Grounded 2 features four unique classes to select from, each coming with its unique perks that benefit the type of weapon you use. The best part is that you aren’t restricted to a single class and can switch at any moment. This feature allows more flexible builds, especially in a solo scenario where you have to face multiple enemy types alone.
Here’s everything you need to know about classes in this game.
All you need to know about classes in Grounded 2
Classes in Grounded 2 are similar to the class system in any other game. However, you need not go on epic quests to unlock them. Instead, all you need to do is craft armor for that specific class that provides a buff that encourages a particular gameplay style.

An important thing to note while selecting a class is that the game does not restrict you from playing how you want. You can be a Fighter and wield a staff at the same time, or choose to wear an armor piece for different classes.
