Grow a Garden 2 keeps its weekend update rhythm going, and the June 22, 2026 patch is a small one focused on a single addition. The Strawberry Sniper joins the Gear Shop as a new tool you can use against other players, firing strawberry projectiles that knock anyone they hit backwards. It is a compact follow-up to the much larger Aurora Event Update that landed two days earlier.
Quick answer: The June 22 Minor Update adds one new gear, the Strawberry Sniper, which shoots strawberry projectiles that push players backwards. There are no new seeds, pets, or weather events in this patch.
Strawberry Sniper gear (June 22, 2026)
The Strawberry Sniper is a ranged gear item built around player disruption rather than farming. When fired, it launches strawberry projectiles that knock the target backwards, which makes it useful for interrupting neighbors or pushing rivals away from your plots. This is the only confirmed change in the June 22 patch, so the rest of the game’s systems carry over unchanged from the previous update.

What carried over from the Aurora Event Update
The June 20, 2026 Aurora Event Update is still the bigger story for anyone returning to the game. It brought a new Mythic plant, a Mythic pet, a nighttime weather event, a fresh mutation, and several gear additions. Everything from that patch remains live alongside the Strawberry Sniper.
| Addition | What it does |
|---|---|
| Venom Spitter (seed) | Mythic plant that increases defensive strength |
| Bear (pet) | Mythic pet that defends your garden by attacking other players |
| Aurora Borealis (weather) | Applies the Aurora mutation to random crops during the night |
| Aurora (mutation) | Grants a 1.5x value multiplier, earned only during the Aurora event |
| Megaphone (gear) | Annoys nearby neighbors, sold for 8K in the Gear Shop |
| Player Magnet (gear) | Pulls nearby players toward you, available for 7M in the Gear Shop |
| Pet Teleporters (paid gear) | Teleport to your Legendary, Mythic, or Super pet anywhere on the map |
| Double or Nothing | Sell mechanic that risks doubling crop value or losing it all |
| Anti-cheat | Enabled across all servers |
The Aurora mutation is the most valuable carryover. Crops that pick it up during the Aurora Borealis weather sell for 1.5 times their normal value, and the event only appears at night, so it is worth timing your harvests around it.
How to get the Strawberry Sniper
The Strawberry Sniper is a Gear Shop item, so you acquire it the same way as other gear in Grow a Garden 2. Open the in-game Gear Shop and look for the new entry once your server has received the patch. You will know it worked when the item appears in your backpack and you can fire it at nearby players.
Note: Updates roll out per server, so if the gear is not showing up yet, rejoin a fresh server to pull the latest version of the game.
Grow a Garden 2 launched on Roblox on June 12, 2026, and the developers have shipped content nearly every weekend since. With the Strawberry Sniper added on top of the Aurora event content, the next patch has not been given an official date yet, but the cadence so far points to more arriving soon.
