Grounded has a game mechanic called ‘Creature Cards’, which allows players to snap images of creatures and collect information about them. This is a fun little mini-game players can do to help them get achievements, along with providing useful information on how to combat the little critters. Here is everything you need to know about the Grounded Create Cards.

We shine a light in teh dark to help you find all the creature cards in the game.

Creature Card Overview¶

Grounded’s creature card system allows players to enter a sort of binocular mode, called PEEP-R, allowing them to scan the area. If a creature you have not yet photographed comes along, you will get to see question marks at the bottom of the screen, along with an option to press a button and snap a photo of them. The controls of this will depend on the platform you use, but players on PC can enter the mode by pressing ‘X’ and then document the creature by pressing ‘E’. Controller players and then to document the creature.

Once you have successfully seen a creature and documented it, you then get a creature card. These creature cards go into the Data folder in your game menu. Each creature card you collect will then show a little cartoon image. Clicking a creature’s card will then reveal information about the creature, including the creature’s weaknesses. This allows players to learn which weapons and elemental weapon types are effective against which creatures. More so, you also get a stat tracker, which shows you how many times you have beaten this creature.

Lastly, there’s a chance when you take a peep at the creature, you may get a gold card. These are just another cool collectible for 100% completionists to acquire. You can also get gold cards by killing and looting the corpses of these creatures too. You can also get an achievement for collecting every single creature card in Grounded.
