
Silk Rope
To craft Silk Rope, you’ll first need to collect Spider Webs. Once you’ve gathered enough web, head to your Spinning Wheel crafting station and process the webs into silk rope. It’s a simple yet essential step for making advanced gear.
Milkweed Tufts
Milkweed Tufts can be harvested by heading south of the Picnic Table, where you’ll find Milkweed plants topped with large pink flowers. To collect the tufts, shoot the flower pods until they fall to the ground, then gather the tufts that scatter from the broken pods. They’re a light, feathery material often used in crafting.
Acid Glands & Bug Rubber
Acid Glands are dropped by Larvae, which are hostile insects that can be found burrowing through various parts of the map. To craft Bug Rubber, you’ll need to combine Sap with Acid Glands at your crafting bench. Both ingredients are fairly easy to find, making bug rubber one of the more accessible materials to produce.
Crafting the Armor Sets
Once you’ve collected all the ingredients, especially the Bombardier parts, which are needed in larger amounts, you’ll be able to craft both the Sizzle Resistant Armor and the Fuzzy (Chill Resistant) Armor sets. These will prepare you for hot zones, cold effects, and even the game’s toughest enemies.
Now you’re geared up and ready to explore Grounded 2 like a pro. Craft your armor, fight smarter, and conquer every corner of the backyard.
