Grounded 2 Fast Travel: How Does It Work?

No Traditional Fast Travel—Yet

As of the current early access release (launched July 29, 2025), WikipediaXbox Wire, and Grounded 2 do not include classic fast travel options like teleportation. Players must traverse Brookhollow Park on foot or via other traversal tools.

Introducing: The Pneumatic Transit System

With the 0.1.2 patch update, the game introduced a limited fast travel feature:

  • The Pneumatic Transit System is accessible only in Ranger Outposts.

  • To fast travel, locate an outpost, scan your SCA.B. 2K, then interact with the transit system to choose your destination outpost. Sportskeeda

  • This is the only in-game fast travel method currently available—but it encourages exploration by limiting availability.

Mobility via Buggies—The Rideable Insect Mounts

Fast travel isn’t just about instant point-to-point movement—transport itself has gotten a major upgrade thanks to Buggies:

  • Red Soldier Ant Buggy: Unlockable via the Egg Hunt quest. Excellent for swift traversal and hauling items. PC Gamer

  • Orb Weaver Spider Buggy: Obtained through the Networking mission. More combat-oriented and able to stun enemies. PC Gamer

  • Buggies don’t die permanently—when downed, they can be revived or will respawn at their nest after some time. PC Gamer

These mounts aren’t teleportation, but they offer one of the fastest ways to move across Brookhollow Park.

What’s included in the roadmap? Ziplines and Other Things

Expanded traversal features are hinted at in Obsidian’s roadmap for future releases:

In the summer of 2026, ziplines which offer quick, physics-based traversal are expected to reappear.

There are also hints of other traversal improvements:

Trailers alluded to wings and flight-like physics (like butterfly wings), but specifics are still unknown.

Voices of the Community: Desire More Quick Travel?

More imaginative traversal alternatives have long been theorized (and dreamed of) by Reddit users:

“The fastest way to travel is by zipline. You can traverse the entire map in roughly 15 seconds if you build them high enough.
Reddit

Other ways to travel quickly.

Players also floated ideas like tunnels, overnight sleeping teleports, and portal-like systems—concepts yet to be confirmed in development.
