Grounded 2 Mutations
Cardio Fan
Cardio Fan rewards repeated stamina depletion with faster regeneration and shorter exhaustion. It supports sprint-heavy exploration and weapons that regularly spend most of the stamina bar.
Overview
A survival mutation that improves stamina recovery and shortens exhaustion.
How to unlock it
- Fully deplete stamina 100 times for Phase 1, 250 for Phase 2, and 500 for Phase 3.
- Normal travel and Buggy activity can contribute, so the mutation progresses naturally over a long save.
Strategy notes
- Use it with stamina-hungry melee weapons or during long exploration routes.
- Faster recovery helps after exhaustion, but leaving a small stamina reserve remains safer during boss attacks.
