Where to find Mite Fuzz in Grounded 2, and how to get it

The only way to get your hands on Mite Fuzz in Grounded 2 is by hunting down Lawn Mites. These small, aggressive creatures drop exactly one of them each time you take them out. They’re not passive either; once you're in their range, they’ll charge at you without hesitation. This means you won’t have to search too hard once you're nearby (they’ll find you first).

For consistent Mite Fuzz farming, head to the Ranger Outpost, and then take the uphill path that curves left just past it. Stay on that path, and you’ll find yourself in an area crawling with Lawn Mites. This makes Mite Fuzz one of the more accessible resources for newer players, though fighting several Mites at once can still be too much if you’re not prepared.

We also recommend revisiting this area periodically during your playthrough, as it refreshes, especially when you need more fuzz for crafting or research.

If you find yourself surrounded by a swarm, it’s best to pull them apart and fight one at a time. Mites can pile up fast and chip away at your health quickly in groups, even if they’re small.
