Grounded 2 Acid Gland Guide | How to Get & Farm Them
Acid Glands are dropped by Red Soldier Ants and Larva. You need to defeat these enemies to collect the glands, which are used in advanced crafting recipes.
Where to Find Red Soldier Ants
Red Soldier Ants are larger and stronger than regular ants. They are most commonly found inside the Hatchery Anthill, which becomes accessible during the Egg Hunt quest.
Be prepared for multiple enemies in tight tunnels. Bring armor, healing items, and a strong weapon before entering.
Where to Find Larva
Larva are found underground and can be revealed with the Omni-Shovel. Look for shifting dirt patches and dig to uncover them. Defeating Larva has a chance to drop Acid Glands along with other materials.
Farming Tips
For guaranteed Acid Glands, focus on Red Soldier Ants inside the Hatchery Anthill. Use ranged weapons or hit-and-run tactics to avoid being overwhelmed.
Digging up Larva is safer but slower since spawns are less predictable.
Final Blurb
Acid Glands come from fighting Red Soldier Ants or digging up Larva. Focus on ant nests for steady drops or farm Larva for a slower but safer option.
