Grounded 2 Ant Nest Guide | Red Ant Egg
The Red Ant Nest is where you will find Red Soldier Ants, their eggs, and materials needed for the Red Soldier Ant Buggy. Entering the nest is dangerous but necessary for unlocking one of the fastest ways to travel in Grounded 2.
How to Find the Red Ant Nest
The Red Ant Nest entrance is marked by heavy ant traffic nearby. Watch for larger Red Soldier Ants near the entrance, as they patrol the area and will attack if provoked. Bring weapons, armor, and healing items before heading inside.
How to Get a Red Soldier Ant Egg
Inside the nest, explore the tunnels until you reach the egg chambers. Red Soldier Ant eggs appear as reddish-brown pods in small groups. You can only carry one egg at a time, and it does not go into your backpack inventory.
Pick it up and quickly leave, as carrying an egg will make all nearby ants hostile.
Why You Need Red Soldier Ant Eggs
The egg is a key component in crafting the Red Soldier Ant Buggy and other ant-related items once you have unlocked the Hatchery blueprint. This blueprint becomes available after completing the Missed Connection questline and purchasing it from the Ranger Station Science Shop for 500 science points.
Surviving the Ant Nest
Bring at least basic armor and a strong melee weapon to handle Red Soldier Ant attacks.
Carry bandages or healing items for emergency recovery.
Clear ants slowly and use choke points in tunnels to avoid being swarmed.
Plan an escape route before picking up an egg since ants become aggressive immediately.
Final Blurb
The Red Ant Nest is a high-risk area but the only source for Red Soldier Ant eggs, needed to build your buggy. Prepare well, move quickly, and know your way out before grabbing an egg.
