Grounded is an action-adventure survival game where the main character is shrunk to the size of an ant and must strive to survive in their own backyard. The backyard transforms into a massive explorable world, where players can run into various bugs and insects, like ants, bees, spiders, dust mites, and more.
Red Ants are one of the first creatures players are most likely to encounter in Grounded. They are neutral creatures that wander aimlessly in search of food and smaller creatures to prey on. Interestingly, Red Worker Ants are the main source of Red Ant Eggs which are used to craft explosives, like Bratburst. To find these Red Ant Eggs, you will need to venture deep into a Red Anthill.

The Pinch Whacker is a powerful weapon that players can get in Grounded if they follow the steps in this guide.
Where To Find A Red Anthill
Anthills are essentially caves that host a colony of a particular species of ants and contain unique resources like marble and quartzite. Red Anthills are specifically home to Red Worker Ants and contain their precious Red Ant Eggs.
The Red Anthill can be found in the northwest area of the backyard, near the border of the Central Grasslands and the Haze. It is currently the third-largest Anthill in the game and the only place where you can find Red Ant Eggs. There are multiple rooms in this cave, such as the main chambers, egg rooms, and treasure room.
The treasure room is located deep within the Red Anthil and contains a BURG.L Chip, an Ice Cap Mint, and a Sturdy Quartzite. Apart from these, you can find the following items in a Red Anthill:
- Rotten Bee Armor (Face Mask, Shin Guards, Shoulder Pads)
- Brittle Quartzite Shard
- Study Quartzite Shard
- Brittle Marble Shard
- Mint Shard
- Pebblet
- Slime Mold Stalk
- Fungal Growth
Unfortunately, you will not be able to enter a Red Anthill or explore its many rooms without wearing a full set of
Red Ant Armor.

You unlock the recipe for these parts when you closely examine the Red Ant Part and reach Brainpower Level 2. The crafting recipe for each of the pieces is given in the table below.
