A strange warning in Grounded 2 turns into a dangerous challenge when a mysterious stranger sends her robotic bug minions to attack you and your base. This will test your strength and fighting skills, so it’s best to be prepared.
Whether you make it through the attack or not depends on your gear, defenses, skills, and strategy. Here are some helpful tips to help you survive the O.R.C. enemy assault and complete the “A Strange Warning” quest in Grounded 2.
### How to Defeat the Stranger’s Forces
Before starting the “A Strange Warning” quest, ensure your tools and weapons are as upgraded as possible. You should have unlocked your Ant Buggy, which can be useful in the fight. Preparation is crucial because you’ll face multiple O.R.C. enemies at once.
Make a bow and arrows to keep enemies at a distance. Also, upgrade your spear or other melee weapons to handle close combat effectively. The quest begins once you’ve crafted your three spike strips, so focus on preparing your weapons and armor first.
> Tip: Save your game before building spike strips and triggering the O.R.C. raid. If you’re defeated, you can reload and try again.
Resources in the immediate area make it easy to craft spike strips, so build a line of them in front of your camp (not just the three needed for the quest). The O.R.C. bugs will generally spawn on the other side of the spike strips and will need to cross them to reach you. Once the attack starts, lead them over the spike strips repeatedly to slow down their progress.

You can also use the outpost to confuse and disorient the enemies by retreating inside. Use this space to heal before heading back to attack the bugs. Sometimes they will end up on the ground above the outpost, trying to get inside, giving you a chance to attack from behind.
Leverage your Ant Buggy for mobility or as a distraction. Stay alert and keep moving to avoid getting overwhelmed by multiple enemies at once.
### What Happens If You Fail the “A Stranger’s Warning” Quest?
If you get overwhelmed and your character dies, you’ll respawn and have to wait for another attack. The enemy forces are strong, so a defeat is possible if you’re not well-prepared. When you die, the attackers will need some time before they come back—usually around two in-game days—so you’ll have a window to gear up again.
> Note: If you don’t want to wait, simply reload an earlier save game and try again. Try to identify what went wrong and adapt your tactics to better defend against the O.R.C. enemies during future attempts.
