The Ranger Station is one stop for everything (Image via Xbox Game Studios)
Grounded 2's early game introduces a variety of gameplay elements, including the Ranger Challenges. After making your way into the Communications Array, you’ll come across a Ranger Station. It’s a machine where you can access the challenges — tasks you can complete to earn Raw Science, which is the main currency for upgrading and purchasing crafting recipes.

The list is long, and not every challenge will be available to complete at the start of your journey.

On reaching the Ranger Station for the first time, the machine displayed 47 challenges, but, as mentioned, not everything will be available at once. As you progress through the game or complete various quests, more challenges will unlock at the station.
