Grow a Garden 2: How to steal and defend, PvP tips and base defense

In Grow A Garden 2 (GAG 2), players can steal plants and fruits from other opponents at night and protect their garden by standing in the garden, equipping pets and defensive plants, and attacking opponents with powerful equipment or shovels.

The biggest difference of Grow A Garden 2 compared to the previous version is the ability to steal fruit or plants from neighbors. It sounds very interesting, but you can also be robbed in reverse when you are breaking into someone else’s base. To prevent that from happening, you need to learn how to both effectively defend your base and successfully steal to speed up your progression.

How to steal in Grow A Garden 2

First you need to know that the theft mechanism only works at night. So don’t try to invade someone else’s garden during the day. When night falls, simply go to any nearby garden with no players and press E to pick up the fruit you want to steal. After that, immediately run back to the base to keep those plants and fruits for yourself.

Remember, button Garden will not be available while stealing, meaning you cannot teleport back to base and can only jog to get back to your location. In particular, you are always at risk of being attacked by other players on the way back, so you should only steal in gardens that are close together, unless you play with friends to help deal with enemies while you focus on bringing loot back to base.

How to defend in Grow A Garden 2

Stealing is difficult, defending is even more difficult because many players can target you at the same time. Here are 5 important defense tips you should apply to avoid being robbed.

Play on private server

If you don’t want to be robbed in Grow A Garden 2, you should play on a private server. Gamers can easily create their own server by clicking on the Servers section on the game page.

Stay in the base

The best and simplest way to protect the garden is to stay in the base all night, if you do not intend to steal. In addition, you can also exit the game completely to access another server at another time.

Equip defensive pets

Pets are extremely useful in protecting the base in Grow A Garden 2 while you focus on robbing others, especially pets like Bees that can patrol around the garden and sting anyone trying to steal your crops and fruits.

Plants attack

Similar to pets, many plants such as Dragon’s Breath and Cactus also support base defense. For example, Dragon’s Breath will fire at all nearby opponents, causing them to drop their hard-earned Sheckles; Cactus will reduce the health bar every time the player steps on it.

Effective support equipment

There are many gear items such as Shovel, Gnome, Flashbang, Mushrooms, Power Hose, Freeze Ray and Vine Wrapper that players can equip to protect the base. Each item has its own mechanics, so choose gear that suits your play style. Some gear can be purchased with Sheckles in the in-game store, while others must be purchased with Robux.
