Improvements to the "new player" experience.Individual armor pieces that aren't part of a larger set don't benefit from an armor set bonus, so Obsidian is increasing the defensive bonuses for any armor not included in a set.Light armor provides a stamina regeneration bonus (but likely less defense overall), Medium armor provides no change to stamina regeneration, and Heavy armor actually decreases stamina regeneration (but should provide greater defense overall).

Party upgrades like increased food stacks, resources, and ammo.Personal upgrades like increased max health and stamina, slower hunger and thirst, and additional Mutation slots.Some of the stat boosts that can be obtained include: Obsidian is introducing milk molars, a brand-new resource that can be invested in upgrading player and party stats in Grounded. Obsidian is adding a new BURG.L chip for players to track down with this update, but they're also working on some fundamental system-level changes for BURG.L missions and chips for a future update. If players are brave enough to take down the slightly-less-adorable-at-this-size Roly Poly, they can craft a full Roly Poly armor set. Roly Polies are being added to Grounded, complete with their armored rolling technique. The Trash Heap, which features a ton of salvageable trash.The Picnic Table, which features a beehive, harvestable goodies, fun easter eggs, and generally works to expand the in-game lore.Grounded's Hot and Hazy Update adds two brand-new Landmarks, including: Landmarks can often feature unique resources and reasons for visiting, as well. In Grounded, Landmarks are unique locations that, like the name implies, can be used to navigate the map if players know what to look for.

A brand-new lab with additional threats and secrets.We don't know all the details of this mini-boss, yet, but it will feature multiple stages of combat.

Obsidian has plans to expand the "Sizzle" mechanic after collecting feedback on the feature.Players can also avoid "Sizzle" by exploring the Sandbox at night. Players without adequate protection, like shade or unique armor, will begin to overheat while in the Sandbox during the day, eventually succumbing to the heat and perishing. A new "Sizzle" mechanic, which affects players in direct sunlight.The Sandbox biome features a ton of new content for players to look out for, including: The new Sandbox biome pretty much is as the name implies: a deceptively large child's sandbox in the shape of a playful crab.
