Now, to get your own Orb Weaver buggy in Grounded 2, you need to hatch an egg. You have to source an unhatched egg and manually carry it back to your hatchery.

These eggs can generally be found underneath Burgl’s body. Exercise caution, as the lair will be swarming with both mature and juvenile Orb Weavers, and they can deal some serious damage.

Once you've gotten your hands on an egg, carry it to your hatchery and place it there. It will take 24 in-game hours for it to hatch. Once it does, you can use the harness to climb over the buggy and utilize it however you like.
