Armor

Marksman's Cap
Grub Vest
Grub Leggings

For the best Ranger build in Grounded 2, the Marksman's Cap is a must. It allows you to do more damage with ranged weapons. Since you'll be able to engage from afar, every shot counts towards taking down Bugs faster.

Weapons

Spider Stringer
Wolf Stringer

When it comes to weapons for the best Ranger build in Grounded 2, there are a few choices. The Spider Stringer is a good weapon for the early game, and you can always go for the Bushwacker later on. However, you will eventually need the Wolf Stringer. You must take down a Wolf Spider to unlock it, though, which is easier said than done.

Trinket

Nifty Needle

Mutations

Ambush
Sharpshooter

Ambush will grant bonus damage on an attack from stealth, making it worth your while to be patient. With the chance to do critical damage, effects will stack, allowing you to take full advantage of ranged attacks.
