Grounded Antbassador Mutation: How To Get

We aren't going to beat around the bush (or should we say anthill?) here. To get the Antbassador Mutation in Grounded, you must make the new Ant Queens happy. That's the Black Ant Queen, Fire Ant Queen, and Red Ant Queen.

To make the Ant Queens happy and fully unlock the Antbassador Mutation, you must feed them their favorite food and avoid the poison or infected variants. We've outlined the type of food you must craft and then select as an offering to befriend Ant Queen below.

  • Give Red Ant Queen a Juicy Mushroom Sandwich.
  • Give Fire Ant Queen a Tasty Toejam Sandwich.
  • Give Black Ant Queen a Yummy Gum Sandwich.

An in-game description of the Antbassador mutation reads:

Your kind demeanor and actions, a bridge between species, have granted you a place among the ants.
